Dear AL creators, 

 

     Is there any chance you could come up with a better AL tracking sheet for players.  
The one with 3 adventures per page seems like a waste of paper.  Could we get a 

more condensed version so we w'ont have to pay so much at the copier?

 

Thank You,

There is also a form-fillable version of the pdf on this site. I give all of my players a printed copy of the AL sheet for their first page and then encourage them to use the form-fillable pdf for extra pages, which can be stored on their phones if documentation is needed to be shown.

It's unclear from the ALPG if you actually have to use the official log sheet. I've seen alternate ones going around, and I suspect that if you included all the applicable information from the official sheet, it would likewise be legal.

 

Like ZHDarkstar, I use the form-fillable PDF version, but I also print it out and bring it with me.

I'm a database guy, so I recreated the official character sheet and logsheet as database forms. This made entry, updating and printing clean copies very easy. I can even send my DM a PDF of my character sheet with all my notes on it.

 

There are lots of things you could do without killing so many trees.

Macro,

 

Scan the existing page into a scanner/copier with a home computer attached.  Reduce/Enlarge by the most possible (25%?).  Print that.  Make 4 copies, cut out the copies, arrange them on an 8.5x11" space.  Copy THAT.  You now have a 12-episode log page that needs only a very sharp pencil and a magnifying glass   (or REALLY strong glasses) to fill out.

 

I would just make up my own form in Word, keeping the important information and omitting the white space.  Update electronically, print only when you think necessary.

You do not have to use the example logsheet posted on the site. You may use any format that has all the required data. I personnally use an Excel spreadsheet.
