Many of the sheets say "roll defense pool".  Defense pool isn't really covered on your sheets, but has enough options that it maybe should get it's own sheet.

I mostly left it out because the sheets are designed for a player, and I reckoned the GM would know how to do defense. However, you raise an excellent point: the players, even the newbies, are going to get shot at. I have added it to my ToDo list.
Aaron
A few bits of news:
  1. I'm not doing a modifiers sheet after all. Support FanPro; pony up and buy the GM screen.
  2. I've finished a Vehicle and Drone Record Sheet. It's in the cheat sheets on my Resources Page.
  3. At some point, I'm going to split up the single mega-file that is the cheat sheets, so you have the option of downloading one or two, or the whole thing in a single file.
  4. A Defense Sheet is next on the ToDo list, unless you live outside of North America, in which case I am working on a Defence Sheet.


Enjoy!

Funny you should mention that. I've been playing with a modular character sheet design for some friends. I imagine it's safe to say that if they don't suck, I'll post it when I'm done.

Also, I seem to recall two or three sheets other people have made, but I'm not sure where those are.
Aaron
The Cheat Sheets on my Shadowrun Resources page now feature single-page downloads. Have at 'em.

the vehicle record sheet link is broken.
hobgoblin
i have a feel that the vehicle sheet part will cover most of my problems. but as i dont have a printer that can be set to print black&white prints of color pdfs (or anything else color for that matter), a simple black&white char sheet (modular sounds nice as one can then have bigger spell lists for spellcasters and so on) would be very satisfying smile.gif

That's because I had a brief case of stupid.

It's fixed, now.
hobgoblin
heh, i think ill grab the individual files, it makes it simpler to print the sheet i want compared to the big one.

btw: while i have not checked the last version of the big file, i notice that a lot of the images used are flipped upside down...

edit: never mind, looks like its fixed in the latest version wink.gif

I love your sheets. I have two requests:

1. a sheet of condition monitors.

2. a sheet for keeping track of contacts.

Thanks!
hobgoblin
hmm, yes. a npc/grunt sheet would be nice (a single damage track as the basics of skills and stats).

You're the only one who has reported that, hob. I never had that problem, and I tested it with several machines.

Has anybody else had this problem?

1. Yeah, that's probably going up soonish. I'm running a game Real Soon, and I was just thinking how useful that would be.

2. I like how you think. Contact sheet added to the ToDo list.

The site: Shadowrun Resources

The update: Grunt/NPC record sheet.

Up next: Defense cheat sheets.
James McMurray
Woot!

You are awesome! Much thanks! smile.gif

I've added the beginnings of a modular character sheet to my Shadowrun Resources page. It's just the first page for now, but I'll be adding more later.

I'm still working on the defense cheat sheet.

For those who just tuned in, here's a list of what's there already (encased in a spoiler so as not to bore the people who already know this).

One thing I've found very useful in the past is having lists of all free, simple and complex actions possible handy for the players. The GM can mostly help them through procedures, but they need to know their options most of all. I'm just going to print the table in the back of the book, but if I was making cheat sheets for different parts of the rules; I would have a list of actions on there too. Just a thought.

Good job Aaron, and good luck with the rest of that character sheet. smile.gif
hobgoblin
check the unoffical GM screen. one of the pages there is a complete list of actions.

Adding a list of actions is a great idea, but if it's already available from FanPro, I'm not going to offer it. Support FanPro; pony up and buy it.

[Disclaimer: I haven't bought the GM screen, but in my defense, I'm waiting for it to come out in print.]
hobgoblin
sadly im unlikely to pick up a gm screen from fanpro (unless they pull the same stunt that fasa did with 3ed, packaging a monster book with it).

im more likely to pick gear books and similar...

I'm going to grab it for the contacts, mostly. It's nice to have a bunch of pre-generated stats for just about anybody the runners may meet.
hobgoblin
most of them will be variants of the ones in the main book most of the time...

SR GM screen 4 will come with its own version of Critters/Contacts/Enemies book. I plan to get it when ever it comes out.
hobgoblin
hmm, so there will be critters in there to? maybe ill get it then, alltho my priority is the "gear" books.

the interesting thing is that often, the best enemy is fellow humans...
jklst14
I have the PDF and there aren't any critters with the PDF version. The included book is about 1/2 contacts and 1/2 adventure ideas with the SR3 to SR4 conversion rules added at the end.
Aaron

Oh, sure, it's relatively easy to come up with contacts and such on one's own. I just hate to duplicate effort (which is to say, I'm lazy =).

I've created a new Shadowrun Resources page for tools and stuff I've done up for Shadowrun (specifically Fourth Edition). Right now the only thing on there is my hacker cards, but it's a start. I'm doing up some cheat sheets for some fellow players, and I'll probably put those up, too.

Damnit all, I can't get the PDF of the Hacker cards to display. Someone will have to save a copy & send it to me. Contact me by PM if you can & we'll e-mail.

UPDATE: Thanks, Aaron. Got the file & the cards look good.
Aaron
I've been busy preparing my events for Gen Con, but I've set aside some time for the cheat sheets, and I've added defense to my Shadowrun Resources page.
Aaron
There's more stuff on my Shadowrun Resources page:
  • A separate listing for the Grunts record sheet.
  • BnF95's cyberware and bioware spreadsheet (hosted by request).
  • Links to ismodred's character sheet, character dossier, and combat scratch pad (linked by request).

My ToDo list is down to a Banishing Cheat Sheet, a Contact Record Sheet, and of course the remainder of my modular character sheet design. I'll work on these soonish, but the first order of business is a sausage and green bean pizza.
masterpenguin
Mr Aaron, I found your site randomly online, and then this thread, thanks for all your efforts I've found them simple and informative.
Aaron
Banishing is up.

Shadowrun Resources (for those of you who can't find the link)
Aaron
While prepping for the a game I'm running tonight, it occurred to me that I could use a sheet for keeping track of NPCs, what the book calls "Prime Runners." So I made one, and now I'm sharing.

You can find it at my Shadowrun Resources page, now featuring legal disclaimers.

Let me know if there's anything else I can add to the NPC sheet, or if there is anything else you'd like to see on that page.

FYI, some of the links are broken.

The character sheets, for one.

Why does the Node Record Sheet have a Node Damage Track? You can't damage a node, you can only crash it. Is it the Spider's Persona Track? His Condition Monitor?
Aaron

Yeah, that's for a spider who is using the node, or more specifically for her icon. The damage track in the spider's section is for when you thump her with a Black* program.
Samaels Ghost
AH HA!!! Thank you. That name confused me....

i take it the 8+(system/2) under the spider damage track was just you being lazy and copying the damage track you have used everywhere else...

still, isnt there a chance that said spider would be under attack from blackout as well as black hammer? oh wait, he will propably be a unimportant npc and therefor get a combined damage track wink.gif

Mwr? Crap. I'll fix that when it's not 04:00.

Got it in one, omae.

The cheat sheets on my Shadowrun Resources page has been updated to include a four-page spirit reference guide. The first two pages contain stat info on the ten PC spirit types, and the last two pages are the same stats for hermetic and shamanic traditions individually.

Still working on the critter conversion.
