What's OLD is NEW

This character took me about 5 minutes to create. He's a Spartan smuggler (ex-military) who likes cooking. This is still VERY early in development, though (and using my crappy MS Word character sheets).

Today's progress. Some tweaks to the underlying mathematics, and the experimental replacement of the bonus point allocation with a trait selection. Branmer is an ex-gangster who became a priest.

Character creation looks interesting. I like how the character sheet is also a character creation worksheet. And how the finished stats are very small.

Cheers!

For those interested in seeing how the medieval fantasy (O.L.D.) side of things is shaping up, here's Gimnor, a shy 32-year old dwarf assassin who loves animals.

I'm not sure the worksheet aspect will stay on the character sheet. It's on the front because I use it in development so much it saves flipping. But eventually, I'll have to decide whether to keep it there, move it to the back, or make it a separate sheet altogether.

Yeah, I could definitely see having all the abilities and contacts and gear and stuff up front. But it's kind of cool to have your life story there for you, if not necessarily all the modifiers.

Heck, yeah. I love being able to see where the character came from. Is he ex-military, a musician-turned-conman, a graduate from the wizard school?

The contacts section really ties into that, too. Each Rep bonus from a career adds a contact which can be used in-game. Those provide links back to your past.

I like that. It provides some inspiration for when and how you got that contact, which is always the problem I have with contact systems.

Cheers!

There's some professionally made character sheets on their way, but in the meantime this is the current prototype.
