Character Sheet/Templates Project

Dinger · Ensign Joined: 14 Jan 2017 Posts: 32 Location: Edmonds, WA

So I actually debated on keeping the color for the 2E R&E sheets (and the fillable one I made) but ended up deciding to keep it black and white for uniformity.

Im also thinking of doing a second Compilation of just the 1st Ed templates in case people choose to play 1E over the newer versions

Ive got my file ready for data entry of all the templates data, thought I would share a preview of how the cover (still under construction), table of contents, and index look.

Preview of compiled templates

I kept the templates that were updated from 1st to 2nd Edition in, but removed the ones that were not updated and will be doing a second compilation of the 1st Edition templates

*EDIT*
I will also be adding a forward page before the Table of Contents with information like thank you to Whill, and the creators of the resources I drew from, I just had not got that in place yet

And I need to figure out a good image for the cover

For H&R, do you think straight alphabetical for all templates is better than keeping the book's original three categories? I personally like how Imperial, Rebel, and Independent templates are separated (and alphabetical within each category). That is one of the only template-focused books in the entire line so the compilation will have most of the book in it. That book is like more than three books worth of templates - The Independent category alone has more templates than any other book. I think it is best to keep that one's three categories distinct for the compilation.

I noticed you're missing all the Swoop Gang templates. I am in the middle of transitioning from one computer to another, but I accessed a templates list I made a long time ago. Here ya go.

I think I will break H&R into the categories as that will allow for cleaner sorting (and might make the table of contents look a bit cleaner)

I will get more templates added, I only have a few transferred over right now so it wont take too long to change things as needed. I need to reupload my spreadsheet since I went through and added a set of workbooks to handle setting up a 1st edition templates compilation.

I will probably also Change the numbering where Brash Pilot 2 appears in the R&E as that was the more recent and blue vader is older

Finished the restructure adding the missing from the list you provided (though some I did not see in the revised gm screen so those didnt get added) and have uploaded an updated preview file. The link in the previous post will bring you to the updated preview.

Im also looking how my sheet templates are working and looking to change the stat/skill blocks so I can set them to better match character templates. It will also reduce how many text boxes Im using considerably which should make the document preform better in InDesign, even with an i7 8700K running 32gb of RAM it gets a bit iffy working in the document

Only saw this thread the other day, but I wanted to say that this is an excellent project. Discovering new templates and template types was always one of the great joys of getting various WEG books.

To see such a professional-looking endeavor is really heartening. I hope it continues to go well.

You and Whill seem to have pretty thoroughly covered the bases here, but if by some coincidence I happen upon mysterious heretofore unknown template, will definitely send it your way.

Thank you for doing this, and to quote our beloved Chancellor Palpatine, we shall watch your career with great interest.

Sorry I have been quiet, I'm rethinking how to do this to make it easier. It will affect the fonts slightly but I think if I export everything as aall blank character sheets with fillable fields and just the character images in place it will be less taxing on my system (I design started crashing)

Welcome back, Dinger. Thanks for the update.

I have a couple of questions about resources and where I can upload them, if that is even possible.

I re-created the "Star Wars Rules Upgrade" insert (it looks almost identical) and was looking for a place to share it. I know I could have just used the scans but I wanted a better quality print.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Pit, for starters.

This subject is probably better suited to the Library of Fan-Made Supplements topic. I look forward to seeing what you've done.

Thank you! I will move my question over to that topic.
