E.g.I would, personally, put initiative on the same page as combat. Seems relevant to fights to me.  There seems to be a lot of background colour, which eats printer ink. I would struggle to tell players where to look on each page.It's certainly got a lot of great graphical design flourishes and as a piece of art it has its own aesthetic.The character sheet designed by Arms is not H&H, although I really like it.  However I find comments that it's too wordy and cramped to be curious.  Compared to? This character sheet? The OG sheets? The D&D sheets? smh   certainly I'm looking at a combined 200 downloads for the 2 Battle Ready Pre-gens I've put out which use it.  Which is nice. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😀" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" title="Grinning face    :grinning:" data-shortname=":grinning:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />The purpose of the sheet I helped to design was to:1. Make it possible to teach new players how to play A5e by having an easy to navigate form with a logical flow of information for common modes. 2. Highlight the inherent modalities of play and emphasise non-combat solutions as being on par with violent ones.3. Take up less space on a table and not require constant flipping back and forth searching for information. This process saw a lot of iterations and it isn't perfect, but I think that for my purposes, focused on teaching the game and pen and paper play, as described above, that it performs well. My practical experience of using the sheets to help the random drop-ins for the game of A5e I've been running has been that it does what I want - players who did not understand the game, progress to understanding the game and then to teaching newer players the rules, correctly (!).That is an unusual experience for me, and I'm pretty delighted with it, as I am focused on player empowerment through collaborative RAW play.TL;DR: I've said before, I'll doubtless say again,  character sheets are user interfaces. Expecting everyone to like the same user interface is an odd idea to me.  Use the ones you like best!</blockquote>
