One more trip down memory lane. Here's a pdf of my first word processor created character sheet. I can't believe I had a blank one. These pages are still attached to each other.
I've seen a couple of character sheets that use mono spaced fonts for a typewriter look, but this could be a cool sheet design, too, especially for a 1980s setting.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
That takes me back. Visceral nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteNeed to find a dot matrix mono-spaced font.
ReplyDeleteI got surprisingly good at using AppleWorks and an ImageWriter II to make these sorts of character sheets.
ReplyDeleteThis was on DOS, and the program was Lotus I think.
