Roleplaying Games Reference Sheets
I love tabletop roleplaying games. As a hobby project, I sometimes make rules summaries for the benefit of the people I play with, or with the RPG community as a whole.
These sheets were made on my own initiative for my own use, and I claim no ownership of the games they describe.
Viking Death Squad
Viking Death Squad is a no-nonsense game about Viking warriors awakening to a post-apocalyptic Earth overrun by demons.
This sheet was designed to fit as a quick summary in the end pages of the rulebook. As such it does not go into detail on the rules. The limited space provided lots of challenges in expressing the rules as visually as possible.
The sheet fits the style of the book itself, with stark, contrasting colors. These colors are used to reinforce connections, such as the green Resolve dice. Visual elements from the rulebook itself are used along with my own additions.
I posted this on the Viking Death Squad forum along with graphic design forums to gather feedback and make adjustments.
Blades in the Dark
Blades in the Dark is a game about criminals in a haunted Victorian-era city.
The game has quite detailed procedures for running your criminal crew between each heist. It can be easy to forget all the steps and options available.
The sheets provided on the game's website are good, but I wanted something closer to a game board, where players could place their pawns to indicate what they were doing. Since this was intended to be printed, I also wanted to avoid using too much color.
The sheet uses mostly elements from the game, such as the standard typefaces used in the rulebook and associated material, with a few minor icons, such as coins, by me.
This game has many rules that I had to express as succinctly as possible. Getting feedback from players of the game was vital for finding rules ambiguities.
