I hate landscape character sheets. I hate them with the sort of passion that a FUDGE player will generally reserve for the Rolemaster's charts. I've tried to make a landscape character sheet for TROS, but my skills at character sheet design have never been good.
Could someone please make a portrait character sheet? Please?

Hi there,
If youhave access to a scanner you could scan the existing one, chop out the bits and rearrange them (possibly with a bit of resizing). That might do the trick.
Personally I like the landscape style sheets because they more or less fit around the table leaving the centre clear(ish) for munchies and/or maps.

Except I don't have the software to do such things. :'(

I sometimes use Excel for character sheets. Usually very compact, so you can cram an entire character onto one single page.

I have one, made on MS Word. But I'm not going to be where I can get at it for about two weeks. Vacation and all that. If you can wait...great. If not, sorry.
I warn you, however, that it is not a pretty character sheet...purely functional.

What i did when i modified the character sheet was to take a screenshot and then open the screenshot on Photoshop, then cut and paste bits here and there to get what i wanted.
You can do mostly the same thing with MS paint (included with windows), but the software is kinda junky.

Can you supply what you created? I would be overjoyed.

WEll, it isn't portrait, or whatever the regualr way is called. It's in landscape, or whatever the character sheet is currently presented in, so i'm not sure if you want it.

You know you can take parts of the character sheet and copy them as pics and rearrange them with a program like Power Point or Word (if you don't have publishing software like Pagemaker or Publisher or what not). I tried to do it, but I didn't want to take the time to finish.
I personally make a new character sheet for each of my new characters anyway. Made an Ed ripoff (from Cowboy Bebop) and made the character sheet out of a round piece of paper and crayon. Had a smily motif.
