So, I've had this stack of 3x5 index cards for some time with no real use for them. Now that I'm running SWD6 again, I came up with an idea: quick-reference NPC sheets. Instead of having a stack of character sheets or a list of stat blocks, I've come up with a printable template that can go on a 3x5 index card.

3x5 template.

Here's one that I just filled in.

I'm planning to make up some 5x8 variants after I get ahold of some 5x8 index cards.

And here are the 5x8 cards. They're a bit more useful if you have a recurring villian but don't want to take up much of your GM space with full-size character sheets.

5x8 Character Sheet Template

Example


EDIT: I forgot to include a space for Special Abilities. Here's the fix.

I think I prefer these over the 3x5's. Of course, that makes them roughly the same area as a regular template, just with different dimensions. My GM when I used to play D&D3.5 used these, but there was no possible to way to fit all that character info on a 3x5. With WEG D6 characters, it looks like it would work.

Nice Smile.

Personally I keep everything on my notebook. XLS file with all NPCs, tables, music, graphics to show. We only use pen and pencil for drawing a map during an encounter.

I use the 3x5's for "filler" characters, like thugs and the like. Hence the lack of damage trackers. For major recurring NPC's, I use the 5x8's.

Nice templates.

I've used 3x5 cards for minor characters: mooks, thugs, and spear carriers. I've handwritten the cards in the past, which allows me to use the card out to the edges. I'd like to print them out, but I don't know how to use all the space. For main characters I use an MS-Word template so that I can type in the info, store electronically, and then print as needed.

Thead necromancy activate

Since I never was able to locate fillable versions of these cards I made versions of my own. Which you can download from here.

This is a great idea. Even just jotting them down by hand on index cards wouldn't take long at all.

..Did this all the time for characters! Wink Part of he beauty of D6 is that you can get a good character on a very portable item like a 3x5 index card
