Homebrew '82 Character Sheet

I'm making slow and steady progress on my Homebrew '82 old-school game variant. Here's a first draft of the one-page character sheet. 

You can click on the image to get the PDF from Google Docs, or you can go directly HERE.

The Rientsian influences are clear: a space for animal companions, and a nice big picture frame for a wacky character portrait.  I'm assuming that the second page is for stuff like the character's background, a list of hirelings and home-town NPC contacts, and the obligatory blank area for notes, but I'm not planning on presenting a formal version of that.

MC is Melee Class, which is a number that determines one's "row" in the to-hit chart. (For fighters, MC = level.  For other classes, it's a lower number than one's level.)  Eagle-eyed readers will notice that there's nowhere to list saving throws here... but in Homebrew '82 those are usually handled by Constitution ability score rolls, usually using an Xd6 roll-under system.

Please forgive the Futura overdose, but I'm pretty much not planning to use it at all in the Homebrew '82 core books. Might as well get it out of my system here...  :-)

One-page PDF for Contests of Skill

I've begun to experiment with using Google Docs to host PDF files. I've created a one-page PDF version of the Contests of Skill mini-game that I posted about here.  This thing seemed particularly well-suited for a more graphical display than a blog post will allow, so I had some fun with the formatting...


The link to the Google Docs page for this file (from which you can browse or download it), is HERE.
