Play Crib Sheet

By pholland, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Roleplaying Game

So, the general character sheet has some useful info on it, as does the GM screen, but as there's no digital rulebook yet, I wanted somethiing to give to my players, so I've created this crib sheet. Again, nothing fancy, I can't do DTP and art but I can make it useable!

Nice, I was hoping someone would eventually make something like this.

My only criticism is I'd go with an easier to read font, it's rather difficult to read at a glance. Also I don't know if it's just on my end, as I know OneDrive can be weird with docs sometimes, but some of the sections are broken up between pages that makes it difficult to read as well.

I've done a bit of fiddling around with them, but there's only so much I can do with getting everything onto one page.

The Font is an L5R style font. Can easily use a normal font, but wanted 'immersion'.

For readability I’d suggest a using the stylized font for the headers, and something plainer for the rules themselves.

Nice work!

Great work! It seems like some text is missing next to "meditation or tea ceremony". Also, as someone who wears glasses, I'd really appreciate a version with a more legible typeface.

There's no text missing. In the rules Tea Ceremony is a specific Rank 2 ritual so that wouldn't go in there. And the rulebook simply says 'meditation and tea ceremony' are ways of removing strife but no specifics about meditation at all.

I'm not changing the font. It is an L5R font. If someone else wants to do one with a different font, be my guest. But I'm not.

For a discussion on using meditation to remove strife, see https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/285363-meditation-and-strife/

Meditation, by RAW, offers no direct way to remove strife. There is the Enlightened passion, which removed 3 strife when doing a Meditation [Void] check.

Personally, I would simply remove the meditation and tea ceremony language from the cheat sheet. Your character has to have taken some specific feature to use either to remove strife, so it is not generally applicable.

Ok then. I did not mean any offense. I’ll make one I can comfortably read.

yeah "meditation" being there is probably a relic of beta or previous writing.

its got no reason to be there in final release.

there are a lot of little "problems" like that with the stuff that was added after the beta. they definitely changed/removed a few things without always double checking what it would have affected in other parts/rules.

Please share, if you don't mind. And if you can share an editable version, that's even better!

Regardless, I appreciate anything anyone contributes to the community.
