Hey I'm hoping you folks can help me out. I'm looking for a Rules Cyclopedia/BECMI character sheet. I've found a couple on the intarweb. But none of them are quite what I'm looking for. (I'm probably just being picky ) Hoping you guys (or gals as the case may be) can point me in the right direction to find what I'm looking for.

How about this one?

Classic D&D Sheet (Right Click, Save As, 2 Mb)

This is the classic D&D sheet with the green background. You can take the green color off by looking at the PDF's layer and selecting what you don't want to see/print.

Mad Irishman's sheets are always great...here are the 2nd edition sheets.

Wow thats the one I remember from back in the day! I'm totally saving that. I'm looking for one that includes the to hit table and seperate sections for special abilities and spells. But that is a cool blast from the past.

Hey Pundit you ran a Rule Cyclopedia game till the charcters were Immortal level right? What character sheets did your players use? Or did they go real old school and have it all written out on notebook paper?

Some sheets that may be of use to you:

• BFRPG Landscape Character Sheet by Ray Allen (scroll down a little more)
  
• Four different sheets on Dragonsfoot
  
• Dyson Logos B/X Character Folder (browse the blog, there are more variations to be found)
  
• Beautiful Mouse Character Sheet by Tony DiTerlizzi (jpg)  (for your purposes not usable "as is" but maybe you can do something with it - there was a whole series of sheets like that, for regular D&D characters, that Tony DiTerlizzi used to sell at his booth at Gen Con during the 90s)

If I recall, we used the character sheets from the RC themselves.

Yeah I ended up using one from Dragonsfoot. But I had the Dyson Logog B/X Character Folder pointed out to me today. I really like that one. That mouse one is really cool looking. But your right it needs some mods/more stuff for my taste.

Seriously, dude, RC D&D is one of the easiest fucking games to play with any kind of character sheet. Why the hell all this dilemma? What was there in the other sheets that made you think they were unsuitable?

Just me being picky. I wanted the to hit table printed on them. I also wanted seperate sections for spells, and special abilities. I want a sheet that lists hit points and current hit points. Then lastly I want a sheet that is esthetically (sp?) to me. In short being picky.

I see. For me part of the fun of RC D&D is each player modifying the fuck out of his character sheet, so that he knows how to find everything he needs to his own taste.

I remember that this was the case with my first AD&D group. They were already playing for two years when I discovered RPGs and joined them. Each player's character sheet had a distinct style - some were a chaos of jotted-down notes, some were orderly and with almost painted letters, one was the official golden TSR sheet, and one was a computer-generated sheet, printed on a parents 9-dot matrix printer.

I destroyed that culture. The first thing I changed when I took the DM spot was to issue a sheet that I designed for the new campaign, and the group used it (and the others that followed as I added house rule after house rule) from then on.

Only much later I realized what I had done...

Today, I miss this facet of creativity and individuality, but at the same time the very first thing I look at in any new game is - the character sheet! (Can't have the cake and eat it...)

And yet I still like designing and changing sheets.

The first thing I examine on most games is the character sheet included.

It tells me what the design team feels is important in character generation and play. It also shows attention to detail. (The Cyclopedia character sheet is pretty good. So appears Pundit's FTA sheet. Clear, concise, important stuff where it can be used.)

A few even go so far as to show that the designer can't prioritize things... FASERIP Marvel had that problem; Too much space for unimportant things, and yet, not enough for Karma pools, and lacking the chart in short form... putting the chart into the realm of "Only get to look if the GM lets you"...

And the absolute worst? Really a toss-up. L5R 3E was pretty bad. Space Opera - UGLY, Cluttered, hard to use. Twilight 2000 1st ed; needed the generation sheet to generate the PC, and then a translation to the actual in-play sheet.

For the record, I didn't design that character sheet, Cristian (one of my gaming group players) did, but I think its really awesome.
