I'm in the endgame of my homebrew creation and I'm struggling with my autism and the one-page character sheet. I've made so many at this point that each weekly game, I have been making my players update to the new ones at the beginning of a session. I've held off for 2 weeks now, but I'm itching to get it right and get them laminated. Any feedback would help along with any great character sheets you've made or have enjoyed using.

Not bad honestly but might not be enough info for my games
This one is similar to that but using full black background to drop underline and replacing some boxes with lines.
Okay I might adjust mine to something similar, thanks! I'm a sucker for utilitarian but also for hand drawn customs. Though they never get made for anything other than Dungeons & Dragons it seems.
What do you do then? Use an app or just a blank sheet?
Yeah hand drawn can be really great (pic related). Pretty sure AI can do those now.
>what do you do then?
Depends whether I'm in person or playing on a VTT, but fundamentally either way it ends with me making myself a whole separate sheet that's just for my inventory or abilities, as those are the two things most likely to overflow like this. If you're absolutely intent on making this one page you're just not going to be able to do this though, in which case I guess I'd just suggest nice wide margins for note taking?
I think you may be right, I can't stop though. My players have embraced the changes, so I must be at least killing it enjoyability wise. But I don't want to push it too far, or feel like I'm half assing it either
Need either more decorations or less, maybe lines for some parts. The shadow of the edges make me think you are about to put more decorations but I did not see a sheet with it.
Flipped responses
No character sheet I've ever used in my life has had sufficient space for a realistic amount of gear/spells/weapons/whatever, they always provide a tiny field to write in or a small table. Please put more space for things in this.

Show me a better tool for character sheets than Scribus.
onlyoffice
How is the border creation with onlyoffice?
Pretty good, has a lot of custom pre-built options.
Final product, thanks to you guys
Looking good anon.
What's the prettiest character sheet you have?
I would like to have something like this in my end product, this is the wip so far
OP here, we have similar tastes it seems. Here's my old ORE hombrew character sheet
circles for wounds is a really cool idea anon, very cool
What in hermetism is that?
One of the Char sheets for a Fudge game, "Terra Incognita" I think.
Not aesthetically but functionally Mothership rocks their flowchart.
Conan by a mile
I'd have to laminate that, it's too beautiful to use and printing it
would empty my printer
What are some good tools for creating custom character sheets? I currently see Scribus and Onlyoffice listed here, anything else? Particularly free.
An "outliner" program like Notion or Obsidian always comes handy or something with a sidebar.
Close that frame border and will look 200x better.
This is the one I made a while ago and still use for 5e
