Roaring Rockets Character Sheets
Standups
Standups are little cardboard standups you can use instead of metal figures to keep track of where everyone is. This is a print & play game, so we give you everything you need. Use the one that matches your character sheet, and color it to match. Or you can use a little metal figurine. Standups work best printed on heavy cardstock from a rear-feed printer, but they work well with whatever you have. Most fold along the short edge to give you both sides, but the ones with speeder-bikes fold along the long edge. They stand up on their own OK, but work better with stands. Stands are available in the Internet and are called "game card stands".
A 1 page character background handout
A quick reference for people who already know how to make characters.
There are three types of character sheets:
- Archetypes are premade characters based on science fiction archetypes from 100 years ago (the pulp era), all they need is a name and a background. Coloring the artwork later is a big plus.
- Stereotypes conform to the fiction stereotypes of 100 years ago (the pulp era). The archetypes are all stereotype characters.
- Generic characters do not conform to many stereotypes and are fully customizable.
Archetypes
Documentation (to help you pick an archetype & get started)
Archetype character sheets (use the one who's picture matches the picture in the documentation)
Generic character sheets
Use extra sheets to keep your character sheet neat and tidy
Backside: The best thing to put on the back is character background
Equipment list (generic): A place to write down all the stuff your character has
Equipment list (male): It has starter men's equipment on it already
Equipment list (female): It has starter women's equipment on it already
Experience points & money: This one changes a lot. Its good to put this stuff on a sheet of their own
Decorations: A place to record any decorations & decoration points for characters who get them
Loaners
Sometimes you need a character who will only be used for one game. These loaners are 100% premade and ready to go. They are melodrama characters: they never change, get experience, get new possessions, and so forth. You can loan them to someone else in another game even if something bad happens to them.
