 |
|
A while ago, I found the following example of a custom designed character sheet: https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/c21brj/swtorinspired_character_sheet_for_tabletop_d6_rpg/.
I loved it so much, I recreated it from scratch and use it for all my and my players' character sheets. I also used the same style to develop Starship Sheets as well (like the one I posted for my Intersector Sloop Quantum Stalker.
Has anyone else seen or designed an interesting Star Wars character sheet? |

Glad you found something you like and recreated it for your use. I don't get the luxury of actively having a favorite because my game system includes some revisions which require a custom character sheet. But I'll tell you what I don't like. I'm not blind but I don't like tiny print on these things. I don't like trying to cram all that info into a single page, so I don't...

I made a character sheet in Word for my game, but it is not flashy or stylish so I am guessing it would not qualify as interesting. It is functional. But it does use the fonts from the R&E book so there is that.
It is actually a 4-page portfolio (2 sheets, both front and back). Page 1 is a Character Development Worksheet à la Heroes & Rogues and Platt's Smuggler's Guide. Page 2 is an image, plus gender/species, age, height, mass, handedness, physical description, background, connection with other, characters, personality, objectives, quotes, weapons, equipment, personal items, and credits. Page 3 is the core: the attributes and skills, caliber, initiative, move, wound status, stun accumulation, damage resistance, strength damage, skill points, character points, fate points, dark side points, language fluencies, advantages, and special abilities. Page 4 is open for player notes. Page 2 and 3 are normally face up during play, but each can be flipped over to see the other sides when needed.
When 2e began, one thing I really missed about the 1e character sheets was all the skills being pre-listed on the character sheets. My game system has reduced the number of skills from 2e, but there are still too many to list them all on one page (without reducing the font size too much). So I compromised by categorizing skills into two types: character sheet skills and other skills. The most common skills are on the character sheet, but there is room to add skills from the other list as each characters learn them. I feel that the common skills being pre-listed is important for new players to have reminders of the different kinds of things the character can do, and reminders of which skills are under which attributes, especially for the 'attribute defaulting' of skills that haven't been improved.

| Can you verify the fonts used in the WEG books? |

Dr. Bidlo, you might want to have a gander at my Public Star Wars Stuff folder in my GoogleDocs. The D6 SWU Campaign Aids Folder has a few D6 Star Wars fillable sheets for characters, vehicles, and starships that you might find useful. Not to mention quite a few other SWD6 trivia tidbits that you may or may not have any interest in. Feel free to root around where you can in my GoogleDocs folder with my link in my signature. If you have any questions, just reply back here on this thread.
In addition, I had my friend Mr. Gone design a fillable BoSS Spacers Information sheet copied from Platt's Smuggling Guide. Here's a copy of the BoSS sheet I made for my smuggler character Jolmar Bulth. And here's a copy of the sheet I made for his YT-1930 light freighter, the Winning Argument.

| Sutehp, those are great fillable forms and are definitely true to form. Thanks for sharing. |
