Polyhedral Nonsense<p><strong>A character sheet for Far West, the Kung Fu Western&nbsp;RPG</strong></p><p>I recently ran a one-shot of <strong>Far West</strong>, the Wuxia/Spaghetti Western mashup RPG. I had fun running it, and even extended the session to a second session.</p><p>I’m planning on writing a full review, but for now I wanted to share the character sheet I created for the game. It’s essentially just a printer friendly, fillable version of the character sheet in the rule book.</p> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/far-west_character_sheet_revised.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Far-West_Character_Sheet_Revised</strong></a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/far-west_character_sheet_revised.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/character-sheets/" target="_blank">#CharacterSheets</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/far-west/" target="_blank">#FarWest</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/free-stuff/" target="_blank">#FreeStuff</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/rpg/" target="_blank">#RPG</a></p>
Polyhedral Nonsense<p><strong>Kosmos 68 – A character sheet for the Soviet sci-fi&nbsp;setting</strong></p><p>One of my absolute favorite RPG settings is <strong>Kosmos 68</strong>, a sci-fi setting by Paul Eliot for Classic Traveller based entirely on old Soviet sci-fi, mostly old Soviet movies (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOk0UUnf2OTRYz_hAxNHkwQvTsdF1VgZw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here’s a YouTube playlist</a>). It’s published by Zozer Games.</p> <p>It’s set in 2168, in an alternate history where the Soviet Union never fell, developed jump drive (the Stoyanov Drive), and began to settle the stars. The 31-page book details a single subsector, the titular Kosmos 68. Some of the contents are as follows:</p><ul><li>A quick description of all of the major factions and institutions in the future CCCP.</li><li>A mysterious sentient alien bug species to serve as antagonists.</li><li>A subsector map and UWP codes for all of the worlds</li><li>Capsule descriptions of some of the more interesting worlds. My favorite – Helios, which is essentially the planet from <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(1972_film)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Solaris</a></em>.</li><li>Some of the small alterations to Classic Traveller rules to suit the setting.</li><li>A perilous, mysterious area of space with strange physics, where strange artifacts can be found. It’s a clearly a space opera version of the Zone from <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalker_(1979_film)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Stalker</a></em>.</li><li>A short list of patrons with adventure seeds for each.</li></ul><p>There was an earlier, free version of Kosmos 68 that’s no longer available (it’s included for free with the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/523195/kosmos-68-lbb&amp;affiliate_id=474563" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DriveThruRPG </a>version). The new version (<strong><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/523195/kosmos-68-lbb&amp;affiliate_id=474563" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DriveThruRPG</a>, <a href="https://www.lulu.com/shop/paul-elliott/kosmos-68/paperback/product-v8y8969.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Lulu</a></strong>), is designed to look like the original Classic Traveller Little Black Books.</p><p>The setting has a lot of potential, and the book, though short, has the seeds of a lot of gameable ideas. Some of the setting has been fleshed out at <a href="https://kosmos68com.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Andrew Boswell’s Kosmos 68 fansite.</strong></a></p><p>I’ve taken my old Classic Traveller character sheet (<a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2022/05/10/new-character-sheets-for-classic-traveller/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">available here</a>) and updated it to fit the setting. All of the fields are the same, except I’ve removed the noble title, which doesn’t really make sense in the socialist future. Interestingly, the Noble career does exist in the setting, it’s just for Party members, so no titles. A few years, ago I made <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2020/04/27/kosmos-68-soviet-sci-fi-character-sheet-for-traveller-beta-version/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a different version of a Kosmos 68 sheets</a>. It’s a little more colorful, but I’m not entirely happy with it. (it’s a bit too busy)</p><p>My new sheet is fillable, and auto-generates wound boxes and a UPP. I’ve made both A4 and US letter versions.</p> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/kosmos68_letter.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Kosmos68_Letter</strong></a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/kosmos68_letter.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/kosmos68_a4.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Kosmos68_A4</strong></a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/kosmos68_a4.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <p>You can see <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/cepheus-character-sheets/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">my complete list of Cepheus &amp; Traveller sheets here.</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/cepheus-engine/" target="_blank">#CepheusEngine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/character-sheets/" target="_blank">#CharacterSheets</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/free-stuff/" target="_blank">#FreeStuff</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/kosmos-68/" target="_blank">#Kosmos68</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/rpg/" target="_blank">#RPG</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/sci-fi/" target="_blank">#SciFi</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/traveller/" target="_blank">#Traveller</a></p>

Polyhedral Nonsense<p><strong>Tiny Supers – A Custom Character sheet and a cheat&nbsp;sheet</strong></p><p>I just ran a one-shot of <strong><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/274295/Tiny-Supers&amp;affiliate_id=474563" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tiny Supers</a></strong>, the superhero system using the <a href="https://www.gallantknightgames.com/tinyd6/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tiny D6 system</a>.</p> <p>I’m quite fond of the Tiny D6 system.

