It purposely has everything the <em>player<\/em> needs to know, though not necessarily what the <em>GM<\/em> needs to know (though see version 2, below, for more on that). I&#8217;ll have a post down the road for the pre-gens and adventure that go with these character sheets, but suffice to say this is about the simplest I could personally tune GURPS and still call it GURPS.<\/p>\n<p>You can get the form-fillable PDFs here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themook.net\/gamegeekery\/?ddownload=5024\" title=\"Black and White\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ddownload-link id-5024 ext-pdf\">Black and White<\/a><\/strong> | <strong>Downloads:\u00a0<\/strong>3,255 |\u00a0<strong>Size:\u00a0<\/strong>428.6 KB<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themook.net\/gamegeekery\/?ddownload=5025\" title=\"Color Panels\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ddownload-link id-5025 ext-pdf\">Color Panels<\/a><\/strong> | <strong>Downloads:\u00a0<\/strong>3,349 | <strong>Size:\u00a0<\/strong>438.6 KB<\/p>\n<p>The game will be <strong>GURPS 4th Edition<\/strong>, but with a few tweaks thrown in inspired by a homebrew game I&#8217;m tinkering with and to simplify as needed. So, a few things to keep in mind if using this sheet:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Active Defenses<\/strong> have all been folded into a single <strong>Defend<\/strong> score (with a -1\/turn cumulative penalty), as noted on the sheet. This is simply the highest of the character&#8217;s Dodge, Parry, and Block.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Attributes<\/strong> work as always, but since a new player has no context for what a numerical score &#8220;means,&#8221; they have been paired with adjectives (a la Fudge and Fate). Note that this doesn&#8217;t actually change how attribute scores <em>work<\/em>, only how that information is presented to the player. Also, the same levels can function for skills, if you want to just go nuts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>10\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Poor\u00a0 (mostly because &#8220;Mediocre&#8221; takes up too much room)<\/li>\n<li>10-11\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Fair<\/li>\n<li>12-13\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Good<\/li>\n<li>14-15\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Great<\/li>\n<li>16-17\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Super<\/li>\n<li>18+\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Epic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Character Portraits<\/strong> have a space on the sheet, but there is no provision (that I&#8217;m aware of) for a form-fillable PDF to allow a user to add their own picture. So, either leave it blank, or fill in the PDF and save it as a JPG, then use Paint, GIMP, Photoshop etc. to add your own image to it.<\/p>\n<p>If that seems a bit <em>too<\/em> simple for your tastes, the version 2 sheet might be a better fit. It is still simplified and intended for streamlined games, but displays more information for those players that want it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themook.net\/gamegeekery\/?ddownload=5023\" title=\"Version 2.0\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ddownload-link id-5023 ext-pdf\">Version 2.0<\/a><\/strong> | <strong>Downloads:\u00a0<\/strong>2,985 | <strong>Size:\u00a0<\/strong>106.8 KB<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy these!
