They're gorgeous, but in actual play I routinely found such character sheets a hassle to use.

They often short change space that gets heavy use, or extensive lists. They often grant large white space to unusual things, ones that are often rarely touched (see: Language space in this topic's first example). They run up your printer ink bill, or don't come out well unless on high quality paper. The beautiful art bleeds into visual discernment, so things often end up hidden amid things vying for your attention in the middle of play. Beautiful fonts being more visual than useful. Et cetera.

I found these are better for finished character sheets. You know the ones where the retired (or beloved dead) PC gets a full, clean sheet with inked final tallies. And then you have to find a calligrapher, or someone with half-decent handwriting...
:rolleyes:

They're beautiful, but it's more finished product land for me than utility. Near photo quality with a good calligrapher (maybe framed?) might be a nice gift for a grognard and some of their old, retired PCs, though.

In actual play, I tend to use index cards. These are more like rpg inspirational art. I could see a very well designed character sheet being used as an advertisement for a game.

Numenara, I think.  It might be The Strange, but it's one of the two.

Quote from: tuypo1;818021oh god those fonts i think that says breath but i really cant be sure

Yeah, all-caps Blackletter is really not good typography. Change It To Initial Caps Only and it'd be way easier to read.

Wow. Great eye candy.

Quote from: tuypo1;818027... you find yourself writing unreadable shit that rivals old captchas

Yeah, that'd be totes terriblé if that were ever to happen to anyone.

That new choice of font is strange, because when Tony DiTerlizzi sold print packs of those character sheets at his booth in the artist alley at GenCon (Milwaukee) they had a different font:

Odd.

Edit: Apparently it's quite happy with such a short post if you use an uppercase letter and punctuation.

Numenera.

Edit: Ah, the images from the first page stretched the page. I didn't realize this thread was more than one page and already answered.

Is that irony? Its...something. And it amuses me.

Maybe they're not the final designs. i have to say though, I had no trouble whatsoever reading them.

I generally strongly prefer functionality to artistic merit when it comes a character sheet.   Some of the ones shown here are both, but a few seem to be awkward in terms of actual utility just to look nice.

But anyways here's a link to the Arrows of Indra character sheet, which I think is pretty snazzy.

The Eoris sheet is pretty funky.
