For those times when you rub a hole in the Hit Point area . Certainly not for TPKs.Bring a spare blank character sheet to the game session with you.
I misread that, and was wondering why the sheet needed to be square.Bring a spare blank character sheet to the game session with you.
I'm the other way around. I wish I could ban digital devices at the table.Nope, just venting my frustration with people's lack of willingness to go digital.
I can't ban digital devices at the table as various key elements of my game rules (e.g. spell write-ups, setting maps, game logs, etc.) are online now. But I still insist on paper character sheets.I'm the other way around. I wish I could ban digital devices at the table.
It seems that three quarters of every turn is scrolling on the smartphone or tablet. I also look around the tables I play at and always see at least one screen showing a game or social media site.
Same here. I've been chastised & ridiculed by people in another thread a few years back to the point they said this was ridiculous, but to go one step further, regardless of what RPG we are playing if I'm DMing I try and get agreement from the group to use a one specific main character sheet. It doesn't always work but when it does it. allows me as a DM to help direct players where to find things, instead of 3-5 people trying to find the same piece of information in 5 different spots. After that they are free to use whatever auxiliary sheets for feat descriptions, spells, etc. Works for us.But I still insist on paper character sheets.
I did this for a 1-shot with some scouts. I circles things like AC and HP with different colored highlighters so when I asked what their AC was, I could also say in the green box. I guess this could work with different sheets as well just keeping the same code with the highlighters.Same here.

I suppose it could but as our group plays every other week in theory, we usually cancel a session here and there so it just makes things easier for us as at this point in our lives we're all casual gamers and no one pours over the rules like we used to when we were younger. I like the idea of everyone being on the same page.I guess this could work with different sheets as well just keeping the same code with the highlighters.
