Thought of while looking at Kaemaril's excellent sheet which is done in the TARDIS decoration style. What if a sheet was done in Gallifreyan script style (the new script that looks like a cross between an astrolabe and a spirograph, not the old scripts). For example-

For example- I love the idea, though the way the text wraps around the circles would probably need to be individually tweaked, 'cos from the example some work better than others. And you'll need some big circles

For example- [/quote I really like that idea, nice, you should make the fonts smaller though, more discreet, If you had this sitting on something like the background wallpaper of this site (say make your Gallifreyan script white to stand out) that would look very cool indeed, sign me up for that

Hullo, Curufea, Not gonna quote the original post, as the graphic content of this thread is getting up there. I rather like the idea for this style of DW: AiTaS character sheet. It reminds me of the stuff that was done for Deliria and to a lesser extent Hellas: Worlds of Sun and Stone. Look forward to seeing what you do with this one, for sure. Have some karma, just for the basic style and idea.

I wonder if you could find a font that is, itself based on circles, and use that, in order to keep the 'theme' going that further step. For example: www.fontstock.net/5102/mystery-circle.htmlTrue it would make it almost unreadable, but I still like the idea

I dont' think readability matters so much with a character sheet after a while. Players consult it so often that it's pretty much just the position of the numbers and the iconic images around them that becomes memorable.
I was thinking of possibly having double circles as well, with the text of the name done as a smaller font, but repeated around the circle. Or possibly no lines at all, just repeated text in circles.

That's pretty awesome, but hard to interpret

It's a first draft though It needs to have few enough lines to be easy to see, yet have enough that you can make numbers that appear sufficiently different from each other.
