In The Grim Dark Future There Is Only War.

"Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war.  There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods."

It's a good time to be a Warhammer fan.  Three new games coming out:  Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition, Wrath & Glory, and Age of Sigmar.  I will eventually buy them all.  

Dark Heresy and the other Wathammer 40K games by Fantasy Flight Games rank among the best looking books in the RPG industry.  They took the setting seriously, the art was spectacular, and the character sheets were actually pretty good.  My goal as usual, if possible, was to fit everything on one page.  Without a doubt, one of the most complex character sheets I've designed.  Getting everything to fit on one page was a chore and evolved over many versions.  This character sheet might fill up if you play the same character for years, but this is Warhammer so don't count on it. 

This character sheet should be able to accommodate any game from Dark Heresy 1st Edition and Rogue Trader all the way through to Dark Heresy 2nd Edition.

Long live the God Emperor of Mankind!

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.

And here's one of my character sketches.

That does it for now.
