I'm starting up an in-person table next weekend and was wondering what resources you guys used to make tracking characters cleaner. I'm looking at using OggDudes Character Creator and note cards for gear and weapons since my players often end up with an armory and 'forget' which weapons they have on them between sessions.

This way too, modifications should be tracked more easily as well.
I hope.

Any ideas?

I just started a campaign, and I am keeping custody of all character sheets between sessions. That way I can generate gear cards, vehicle sheets and ensure correct info. I also provide printed talent trees for ease of reference. I have downloaded plenty of sheets from the resources thread, but not used any yet.

Basically what I had in mind. Thanks.

really depends on you. I do in-person tabletop and i have OggDudes character generator. Character sheets are printed from that. The stat blocks are printed out onto cardstock as index card sized. Right now I have quite the ensemble of NPCs on the ship with the players as a printed handout for reference.

Most of all the information is also mirrored on my obsidian portal site (see link below), so I can quickly reference information on my laptop

I also have a divided file folder i keep all the Old notes, and NPCs around.

We use standard character sheets updating and keeping track by hand during the session (smart players have a notebook, pad or something similar) plus printed specialisation trees, but I know most of us use OggDude to tinker and keep track of our characters between sessions, but considering the waste and how unsustainable it is to print the same character again and again between sessions, that is something I do not and cannot condone at my table. This industry wastes enough glossy paper and introduces more than its fair share of plastic and other crap into the environment.

The most important I think is to be sure sure EACH player has a sheet with a the entire list of option for resolving advantages and threat during combat !

Trust me, otherwise, each player will ask you again and again the same question on each combat check !

OggDude is great for character sheets and much more. I make sure every player has there character in the system and prints it out before each game unless they make it into a pdf and use a tablet. As for initiative I have made index cards for each character with all their based stats on it and have them in his stack depending on initiative order. If they are given weapons or armor or any kind of item I tell them what it is is up to them to make sure they write it down. I do carry most the books with me though so it makes it a little easier. There's two other GM's with me and they do the same thing as well.
