Pen and Paper RPG Character Sheet
based on [ Era Degli Dei ] Role-Playing Game by Alessandro Botter
About
Era Degli Dei is a homemade pen-and-paper RPG based on Lex Arcana rules and history. It is a non-commercial, unofficial review of the game structure that shifts the game in late XIX century. This way, the sandalpunk setting gets mixed with traditional elements from Victorian Age and steampunk atmosphere, without losing its fundamental inspirations from Roman culture.
My Role
I do not own any right on Lex Arcana nor Era Degli Dei. However, I worked together with Era Degli Dei author to design and produce a low-graphic, high-functional Character Sheet for the game. This choice was made to provide players full documentation to play with, while keeping it simple to make changes on the layout should the rules change during playtest.
I produced a mid-to-high fidelity wireframe to accommodate game logic, taking care not just of space planning, but also designing icons and visual representation of main game concepts and rules.
Character Sheet first page. Blank areas are intended for character name and illustration, if desired (Italian only).
Character Sheet second page. This is where most of character's main information goes (Italian only).
Character Sheet third page. Information here is related to combat, progression, and belongings (Italian only).
Character Sheet fourth page. This is mostly a "working page" the player can use to make calculations (upper scheme) or memos (lower area) (Italian only).
Era Degli Dei logo close-up.
Reference scheme for character's main abilities (Italian only).
The peculiarity of this design is that the Character Sheet was imagined to be printed on a A5 booklet; that is, an A4 paper folded in half.