Polyhedral Nonsense<p><strong>Cepheus Quantum – Quick &amp; Dirty Character&nbsp;sheet</strong></p><p>Over on Reddit, I saw a request for a character sheet for <strong><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/280143/cepheus-quantum-revised-edition" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cepheus Quantum</a></strong>, the free, simple one-page version of the Cepheus Engine RPG. </p><p>I had a few similar character sheets for various Cepheus games, so I thought I’d quickly modify them to work with Cepheus Quantum. It’s a little thin, but it works.

Polyhedral Nonsense<p>A self-described “lo-fi space western”, <a href="https://usa.soulmuppet-store.co.uk/pages/orbital-blues" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Orbital Blues</strong></a> is a simple 2d6 system, in some ways quite similar to Traveller, with a lot more emphasis on emotional stakes. I recently ran a one-shot and ended up making some custom character sheets.</p><p><strong>The Game</strong></p><p>Players in Orbital Blues will be playing low-rent adventurers in a run-down sci-fi frontier.</p><p>The three stats are <strong>Muscle</strong>, <strong>Savvy</strong>, and <strong>Grit</strong>. They start off with values from 0-2. <strong>Heart </strong>is basically hit points. It starts out as Muscle plus eight.</p><p>Each character also has <strong>Gambits, </strong>which are essentially Feats or Stunts.</p><p>For most actions, the player makes a <strong>Stat Check</strong> – roll 2d6, add the appropriate stat. 8+ is a success. Heart points can be spent to add points to a roll, and some rolls will have advantage or disadvantage.</p><p>So far, this doesn’t seem wildly different from Traveller/Cepheus Engine games. However, the heart of the game, the thing the makes the game unique, is the system of <strong>Troubles </strong>and <strong>Blues</strong>.</p><p>Troubles are described in the book as “summations of a character’s past misgivings, misdeeds, vices or regrets.” A number of Troubles are listed in the book. One is selected at character creation. Each trouble has a series of questions attached. New characters need to select two questions to answer. This allows the player to fill out the character’s background, and to provide plot hooks for the GM.</p><p>Blues are a measure of the emotional stress a character suffers. Whenever something bad happens, especially if it relates to a character’s Troubles, characters must make a Blues Check – roll 2D6 + Grit. If the roll is 8+, the character gains one Blues point. Each Trouble has a list of events that will cause characters to gain Blues points automatically.</p><p>When a character acquires 8 Blues points, they enter a dramatic scene called <strong>Trouble is Brewing</strong> where they confront the source of their trouble. After the scene, the character advances by doing one of the following: Restore Heart, gain a point in a stat, or gain a new Trouble\Gambit. Blues are then reduced to zero.</p><p>The point of all of this is clearly to promote more character-focused, emotional gameplay. The Trouble/Blues system is really interesting, but it seems likely that you need to run a campaign to get the full effect. A one-shot game will probably just feel like a session of Traveller. </p><p>There’s also a system of <strong>Credits </strong>&amp; <strong>Debts </strong>to keep track of how much money the character has, without doing a lot of accounting. Basically, all you really need to know is – are the players flush or in debt?</p><p><strong>Character Sheet</strong></p><p>There’s already <a href="https://usa.soulmuppet-store.co.uk/products/orbital-blues-character-sheet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a perfectly serviceable character sheet available</a> for Orbital Blues, but I wanted to play around with Affinity and some free fonts I’ve been collecting, so I made some alternate versions. They’re all visually distinct, but have essentially the same fields. They’re also all fillable, and allow you to enter a character image.</p><p>Boxes for Heart will be automatically generated.

