First Post: D&D 5th Edition Character Sheets

I've spent years designing character sheets for various RPG's that only a handful of people have ever seen or used.  It is time to share them.  I also love drawing character sketches and have drawn HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS.  It's time to share some of them too.  This is an experiment, as I have never blogged before, so please bare with...

Nothing is more fundamental to a Role-Playing Game than the character sheet.  Very rarely, if ever, do I see a character sheet for a published game and not want to tweak or completely redesign it.  I know hard work was put into many of them, and some are beautiful, but how many are practical and user friendly?  Subjective I suppose.  For me a character sheet must be eye-catching, practical, and atmospheric.

Over the course of time I will be posting Character Sheets for the following games:  D&D 5E, Pathfinder 1E, Dark Heresy, Mongoose Traveller 1E and 2E, Cyberpunk 2020, Symbaroum, Numemera, Savage Worlds, Palladium Games, Mutants & Masterminds, Anima, Iron Kingdoms, Lamentations of the Flame Princess,  and others.  Many of these have multiple versions (especially Traveller -- at least a dozen.)

Let's start with the most popular game out there...

This is my standard version for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.






Below is the Spell Sheet.







Here is a link to both files combined.




And here's one of my character sketches.




That does it for now.

  1. Be great if there was a single file (that I don't need to make) that is front/back for the character sheet.

    1. Thanks for the input. I have so many of these files that are separate from each other that were never intended for public consumption. As I do this I will try to make it more convenient. Learning as I go. Once again, Thanks.

Playtesting the System... And Then, Autarch

You can get carried away with writing rules, it's very exciting when you're locked in, but at some point you need to stop... and see...
