So I finally got around to making a Landscape version Generic Character Sheet. Tell me what y'all think.

Linkies!!

Here's a preview.

Pretty sharp looking. Clean, easy to read and essential information covered. And, a biggie for me, PRINT-FRIENDLY!! Laughing Laughing Laughing

I like the military stencil and that it's one-sided.

What setting is it going to be used for? Strike Force 7? Agents of Oblivion?

What did you use to design it? (I want to make my own)

Found one typo in Weight Carried.

I meant this as a generic character sheet but it does certainly have a military feel.

I used Photoshop and my own videogame texturing know-how.

+ Clear clean layout particularly the light background
+ Landscape uses paper efficiently

- Not a fan of stencil or all-caps fonts for readability
- I find dice shapes for traits look cool, but are unclear in practice. Players don't always fill them in neatly

YMMV in fact it probably should.

For people looking for textures I can recommend CG Textures for free texture files. They ask for a registration but do not do weird things with it.

I have a Excel trifold I use for my players, it looks wrong in Google docs but it works fine in Excel.

I prefer the passport look - much more spacious and more readable. Particlarly the dice symbols look way better without the black surround.

Nitpicks
- you could centre align the wounds - INC - fatigue track
- the "+____" modifiers to the attributes should be aligned
- I tend to call the section you call "Weapons" "Attacks" as it can then hold unarmed attacks too..
- I keep the weight (and cost) with the Gear section and skip it in the Attack section

I like the second one, for the most part. The "Racial Traits" section seems unnecessarily large for general-purpose use. What would you put there that you wouldn't just have accounted for with edges/hindrances/traits?

I second the second one.

Getting close to what I'm looking for in a character sheet.

Could you do some modifications for me?

No little dice symbols at all new to the attributes or skill area at all. Just a line to write in what type of dice belongs there. I.E. D4, D6, D8, etc...

Enough room at the "PACE" to be able to include the "Running" die. I.E D6 or whatever it my happen to be.

Smaller "Extra" character sheet the same way.

Vehicle sheet in the same format.

I'm looking for a matching generic set. Wink

I can't help but think the +____ should be next to the die level, instead of on the other side of the stat/skill name.

Just tell me what info you want on each card. You seem to have specific requirements.

Oh, and do you want the smaller cards to be 3x5 or card deck sized 2 1/2 x 3 1/2?

And if anyone just want the backgrounds so they can add their own text, That won't be a problem either.