Polyhedral Nonsense<p>As I mentioned<a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2024/07/09/a-mongoose-traveller-character-sheet-looking-for-feedback/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> in a previous post</a>, I’m working on my own custom character sheet for Traveller. Specifically the Mongoose 2nd edition. I had asked for feedback on my initial design, both here and on Reddit.</p><p>Thanks for everyone’s suggestions. I wasn’t able to incorporate all of the suggestions, but I did appreciate them.</p><p><strong>Design Notes</strong></p><p>I’ve always liked the simple design of the original little black Traveller books from 1977, so I used that as an inspiration – Black and red text, Optima fonts, and the Imperial Sun icon. I used the same design for <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2022/05/10/new-character-sheets-for-classic-traveller/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">my Classic Traveller sheets</a></p><p>Instead of listing all of the skills the way the official sheet does, I preferred the cleaner and space-saving method of just having a text box for the skills.</p><p>These sheets are designed for use in a long-term campaign, so I wanted a lot of space for things. The stuff players would use in play most often – stats, skills, armor &amp; weapons – are all on the first page for easy access. It will auto-calculate the stat modifiers and will make check boxes for keeping track of wounds.</p><p>The second page is all for physical things the players have: equipment, augments, and money. The equipment list allows you to enter the Kg for each item and will auto calculate the total weight if you’re using encumbrance rules.</p><p>I like to have a lot of space for a character’s history and social contacts, so the third page is dedicated to that.</p><p>Most Traveller characters don’t have psionics, so I made that a separate sheet. Printing it can be optional. </p><p>One of the suggestions I got on Reddit was to have space to keep track of a character learning new skills during a campaign. I’ve made a separate sheet just for that.</p><p>At the last minute, I decided to add a table tent. If you print this page, I’d recommend using cardstock.</p><p><strong>The Files</strong></p><p>Currently, I only have the US letter version. I’ll get around to making an A4 version soon. </p><p>*** Update – I’ve added an A4 version</p> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/mgt2_imperial_letter.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>MGT2_Imperial_Letter</strong></a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/mgt2_imperial_letter.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/mgt2_imperial_a4.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>MGT2_Imperial_A4</strong></a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/mgt2_imperial_a4.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <p>I’ve added these to<a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/rpg-character-sheets-master-list/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> my main list of character sheets</a>, and <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/cepheus-character-sheets/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">my Traveller/Cepheus page of sheets</a> as well.</p><p>If you wanted to make your own version of this, I’d be happy to send you the original Affinity file I used to create them.

Polyhedral Nonsense<p>I’ve been running Mongoose Traveller 2E for a while now, and I haven’t found a MGT2 sheet I’m entirely happy with, so I’ve decided to start making my own. It’s still a work in progress, but I thought I’d post what I have so far with the hope of getting some feedback on the design.</p><p>Like most of my sheets, it will be fillable, and will auto-calculate stat modifiers and wound boxes.</p><p>Here’s some stuff I’m possibly adding (mostly from the Traveller Companion):</p><ul><li>Alternate stats – Wealth, Luck, Sanity</li><li>Wound conditions – minor, major, severe, crippling, etc.</li><li>More detailed allies &amp; contact sheet</li><li>Auto checkboxes for PSI</li><li>It’ll total up the Kg of all of the equipment.</li></ul><p>Here’s the 4 page character sheet as it is now.

