Cross-posting now that we have a Resources thread.
I have expanded the official TNG Character sheet into 2 pages, and am working on the other era sheets.
All background info has been moved to the second sheet and some more relevant info added to the top of the first sheet.
Feel free to share, and any advice/requests/criticism is welcome.
Note, these are all also fillable PDFs.
TNG Support Characters Sheet 1.2
Initial release - 2 new support characters per page - with creation references - not form fillable.
UPDATED second character moved down so you can fold the page in half cleanly.
UPDATE minor fixes TNG 2 Support Characters Sheet
That would actually be pretty clever. But Iād settle for appropriately themed Character and Ship sheets.
Some years back now, when IDW was first doing their āBlood Will Tellā mini-series, I picked up several copies of the first book in tlhIngan Hol. Itās a pretty nifty keepsake.
Neither here nor there, but thinking of a Character Sheet translated into Klingon made me smile, and reminded me of the comics.
I mentioned in another forum post that I was planning on āadjustingā the character sheets provided through STA for both the characters and shipsā¦ I decided to get off my backside and do it, and just finished the main character sheet edit. I consider it a small edit, butā¦ others might not. LOL
Anyway, here it is for if anyone wants it, and alsoā¦ please feel free to provide constructive criticism. I didnāt really add anything new, just moved and resized what was already there.
Looks like it should give you some more space that you were after. It bugs me that the right hand alignment isnāt consistent, but thatās cosmetic.
If I remember your comment on the other thread, one of the things you wanted was more space for talent info? Do you really need the other equipment section? It doesnāt carry statistics, and having your players explicitly state what they are taking is useful when you get to applying opportunity spends. Removing that would give you a lot more space to note down the details of the meatier talents (although I just print the descriptions on the back of my sheet).
Hmmā¦ That is actually a good idea. I can correct the alignment issue by adjusting the stress boxes to three rows instead of two, lengthen the injury section back up closer to how it was (I had resized it), then remove all but 2 lines for equipment, and add more lines for Talents. Let me do that, and work on the ship sheet, and then I will post both here.
@LucasCunningham
I understand why you would like those sections, and even wish that they were included as well. However, my main goal for this modification was to provide my group with a starting character sheet that had more space for Talents and basic descriptions along with another weapon spot to allow them to have all 3 phaser types listed and unarmed, or 2 phaser types with unarmed and Nerve Pinch. (Or any combination of 4 weaponsā¦)
I would suggest pairing my sheet (if you like the way it is) with the second sheet of the TNG 2-page sheet. It is linked above, and here:
I will most likely be printing that second page onto the back of mine, unless I feel like modifying the second sheet to better fit with mine. Actually, I probably will at some point remake the sheet and add a second ābackā sheet to it. But for now, this is what I put together.
As I post this, I would like to credit the people at Tabletop Review who created the 2-page sheet linked above. I made the 2nd page of my sheet based off of theirs. All I really did was rearrange a little and adjust the sizes. I also made the sheet form-fillable.
Just for the sake of even more options, here is the modified sheet Iāve been using which was based on the older sheets (the ones without the stats stretched into long rows). The main differences I have from the base back then are:
Tab order / alignment adjustments.
Stress boxes are checkable.
Form slots for inserting images in those big empty LCARs color blocks on the left of page 1 (some people like having a character image there).
Text regions on page 2 are single large areas of multi line resizing text rather then being broken up into individual lines (for people who want to squeeze in a small epic story or something).
Role from the old sheet is renamed Reputation since Role and Assignment were basically redundant.
UPDATE: After looking over some of the other recent sheets here, I ended up decreasing the size of the Equipment / Injuries sections (Star Trek usually isnāt know for a lot of either so I was able to expand the Talents across the width of the page without moving much else. It isnāt reflected in the sample picture though.
