#1 Oraibi Feb 01, 2011 6:34:36	I spent some time updating the character folio for D&D Gamma World, based on my experience using the sheets in my Gamma World games. This version should be easier to use, although it doesn't have as many reference pieces for the players. Changes in the new version of the folio include: Moved all combat info to the back page (page 4) Separated ability scores and skills Character advancement (page 2) is more clear and updated for Legion of Gold vocations Made the character portrait box bigger (players in my games are required to draw their characters, even if they have no artistic skill -- especially if they have no artistic skill!) Added more space for recording Omega Tech between sessions, as well as more space for gear, ancient junk, mounts and vehicles, and wealth (including Famine in Far-Go scrip) Made the attacks/weapons fields easier to use Added links to download insert pages Removed all color and 3-d effects, but added a color banner at the top (I'll no longer be maintaining separate color and b/w versions of my character sheets) Download the Character Folio! Download the Origins Insert! Download the Armory Insert! The origins insert is for writing down your origins -- an alternative is to use battles14's origin half-sheets. The armory insert is for listing salvaged gear and additional weapons. I'm planning on putting the player reference sheet (primarily, the weapons data) from the old version of the character folio into a separate insert with reference on one side and house rules on the other. Maybe it will also have the appearance and personality fields too. Sometime in the future I'll also make an insert for vehicle stats.

I love the whole idea of the folio layout, so that its like a little booklet.  And I love the way its all organized.  I will most definitely be using this. Say...you don't happen to have created a folio-style sheet like this for *actual* DnD 4e, have you?  'Cause that would be amazing. But I need to shush now, before I stray wildly off-topic.  These are the Gamma World forums, after all. Again, I must heap buckets of kudos and boxes of thanks on you. You rock.
#3 Oraibi Feb 01, 2011 21:28:28	Nope, I haven't done any character sheets for 4e D&D -- the preponderance of programs that generate sheets made it kind of pointless before to make my own sheets. Glad you enjoy the GW sheets, though!
#4 mrcaptainpants Feb 01, 2011 21:55:06	Nope, I haven't done any character sheets for 4e D&D -- the preponderance of programs that generate sheets made it kind of pointless before to make my own sheets. Point taken.  I just haven't seen anything quite so compact and efficient, however.  I might have to take a stab at putting one together myself.  In any case, I just want to express my appreciation for your continued efforts to be of service to the GW community.  I always look forward to your posts. You often have something useful that you've created or found, but even when its "just" a post containing your thoughts on a given issue, its always a pleasure to read. Take care!

#7 soraku Feb 01, 2011 22:39:06	I totally Love your Sheets Oraibi. Have you considered combining the Origins sheet and Armory Sheet into one sheet. That way all that is needed is to fold the sheet in half to give you the Primary origin on page 1, the secondary on page 2 and the armory on pages 3 and 4. Would save the trouble of ripping the sheets in half. All you would have to to is print and fold. Just a thought.  Still a totally awesome sheet. I print the main folio on cardstock to give it a better feel than regular paper. More durable that way.
