Most common RPGs of today?

[Koloth]

Not much to add on the popular lists. But if the goal is guidance on what character sheets to make, see what is already available for systems before starting.
SJG offers The Character Assistant for GURPS that is pay once with forever updates. Currently $16.
PCGen supports many systems that came out prior to about 8 years ago. The prime developers retired after many years and no one took up the challenge of continuing. Free.
We were using something free for our Lancer game a year or so ago.
Probably many others.

This is a good list, but Old School Essentials (as distinct from just the cloud of OSR games) is worth including, since it's the 800 pound gorilla in the OSR space, closely followed by Shadowdark now. Mothership is also pretty huge nowadays.

If you're interested in making character sheets, @neceros, both Pirate Borg and Mork Borg have very stylized character sheets that were probably fun for the creators to draw but are actually pretty mediocre for actual play. Both games would definitely have an eager audience for cleaner sheets.

On the other hand, Mothership is very popular, but its character sheet is held up as the design everyone else ought to emulate going forward, so there's probably not a lot of demand for a new sheet there.

Hello

Here is a Pirate Borg character sheet. The book and default sheet are rather difficult to read, and I've never played this before, so I'm hoping everything works well. If not please let me know how it could be better.
