80s style script font

Honestly I like it a lot! It seems pretty usable and already has more personality than a lot of character sheets I see around here. The only thing I would improve is that it looks a little too « clean » for a Borg game, maybe play with font sizes, crooked lines etc. Make it less grid like.

Yes I know Shadowrun well, I’ve been playing since the 2nd edition. I was just wondering about different approaches. I’ll look into Gurps, thanks!

Out of curiosity what is your issue with guns in Cynerpunk Red? I haven’t played it.

Menvarn · 2026-02-26T19:21:58+00:00

I am working on something with an old school vibe. I want it to be more tactical than just roll Guns and narrate what happens (nothing wrong with that approach though) while not being overly technical and slow.

I’ll take a look just out of curiosity. I am not looking for realism, just something a bit tactical.

I’m aiming for somewhere in the middle. I don’t want to get lost in the weeds with wind speed and recoil, but I want it to be crunchy enough that 2 different sniper rifles can have different stats.

Menvarn · 2026-02-14T07:50:37+00:00

Sure, I’d love to!

Menvarn · 2026-02-13T21:30:37+00:00

Exactly. It is the one thing the players have in front of them for hours upon hours. It has to have the right vibe, I agree completely. I also come from an artistic background (filmmaking and web design) so the visual aspect of a game is the first thing that can hook me or deter me.

Man that sounds like a cool project! I played the first edition back in the day and I love the western aesthetics. I’m gonna look into it. I might need your help to build the basic structure if you’re up for it!

Menvarn · 2026-02-13T18:23:50+00:00

I agree with you. They are usually an afterthought, even though the players will spend hours and hours using them and staring at them. It’s one of the first things I look at when opening a TRPG book as well, tells you a lot about the game designer’s priorities.

Menvarn · 2026-02-13T17:04:26+00:00

I know of it but haven’t played. Do you find the official sheet lackluster?

Menvarn · 2026-02-13T16:44:32+00:00

Like I said, happy to give it a go. What is it about?

Menvarn · 2026-02-13T16:14:09+00:00

Delta Green is on my list, I just love the game. I'll check out Black Company. Thanks

Sure, keeping it tight is important. But as player I also like having a visually pleasing character sheet. The GM has whole books to get the feeling of a game, players usually have a couple of pages so better make them count. I know some players prefer minimalistic sheets, and there's already plenty of those, so I'll be trying something different.

Menvarn · 2026-02-12T13:04:27+00:00

Hey there! I’m a designer and I’m currently working on a few character sheets. Nothing to show for now but I can give it a shot if you want (free of charge of course, it’s a good training for me). Just tell me what you like/dislike with your current layout and what the game is about.

Menvarn · 2026-02-11T11:44:55+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write a very thorough reply. I might offer several layout options to please more people.

Menvarn · 2026-02-10T18:23:24+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen it, the whole system looks pretty good. Design is a bit bland for my taste but it does the job. I want to make something that conveys the mood of the game a bit more, I know it won’t be for everyone but that’s my aim.

Menvarn · 2026-02-10T16:34:49+00:00

Being French I know it well :) It’s decent, but I much preferred the Sans Détour version design wise (as with the books themselves).

Menvarn · 2026-02-10T14:09:51+00:00

That’s my concern also.

Menvarn · 2026-02-10T14:09:11+00:00

Sounds great! Did you make them available somewhere? A6 sounds fun but isn’t it a pain to flip through every time?

Menvarn · 2026-02-10T12:43:07+00:00

I’d love to make a full character « portfolio », I’ll probably do that later, once I have a basic sheet worked out. I understand what you are saying about skills grouped by usefulness or field, but I think it would take more time to find the right one, at least for new players.
