You're very welcome! The sky only seems orange due to the amount of blood and fire and smoke on the battlefield. I'm not sure where these sheets originated from. But I do know that there were a few of this type in some of the box sets, though they were on light beige paperstock (at least, the few I've seen). The goldenrod sheets I have were the only ones sold seperately that I'm aware. The copyright on the goldenrods that I have is 1980. This same sheet format was also used in the back of the Dark Temple solo from 1990. (In fact, the one in the back of that solo is the same as the second of the two files I sent you, themattjon, as it has the Flying Buffalo address "stamped" on the right side of the bottom of the sheet.)

I made a character sheet for the 5th ed. It's digest size (A5) and similar to my OD&D sheet (I've noticed that many here frequent the ODD74 board as well . You can download it from my T&T page: www.mattiaswikstrom.net/rpg/tnt.htmlI'd be interested in having a look at the official 5th ed. sheets talked about earlier in this thread. I'd also be willing to host them on my site if someone could mail me copy.

I like it Burke, I use a couple of other attributes myself, but I like the layout.
A very well put together sheet. ;D

I like it Burke, I use a couple of other attributes myself, but I like the layout. A very well put together sheet. ;D Thank you! The differences in abilities between editions (not to mention talents and skills and whatnot) is a problem when making sheets. I found a lot of pretty good sheets for 7th ed. (there are a couple on Trollhalla under goodies) but almost none for the 5th, at least none that were as simple as I like them. Incidentally I do not see a need for attributes like WIZ/POWER or SPEED. The Grey Mouser was an accomplished fighter and Gandalf was incredibly strong when push came to shove. You don't have to imagine them looking like Conan just because they have a high ST, it could be more of an inner power thing. SPEED on the other hand can be handled by DEX and maybe CON if you have to run a marathon. But then again I understand that ruling like these might not sit well with everyone. I just like to play my games fast and loose and try to keep the rules as simple as possible.

burke, I really like the sheet! (Although I can't make use of it, needing a place for skills. Also I use WIZ. Well, actually I use the Arcane term for it from Mythical Sixth Edition because saying "I dropped 6 ARC." sounds better than dropping WIZ. ) I'll gladly email you the 5th ed. sheets. Post or send me your addy in PM or whatever.

Thanks machfront! I could make a 7th ed. version of my sheet. But what should be included? I only have the 5.5 rulebook. - WIZ/POWER/ARCANE attribute.
- SPEED attribute?
- Some space for skills/talents (are they the same thing?), how much space?
- Anything else?
Also, if you have any ideas for how to make 5th ed. sheet better, please let me know.

In 7.5, Wizardry (WIZ) and Speed (SPD) are regular attributes. They're normally listed in this order: STR, CON, DEX, SPD, INT, WIZ, LK, CHR. Some space for Talents would do, maybe five or six lines? PM me your email address and I'll send you some presents;)

An Exalt for you for your efforts, burke. Those are nice, clean character sheets!

burke, Email sent, though it seems that perhaps themattjon may have beat me to it. Sorry I wasn't able to earlier, it was a long day at the Renaissance Festival and then after, as usual, I had to work last night. And I didn't mean to infer that I play 7th. I was jus' saying that I actually do use WIZ (or ARC, rather), and skills that are much like Talents. I completely agree with you on the virtual uselessness for a speed attribute. For the 5th ed. sheet you made, I suppose you could have a place for missle adds. Oh, and an Exalt from me as well. Thanks for these sheets.

For the 5th ed. sheet you made, I suppose you could have a place for missle adds. Yes, that would be a good addition, just have to work out how to add that without making it look cluttered... Does the 7th ed. not use separate missile adds?

Well, having seen your other sheets for S&W, I can see the reason for the space next to the individual attributes. I'm not sure it's as necessary for T&T, but it's fine to have them just in case. Also, it's very easy to tell you're interested in symmetry in the design (which is pretty cool, btw). Having said that, I have to wonder why there's the space next to the space for adds? Instead of splitting each side, why not have combat adds on one side and missle adds on the other? What I mean is, you don't need a 'bonus' space for adds. Two solid circles for the two types of adds should do. Or am I 'misreading' the design?

Not to threadjack, but I just noticed something on the old 5th ed. character sheets from FBI. There's a space at the bottom for "Next of Kin". Nice. -lol- ;D

This is really neat. A card-sized 5th ed. character sheet with a lil bit o' flavor to 'er. www.dragonfang.com/archive/tunnels/basictnt.jpgJust the thing after you and your friends have watched Ator The Fighting Eagle for the twentieth time and, also having had a few beers, are ready to seek out and destroy the "evil spider empire" and dispatch the Spider God itself in a T&T delirium. ;D
