I made my gear section like that because it's really way too small. This way you can squeeze in a lot more than if there was columns. You will still propably have to get a blank sheet for most of your gear and your charactrer's history. On Mute's site there's a larger sheet with a lot more functionality. Mine is designed to be simple and mostly just look better than the official one.

Currently working on one. Attempting to see if I can link it with the Excel Character SR4 Generator.

In it's current form, it automatically calculates base dice pools for skills, base initiative, and figures racial mods for attributes. Not "pretty" looking but definitely useful.

So, I made some Character Sheets myself (as I ALWAYS do, whatever the game is), and my players seem to enjoy. It is version 4.0, but they are now starting to be stressed in space and funcionality. So... as I don´t have any space online to host it, could anyone (if interested) do it for me? They are greatly influenced by Mintcar´s sheets, but lighter (although I loved the black space in his sheets, they aren´t ink-saving).

The official ones are really bad. There is no room for nothing on them. ;)

Of course, it's not easy to make a sheet, that has enough room for any (reasonable) character and still fits on one page (or even two).

I just use Word to write up the stats and stuff. No real sheet. Everything fits neatly on two pages that way, no wasted space and there's enough room where it is needed; I print both pages next to each other on one page (scaled to 50% and rotated 90°). Character sheet done! :)

Nothing against those sheets, but they (both versions) do not fulfill the criteria on two points (they don't fit on a page or two and there isn't enough room for everything even a starting character can reasonably have (way too little room for implants, especially... eyes and ears alone can fill up space rather quickly)).

Also the various parts do not seem to be organized well on the smaller sheet, if you have a magician, you have spells here, spirits there, foci elsewhere. And why is there so much room for adept powers? That seems a little excessive (for a change ;)).

The bigger sheet is better on that behalf, but it's nine (!) pages long. And there are still some problem areas, like identities and licenses (licenses are per identity, you cannot place them seperate like this; also you need a lot more room for licenses than for identities). The 'personal data' and 'various statistics' part on the first page could need some additional work, i.e. Metatype and Sex is a bit more important data, than to be hidden like that. And why is 'Name' not written in Caps? Looks a bit out of place there.

[/hopefully constructive criticism] :)

Now, those are just some minor issues, which are easily taken care of. The hard part begins, when you want to fit all the space required for every basic archetype on a single sheet of paper! :D

This could work: One front page with all important data, that every character needs plus one tailored back page chosen out of a few options (one for street samurais, one for adepts, one for magicians, one for technomancers/hackers, one for riggers, etc).

fixed the defense error while i was at it.
so new updates on both char sheets
1.5.3 on Short Sheet (fixed defense error, moved magic stuff together)
2.1 on the Dossier (fixed name, fixed defense error, made an implant page with paper doll)

QUOTE

they don't fit on a page or two

true and the shear amount of information on SR characters will alway prohibit that unless we write really really really tiny

QUOTE

way too little room for implants, especially... eyes and ears alone can fill up space rather quickly

Check out the revised character Dossier page 10

QUOTE

Also the various parts do not seem to be organized well on the smaller sheet, if you have a magician, you have spells here, spirits there, foci elsewhere.

fixed

QUOTE

And why is there so much room for adept powers?

you can have many powers

QUOTE

i disagree you don't have to look up your metatype or sex you know what it is, its just one of those things you remember.

hmm no answer there so i fixed it

yeah it is, though i must admit i read the first paragraph and closed the window and waited 4 days before coming back to re-read i knew for sure you were a troll :)

I love them, but non-fillable doesn't work too well for an online based campaign, and I'm pretty Acrobat challenged beyond printing & filling out. :P
