Making a cheat sheet

Gadora · Ensign Joined: 12 Dec 2013 Posts: 25

I'm playing in a game soon and we ran a quick test scenario, just to make sure everyone had the basics down. It quickly became apparent that there were quite a few tables that we needed to keep flipping around to.

Anyhow, I would like to ask the much more experienced folk here as to what references you all think are most important to have handy for R&E.

The 2e book had a really handy reference page at the back of the book; the references would all be the same for R&E, with the exception of the scale rules.

Which charts are you on about? Damage charts? Skill difficulties for repairs?

Well, the GM thought we should do a quick "You're meeting a contact in a warehouse, but the Rodian's late. Suddenly, Stormtroopers!" thing so that we could make sure we had things down.

I know that the difficulty numbers need to go on this cheat sheet, as well as what range is what difficulty and the wound table.
Damage charts are a definite thing to include, I think.

Edit: Having dug out the book, the 2e Charts and Tables pages are pretty much what I wanted. Although... it looks like it's not just the scale, but also the command chart that was changed.

Yup.. The 2e to 2e Revised chart for combined actions did get changed..

The things that were on the first two pages of my cheat sheet were the difficulty numbers for Very Easy, Easy, Moderate, etc; character damage chart, starship damage chart, healing rolls, and scale modifiers. They just wound up being the things I had to look up the most when I was a newbie GM.

Looking for a good cheat sheet/GM screen then I offer up Hisham's freakin awesome contribution. The first page has everything you need for 95% of what you want to do in the game and it can be printed off on a single sheet of paper. LINK.

While those are great, I've found the simplest of documents to be what I need 95% of the time. It's a simple Player's Information Sheet that can be printed out on only two sheets of paper. I take mine and put them back to back in a hard plastic page holder, and reference it far more often than I do my rulebook, my GM screen, or any of my other 'cheat sheets'.

It worked for me, but it's weird trying to get it to work in this forum, try this:

Works now. What no Vehicle/Starships tables or movement mishaps?

Thanks for reposting the link, Ty. For whatever reason (some setting on these forums, I imagine), I wasn't able to make a normal link to it.

@Gadora: I didn't actually make it, it's something that was passed along to me by another player. Good catch on the Stun info, as I hadn't realized that was somebody's custom rules (fortunately I've never used it off this chart). I'll have to line that part out on my copy!

@SWR: I didn't make the chart, and it's a bit less comprehensive than the full GM screen. I find that it covers the vast majority of things you did in play, though, and the rules and/or GM screen can give you the rest pretty easily.
