The deal maker for me with the Game Master's Toolkit were the Episodes included. I'm not big on large written scenarios as they tend to trail of and include a huge number of features I don't need and make it impossible to run them without alteration. The Episodes however give nice piece of adventure to be expanded and used as needed.

Therefor I'd like to challenge you all to make (at least) one one-sheet.

One-sheets should be just that - an episode in one sheet that can be used as a small encounter, cameo, adventure or even an campaign.

I'm "pro-all editions" I would like to see one-sheets that are stripped from game data (necessary rolls, stat lines etc.) as I believe GMs can decide when needed.

I can also promise to put all one-sheets to be downloaded from my blog Daily Empire (cursed linking isn't working so check my sig.) if they're send to me at doc_cthulhu (at) hotmail (dot) com or I'm given the permission to add them to the list. I'm not however in a position to promise anything more than some publicity and (hopefully) a large number of one-sheets as a price for doing this.

A sample (my first one-sheet that is) can be downloaded from my blog (cursed linking still isn't working so check my sig.) as pdf and open office document.

Ermm... I just noticed this might look like a scam due the not working linking. Hopefully someone will verify the whole thing.

I can verify the general notion that you're not a scammer.

I'll get you a one sheet soon.

Do you want a plain text file or a finished PDF?

What do you guys think?

I put the plain text file up as an easy reference. And forgot to mention the special font for it... Oh well there's a couple of changes I still would like to do.

As PDFs are much easier to open with different OS (what's the plural on this?) I think they should be the default format. Still - I can make the plain text formats as PDFs, even include pictures and do the layout if someone wants. After all the more the merrier.

I'll make a PDF to start with.

I think the Savage Worlds One-Sheet Adventure idea was the greatest-achievement next to the Erik Mona Adventure Path from Dungeon magazine (and now Paizo). The GMs toolkit has a series of these that I've not looked at in a while, but I think would be great for a regular offering like your website (and probably Liber Fanatica).

I'll see what I can whip up

jh

I just made my first one. Took me an hour, but it was good fun really. I like this idea and will try to contribute. I'll mail you the first one right away.

Gallows said:

Yeah, I just mailed mine. They're pretty quick and easy to do, and if a bunch of us get them done that will be a potentially substantial resource.

monkeylite said:

Yeah. The format is quite good. Never really looked at those one page ideas in the books, but now I can see the potential. We could build a very useful resource for GMs. If you have the creature vault, then it's easy to pick the NPCs you want from there.

Looking really good!

I uploaded them immediately. Hope we'll get more.

doc_cthulhu said:

I'll just write down my ideas in that format as I get them. I'll keep contributing. It's a nice way to organize your ideas

The link for Monkeylites one sheet is wrong though as it refers to your own smugglers sheet.

Gallows said:

Thanks! I corrected the linking.

Pump! We've 5 one-sheets! We need more.

One more came in almost two weeks ago. Check it out at the Daily Empire.

…It seems that the forum is once again against me. Copy the following for the Daily Empire: http://dailyempire.guildredemund.net or use the link in my signature.

What font do you use? I will send over some one sheets if you like

Great!

Caslon Antique size 28 for the header and size 20 for the sub headlines. Times New Roman size 12 block justified for the main text, distributed in two columns.

I can do the editing for all sheets if necessary if the text is sent to me in some basic text format.
