GP Adventures Character Record Sheet (O/AD&D Compatible)

[Odhanan]

The GP Adventures Character Record Sheet is now available at our shop at http://www.gp-adventures.com/shop/gpa-character-record-sheet-1e-compatible/

"This Official GP Adventures Character Record Sheet is First Edition compatible, and will satisfy all the fans of Advanced-style role-playing games. Heavily inspired by the early record sheets doodled by Tom Wham for the Dungeon hobby shop in the 70s, this sheet is entirely hand-drawn by old school favorite artist Mark Allen. Customize your records with this handy PDF using a clever system of layers (reminiscent of the mad irishman’s creations, for those in the know), while still retaining this unique penciled look that makes the best handouts around the game table. Venture forth to adventure!"

Since it is first edition compatible, the sheet is ipso facto compatible with OD&D + Supplements games and other TSR versions of the game.

This PDF files uses layers, and should be viewed with a reader that supports them, such as Adobe Reader, which can be downloaded for free here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

These are very nicely done characters sheets. What does "PP" stand for under HP?

Thanks! Glad you like the sheet!

PP stand for Pivot Points, which are a resource specific to the Hobby Shop Dungeon. They share some traits with Joss from Mythus, but their use is really wide. These are points that allow you to get an heirloom to start the game, modify your stats before beginning play, survive a situation in game that should have mean certain death, those kinds of things. They are rare (1d4+2 at first level, with very rare situations in which you could theoretically gain some - it never happened while I played in Ernie's game - and only for your main character in your stable of PCs, or those characters the referee deem worth it), and kind of represent different concepts compounded together, like hit points, a sum of luck, fate, willpower, depending on particular situations in and out of the game.

You don't have to care for it if you don't want to use it, but it is briefly detailed (as I just did here) in the character sheet file, and will be fully discussed in the Hobby Shop Dungeon proper.
