Custom character sheet for Moleskine notebooks

[sonoblaise]

Hi everybody,

I just joined the forum because I think that my first creation is worth showing. I started playing BF with my girlfriend's 9 year old daughter and I wanted something fancier than a single sheet of paper, no matter how cute the design was.

So I bought a bunch of Moleskin squared notebooks (9cm x 14cm) on Amazon for 10$ and made that 9 page (it's a lot, but the pages are small) design. You can print it, 3 pages at a time, on a regular US Letter sheet, cut them by following the frames and glue them to the notebook pages. The cover of the notebooks I got is brownish so you can write the player's name on the cover and use it to draw the portrait of your character (I actually found a pretty picture of a woman mage on google, and printed it with her name on top of it because she didn't know what a woman mage looked like, her only references being Dumbledore and Gandalf...)

One good thing about the small pages is that you can use only the pieces you need (no need to put the Thief Abilities or the Turn Undead sections if you're not a cleric or a thief, obviously). You can also order them as you see fit. Finally, all the sections like the Equipment, Weapons, Armors and Spells are only headers, so you can glue them to the top of a page and leave as many pages as you like for the player to fill. I put a "Notes" section to put at the middle of the notebook: the last pages are detachable, so useless notes can be removed as the player see's fit.

Everything was made with OpenOffice and the font used is called Xiomara, freely available on the internet.

Here is a link to the Moleskine notebooks I ordered.

Thats pretty cool. I think the simplicity and ease of use would help to reduce the potential for overwhelming a young player.

I love it.. very simple to find what you are looking for..and I bet it looks cool all printed out...

It look really nice!
I like that you can print only the pages you need for your character.

I think it's a cool idea to use a notebook for each player, and their characters.
Though I'd skip the print-out, and write myself. But that's just me.

Thank you, for sharing another usable idea for keeping track of our player characters! (Is there any other system with greater variety of usable character sheets? I wonder...)
