Checklist for Character Generation

[rleduc]

Hello All,

I was thinking about a form that could be used to describe the character generation process for a given BRP game. Imagine you had a group of players that knew the new BRP rules, and you wanted to communicate to them all the information they would need to roll up characters before the first gaming session.

The “options” sheet does not capture all the information needed for character generation, but it is certainly an important place to start. I have drafted a first-pass at such a list, and I was hoping others might look at it and comment.

Read a list with ( ) as “radio buttons” such that only one can be selected while [ ] are Checkboxes for yes/no options.

Thanks for any input,

Rich
