Morgan! This is excellent, and you are in good company, as Rich Franks is going to run an AS&SH game, too, and I am going to run at least two AS&SH events and one AD&D event. I might run a little of Tower of Gygax, too (which would also be AD&D). I think you'll find there are a lot of us here at ODD74 who have been running events at cons for years now, so if you need any suggestions on running an event, we are here for you! Thank you so much for doing this, Morgan!

Sounds good, Morgan. If this is your first con game, you might find this thread at K&KA interesting.

That was very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to point that out!

I would love some feedback from interested folks with the eye of a player!

This is the first page of a "Con" character sheet. I have stripped out detail that I thought would not be needed at a con and grouped the rest under the characteristic that makes the most sense.

I have added a test and feat for mental characteristics as I use this at home. If this is verboten Jeff let me know, from the stand point of representing your game at a con.

I have not included many bonuses on the sheet and will prefigure all that so they have one number to search for. Example FA (melee) will be one number of class plus strength and mastery bonus if any.

I have used a fighter background and stolen this from Ian Baggley. If this is bad let me know and I can credit him or just not use the image. I want to use an appropriate image for each character type hoping to advertise the great art within the game.

The second sheet will be gear, some "what can I do in a round" stuff, notes, description and background. The third sheet will be spells as needed.

Here is the second page for some character options and background and such.

Tweaked the first page as well.

Here is a shot of my 3.5" by 5" Character stand ups for the players to have in front of them. Artwork is Ian's and has been used with permission and accreditation.

I have reworked the Character Sheet to make it more user friendly and less busy looking. The Gear and spells etc will be on other pages where applicable. Thanks for any suggestions.

Man, your gear looks great. If it works out, I'll definitely sign up for your game.

[mabon5127]

Btw when I mentioned a busy char sheet I meant my first one not the one that comes with the game. Mine is for a con setting and really is too lite for a campaign.

I also used the name generator provided by Colin!

Wow, looks great, Morgan. Your pre-gens look better than anything I've ever done!

Come on, why don't you put some effort into it?






Kidding, your sheet and stand-ups look amazing! I hope scheduling works out and I'll be checking your stuff out first-hand.
