New Character Sheet - TreChriron

Available in the download section of my website (link in sig). Wanted to spell things out and reduce the number of abbreviations hoping to make it less intimidating. :-D Also includes a Tests & Defenses section to pre-calculate various tests with a "vs. Social" area for the opposed roll calculation versus social skills. Let me know what you think! Any errors to correct or suggestions are welcome. Now to work on the landscape GM screen... :-D

ah ben c'est génial, ça! Tu pourrais soumettre la feuille à Nyvak, pour son programme Elle est vraiment très claire, et lui faciliterait le travail je pense! En tout cas, chapeau bas pour cette excel-lente fiche (je sais, il est nul, mon jeu de mot!)

Re: New Character Sheet - TreChriron

sweet! thanks! I'm thinking about making an application with the Acces-like in Open Office, but i suck at it the idea is to make a compendium. On this planet/moon/habitat, you have these factions, these hypercorps. each hypercorp listed with their industries, each faction with their memes so you could do a search you want a morph, this company make them, and they're on that planet, habitat, moon you're going to Extropia? it's this type of habitat, these factions run the show etc...

Form fill-able means the fields will be made so you can type into them. Using the Adobe Acrobat Pro to turn the sheet into a form. Personally, my handwriting is horrible, so I prefer to type. :-D

Re: New Character Sheet - TreChriron

Well, we tried this sheet out this last weekend and... we hate it. :-D The font is too small!! Hard to write on it. I am also worried about the ease of changing morphs and IDs. So, I am redesigning it. About 75% complete. It uses a landscape format and has places to swap out 3" x 5" cards for IDs and Morphs. My hope is to hack up a data file for Hero Lab that will then export to this sheet. More research needed, but it's my goal. Hero Lab is sexy fast awesome character generation, so I am hoping it's not to hard to use the system designer in it. Quincey, Did you get a change to discuss the skill name changes I proposed for the French sheet? Can I make a cheat sheet for the latest version and have you punch in the desired translations?

Re: New Character Sheet - TreChriron

I've checked the unofficial translating crew's working LaTex file, and while there are the terms I've already sent you, I don't have a solid "approved" translation for the other terms What I suggest is that you work on the the english version of a workable and playable character sheet, and leave the french for a bit later on the 19th of this month, I'm heading South-West and across the Ocean to San Diego for the Comic Con so while I'm told I'll have a computer at disposal while staying at my friends' place and my hardcover EP book with me, I won't be able to work on the translation for either the book or the sheet

Re: New Character Sheet - TreChriron

New Version 2! - Available on my website in the downloads section! A new three-page landscape format Eclipse Phase Character Sheet! Easier to read and easier to fill out! This character sheet is tailored for the Eclipse Phase experience. The first page should be printed on one page and contains two blank areas to place 3" x 5" cards; one for the current ID in use, and one for the current Morph in use. Pages two and three can be printed back to back, acting as a quick reference for skills and gear. Finally, supplemental pages contain cutouts for formatted 3" x 5" cards to use for various IDs, Morphs and Muses. As IDs and Morphs change, the player can update the summary section on the first page for quick reference of most rolls and combat information. The ID and Morph cards can be held on the first page with paper clips. The PDF contains layers so you can hide the background, "place-mat" lines, cutout lines, or the lines in the Gear section.

Re: New Character Sheet - TreChriron

Great job! there should be room for the background of the character (I don't mean the rules' background, but the history of the character) on the morph card, you write the bonus or the "finished product"? btw, what's the size of the font you used? the previous sheet's font size was WAY too small did you use the sheet yet?

Re: New Character Sheet - TreChriron

Colin - Yes! I will fix that. Thanks! Quincey - I usually keep background on a word document write up. More room and more detail. I will look at where I could fit that however. You should just list the bonus on the Morph card. Write the "baseline" Aptitudes in your Ego section. Then the top box is your current and derived numbers. When you switch out a card, just modify the reference section. Hopefully this will make switching stuff easier! The v1 sheet used font size 8 or 9. We tried using it and it was HORRIBLE!! :-D That's why I created version 2. I wanted it to be easier to read, easier to use, and make switching out IDs and Morphs easier. We are play-testing v2 sheet today. More to follow. I will fix the ^%$ typo first. :-D

Re: New Character Sheet - TreChriron

Re: New Character Sheet - TreChriron

Quincey, I will email it to you tonight. I agree that pre-mades are best for the first time (character creation in EP is not fast). The intro adventure with the 4 pre-gens is straight forward and there is less stuff on the sheet. Worth checking out. I printed out the templates from the book in color on card stock. Drew lots of of onlookers to the table! :-D

Updated the sheet on my website! Emailed to Quincey. :-D Also, I owe you a scanned version, which I will do ASAP. My players didn't completely use the new sheet, and one was not finished with his character, so I am making a character (just because) and will use my sheet to do it. Maybe some pictures to add to the download page?

Re: New Character Sheet - TreChriron

I love your v2 character sheet. As a recommendation though, I would change the labels of the cards on the last page. I think they should say "AI Stat Card" rather than "Muse Stat Card". Every muse is an AI, but not every AI is a muse... and PCs may make use of AI that aren't muses. Hell, I'd imagine that the largest majority is going to only have one muse anyways.

Not really. You can use an infomorph like you would a muse and have it act as an assistant... but a muse is a specific type of AI. Think of it like this: tutorial software can teach you something, but so can a teacher. That doesn't mean that a person who happens to be a teacher is also tutorial software.
