Yeah! I can’t live without my grid paper notepads. Not just for D&D, I use them for everything lol. But yeah they’re great for sketching maps, especially.

I like to make cards too. Like cards that describe the various things my character can do like cast certain spells or use certain features and I can activate them like it’s yugioh lol

Thanks for the links and the reply! I actually adore those class sheets and I paid more than a couple bucks to the creator when I first found them. I play with a lot of new players and young players, so having all the class features spelled out right on the sheet is a huge help. Also I prefer organizing the skills by ability like that. Definitely a +1 from me on those sheets.

I like that printable, foldable sheet as well. I might check it out, but my small writing can be hard for my aging eyes to parse. We’ll see!

Fun alternative character sheets or folios?

First off, I really don’t care for the default 5E character sheets. I feel like there is never enough space to convey what you want and things aren’t where I would personally prefer them.

I generally enjoy making my own custom character sheets, but I am about to join an in-person game as a player and I was thinking of being a bit extra about my sheet. I’ve seen some advertisements for notebooks or folios that are relatively small/lightweight but have multiple pages so there’s room for all your features and gear. When I saw these ads I didn’t pay them too much attention because I almost never play as a character and when I do, it’s never usually in person. Because of that, I do t recall what they were called or where to get them.

Anyone got any suggestions for cool stuff you being to in-person games to keep track of your character? I’m not really just looking for a simple pdf of an alternative sheet, but more like physical books, notepads, dice towers/holders, or clipboards that I can bring to game night.

Thanks in advance

Question for everyone. Who here still goes to Game Shops to play their games? by nat7 in c/rpg@ttrpg.network

I always shied away from gaming with strangers or even making friends at the game shop until a few years ago when I was looking for a table for FFG’s Edge of the Empire (this was well before Genesys). There was one near me and I played there every week for years. However, there was one session where a player made a min-max melee build that was able to go toe to toe with one of the DM’s scary NPCs and he went off on a huge tangent about how he would never allow such a build, etc. It made me really uncomfortable so I stopped going after that. Then COVID hit shortly after and I haven’t played a game at a shop since
