Remember my (pretty awesome) hand-tooled character sheets for B/X D&D and Labyrinth Lord (available in three formats – landscape, folder and pocketmod)? Well, the inspiration struck home with Kiznit (the former webmaster of the Gelatinous Cubed blog and the creator of Old School Hack), and he created an awesome sheet for Goodman Games’ Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG based on mine!
I mean, seriously, check this bad-boy out!
Hand Tooled DCC Character Sheet (Click for PDF Download)
The only thing I would change, were it my own creation, would be to increase the contrast of just about everything to straight black-on-white. But they work wonderfully as-is and I’ll be using them for my upcoming run through the DCC system. These were designed for the level 0 starting characters, thus they are made to fit two copies on a sheet of paper (or if you write small, you could refit it to one per page, landscape format). Kiznit / KoboldStyle / Kirin also plans to craft some class-specific sheets.
But when you download the PDF you’ll notice page 2 – a set of torch and lantern cards. These are brilliant, and usable not just for the DCC RPG but for classic D&D and Labyrinth Lord too. These are at least as brilliant as the character sheet itself.
Lantern & Torch Cards
They are pretty lovely. And I can certainly use the lantern and torch cards 🙂
Smoooove…
Really nice, definitely cooler than the original! Dyson, have you had any chance to try the DCC beta rules? How do you feel about them? What about the artwork?
Haven’t had a chance to play yet. Will probably take them out for a spin in the next week or two.
That looks amazing!
I cant find the sense…. its just wasting paper… If torches only burn for some rounds, i make fucking lines on my noticeblock. i dont need a Special Card for this :D:D
but… its like using wad instead of toilet-paper… so LoL
It makes it a lot more tactile and immediate when you have those little boxes to check off instead of hash-marks on the side of another piece of paper. ALL the players become a lot more aware of the limited resource involved.
Also, having a dedicated time tracker for it reminds the DM to track time a bit more closely.
You can also put them in a standee and have them in front of the character who is holding them so it’s easy to see who has a lantern/torch and how much duration is left.