Polyhedral Nonsense<p>I recently picked up a physical copy of <strong><a href="https://cloudempress.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cloud Empress</a></strong>, an “ecological science fantasy” RPG from watt. It uses the same ruleset as the popular sci-fi game Mothership</p> <a href="https://cloudempress.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> <p>The setting is a magic-poisoned world, with floating cities over a green, but dangerous landscape. This world is threatened by occasional outbreaks of giant magical cicadas, called the <em>Imago</em>, which feast on the bones of dead, and are the source of <em>chalk</em>, the substance that both poisons the land and powers the magic of the setting.</p><p>The 58-page book is well designed, with lots of interesting line art giving a nice sense of the world.</p><p>It’s inexplicably <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/454022/Cloud-Empress-Rulebook&amp;affiliate_id=474563" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">free to download</a>.</p><p><strong>Character Sheet</strong></p><p>Cloud Empress has its own character sheet, so I won’t be making my own custom version. The official version is attractive and well-designed. It comes in a color &amp; black-and-white version.</p><p>However, I wasn’t 100% happy with how the fillable fields were implemented, so I’ve made my own modified version of the official Cloud Empress character sheets. Here are the changes I made to the fields:</p><ul><li>The stat numbers are now in a Serif Gothic font to match the book formatting and are centered to look a little nicer.</li><li>The job condition and notes boxes are now set to wrap text.</li><li>Fixed a small bug in the Skills check boxes.</li><li>I’ve added the ability to import an image into the portrait frame in the center of the sheet. Just click in the center.</li></ul><p>The B&amp;W version wasn’t fillable, so I’ve made it fillable as well. The color version has an off-white background that might be difficult to print, so I’ve made a version without the parchment-colored background.</p><p>I’ve added these to <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/rpg-character-sheets-master-list/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">my ever-growing swarm of character sheets</a>.</p> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloudempress_charsheet_revised_colorpaper.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">cloudempress_charsheet_revised_colorpaper</a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloudempress_charsheet_revised_colorpaper.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloudempress_charsheet_revised_whitepaper.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">cloudempress_charsheet_revised_whitepaper</a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloudempress_charsheet_revised_whitepaper.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloudempress_charsheet_revised_bw.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">cloudempress_charsheet_revised_bw</a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloudempress_charsheet_revised_bw.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <p><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2024/05/31/cloud-empress-a-revised-character-sheet-for-the-ecological-fantasy-rpg/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2024/05/31/cloud-empress-a-revised-character-sheet-for-the-ecological-fantasy-rpg/</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/character-sheets/" target="_blank">#CharacterSheets</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/cloud-empress/" target="_blank">#CloudEmpress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/free-stuff/" target="_blank">#FreeStuff</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/mothership/" target="_blank">#Mothership</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/osr/" target="_blank">#OSR</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/rpg/" target="_blank">#RPG</a></p>
Polyhedral Nonsense<p><a href="https://manadawnttg.itch.io/lilliputian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Lilliputian </strong></a>is a short(62 pages), rules-light fantasy RPG by Matthew Morris. It’s based heavily on Into The Odd, Mausritter and other NSR/OSR systems. The game is intended to create seafaring adventures of exploration in a fantasy world.</p><p>I recently ran a quick one-shot of this, and made some fillable character sheets that I thought I’d share.</p><a href="https://manadawnttg.itch.io/lilliputian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><p><strong>Basic System</strong></p><p>The system itself is quite simple. Each character has three stats – STR, DEX, &amp; WIL. They’re generated randomly with 2d6+3 rolls.</p><p>To resist danger or carry out a risky action, a player makes a <em>Save</em>. It’s a roll on a D20. A roll equal to or below the appropriate stat is a success. Players can roll with advantage or disadvantage.</p><p>For combat, you roll a 2d6. You only miss if you roll a 2. Otherwise, you just roll damage, possibly with a advantage or disadvantage depending on the 2d6 roll.</p><p>Damage goes directly to the target’s HP, and then to STR. When STR is at zero, the target dies. HP scores are quite low in Lilliputian, and attacks rarely miss, so it can be a quite deadly game.</p><p>New characters start with d6 HP.</p><p>There are no classes or skills. You abilities are based on your inventory. If you have a sword, you can fight. With a musket, you can shoot. With a scroll, you can cast magic.</p><p>Many items have a <em>Durability</em>. If an item is used, a D6 roll is made. If there’s a 4, 5, or 6, the item loses a Durability point. After three points, the item needs to be repaired or replaced.</p><p><strong>Lots of tables</strong></p><p>Probably the heart of the game is the multitude of random tables for things. There are several tables for character creation, including Virtues, Vices, Reputation, and Physique. They let you create new characters quickly.