[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5006299, member: 52734"] I started with lined sheets of paper and a ruler; got to where I was "photocopying" up to 30 sheets a minute for the D&D game (I used to write up tons of NPCs or replacement characters for the game in batches). That was back about 81-83. My next step up was getting an electric (brother) typewriter and making sheets on onion paper. That didn't last long because I luckily found a place that sold Armory "Revised" (i.e., 2E) character sheets. It was cheaper and easier to buy the packs of character sheets than to photocopy them at that time. Later, I got my first non TRS-80 computer in '90 and started making my own character sheets, until PDFs eventually replaced making sheets. On a side note, I'd been in drafting since about '86 and had long ago made a 1" hex map template that I would draw my campaign maps on - 3 feet by 5 feet monsters on vellum paper, inked in by hand and then colored in with colored pencil and/or water colors. They'd take several 8-hour days of work, something I can now spit out in campaign cartorapher with a couple hours (or less) of play. [/QUOTE]
