Sheet Designs: Classic & Series 5

[amperglyph]

Well, I know there's been a lot of postings of character sheets along the vein of these, but, for my first post, I wanted to share these - variants of the fillable version of the official character sheet, based on the opening sequences from classic seasons, as well as the latest series.

Preview image:


Top Row:
Sheet #1 - "Black" - Based on the credits of episodes 1963-1969, especially those from around the time of the First Doctor/Second Doctor transition. Ideal for any adventure from back in the monochrome age.

Sheet #3 - "Keys" - From the credits of episodes 1970-1974, during the life of the Third Doctor and his time with UNIT. Also inspired by the appearance of DVD copies of classic episodes, making it a good "generic" sheet for old adventures.

Sheet #4 - "Scarf" - Combines the iconic symbols of the Fourth Doctor, the diamond logo, and the rainbow scarf, evocative of credit sequences from 1974 to 1979. Reflects the rather long age of Tom Baker's adventures.

Sheet #5 - "Starburst" - Based on the revamped credits sequence used between 1980 and 1986, and contains elements from the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Doctor variations of the sequence.

Bottom Row:
Sheet #7 - "Spiral" - Features the brightly coloured computer-generated graphics associated with the Seventh Doctor's tenure on the show, used on Doctor Who items and merchandise from 1987 up to the movie's release in 1996.

Sheet #8 - "Pocketwatch" - Modelled after the covers original Big Finish Audio Eighth Doctor Adventures, released in 2001, combining the style introduced in the movie with an Edwardian sepia tone.

Sheet #11 - "Fishcustard" - The popular new blue style for the Doctor Who series, as it appeared in the Adventure Games series for PC in 2010.

As stated before, all of these sheets are fillable and should work for your adventures with little difficulty; if you have any issues or requests, such as styles that I missed or if you need printer-friendly versions, make sure to let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Very nice indeed! Have some karma.

[Craig Oxbrow]

Quite!

Very nice! The only nitpick that comes to mind is that the TARDIS appears to be the same throughout, rather than reflecting the subtle changes over time ;D

First off, thanks everyone for the compliments and the karma - I really appreciate it.

I know, I felt that was a bit of a gyp too, but finding good quality pictures of each version of the TARDIS, at proper angles to appear on the sheet proved to be difficult - most of what's out there on the internet seems to be drawings and schematics.

Of course, the TARDIS that's there could simply be edited into shape, by changing the font on the front, adding or removing details, altering the colour or the light on the top, but ultimately I figured not enough people were enough of TARDIS nerds to justify the effort. That's not to say I might not do it, at some point, I just need to know that it would be worthwhile.

Awesome work! I can really appreciate all the work you've put into these. These are definitely something I would use if it wasn't for the amount of ink it would take to print these off. A complaint I have with the original sheet, too. Excellent work, though!

[lazarusking]

These are awesome. Well done.

[Eryx]

Thank you, I will use them and let my players choose their favorite one !

Just a question, why are 2nd and 9th missing ?
To much resemblances between 1st & 2nd, and 9th and 10th ?

new here and i love your record sheets, can you do Torchwood for my wife and Sarah Jane adventures for my kids. It would be awesome not to sort through Torchwood from the 10th doctor. Thanks and keep up the awesomeness!