</p><p>There’s an starting equipment chart where you cross-reference the player’s highest stat and their HP, to get the starting equipment.</p><p>There are tables for creating islands, oceans, dungeons, sea monsters, and settlements.</p><p><strong>Ships</strong></p><p>Since this is seafaring game, there are rules for ships. Ships are treated like characters with their own stats and HP. There’s a list of 6 starter ships, and 12 other varieties. Ships have inventory slots</p><p>Ship combat is pretty simple. Each ship has cannons that inflict HP and STR damage on other ships. They can be boarded after losing all HP and failing a STR Save. When STR reaches zero, the ship starts to sink.</p><p>There are rules for hiring crews and retainers.</p><p><strong>Magic</strong></p><p>There are two kinds of magic in Lilliputian – scrolls or talismans.</p><p>Each magic scroll has one spell. If a character casts it they can decide how many dice they want to roll. They more dice the roll, the more powerful the spell effects. However, for every 4 or 5 rolled, the item loses a Durability point. If any die is a 6, the spell is lost, and a Mishaps table is rolled to decide what happens.</p><p>There are also talismans – magic items with limited charges. Two example items are provided.</p><p><strong>Other Bits</strong></p><ul><li>A dice drop system for creating random oceans</li><li>Solo play rules</li><li>A short bestiary of sea monsters</li><li>Conversion rules for OSR games.</li><li>Faction Rules</li><li>A basic setting – The Swirling Sea of the South. It includes a wavecrawl hex map with island, encounters, and a dungeon.</li><li>It doesn’t seem to have any real affect on the game play, but the rules state the characters are only six inches tall (hence the title).</li></ul><p><strong>Nitpicks</strong></p><p>Generally I liked this game, but there are a few little issues.</p><ul><li>There are some small concepts and rules not entirely explained. For example, you can fish for rations, but there aren’t any rules for using up rations, or going hungry or thirsty. It’s also unclear how much inventory slots rations take up.</li><li>Another example – the ship combat rules don’t really specify how may cannons can go into a inventory slot, and how many you can fire a round. When I ran it, I ruled they could fire half of them, being on one side of the ship, but an official rule would have been nice.</li><li>There’s not a lot of support. No modules or supplements I could find.</li></ul><p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>It’s a solid but light RPG with a lot of nautical atmosphere. The rules-light OSR style rules are probably best for more experienced GMs. Even if you don’t want to use their rules, it’s probably worth picking up for all of the worldbuilding tables and ideas.</p><p><strong>Character Sheets</strong></p><p>There are character and ship sheets available in graphic format, but I thought I’d make them in a fillable PDF format. I’ve got A4 and US Letter versions for the ship sheet, and A5 and half-letter versions for the character sheet. I’ve added them to<a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/rpg-character-sheets-master-list/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> my page of character sheets</a>.</p> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.files.wordpress.com/2024/05/lilliputian_shipsheet_a4.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">lilliputian_shipsheet_a4</a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.files.wordpress.com/2024/05/lilliputian_shipsheet_a4.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.files.wordpress.com/2024/05/lilliputian_shipsheet_letter.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">lilliputian_shipsheet_letter</a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.files.wordpress.com/2024/05/lilliputian_shipsheet_letter.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.files.wordpress.com/2024/05/lilliputian_charsheet_a5.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">lilliputian_charsheet_a5</a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.files.wordpress.com/2024/05/lilliputian_charsheet_a5.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.files.wordpress.com/2024/05/lilliputian_charsheet_halfletter.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">lilliputian_charsheet_halfletter</a><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.files.wordpress.com/2024/05/lilliputian_charsheet_halfletter.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Download</a> <p><a href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2024/05/08/lilliputian-a-review-and-fillable-character-sheets-for-a-fantasy-seafaring-rpg/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2024/05/08/lilliputian-a-review-and-fillable-character-sheets-for-a-fantasy-seafaring-rpg/</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/character-sheets/" target="_blank">#CharacterSheets</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/free-stuff/" target="_blank">#FreeStuff</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/lilliputian/" target="_blank">#Lilliputian</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/osr/" target="_blank">#OSR</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://polyhedralnonsense.com/tag/rpg/" target="_blank">#RPG</a></p>

Polyhedral Nonsense <p>I’ve been working on a post about some of the various RPGs based on the Elric/Eternal Champion works of Michael Moorcock. </p><p>One of the last official Elric games was Stormbringer, 5th edition. The last and sadly out-of-print RPG from Chaosium. It used the Basic Roleplaying system that games like Call of Cthulhu and Runequest use.</p><p>There isn’t a PDF version available, so there isn’t a clean version of the character sheet available. I’ve taken it upon myself to make my own clean fillable version.
