When John's computer finally arrived
and he emailed me a greenlight on the project, I sent him what I had
and also indicated that I'd like the overall graphical look of the
page to be somewhat reminiscent of a sci-fi video game menu or
user-interface. I suggested making “metal frames” around the
boxed areas, and then making the interior of the boxes look like
digital viewscreens suspended or positioned by those metal frames. We
bounced ideas back and forth a few times, and John sent me at least
one new update every day. Email became fun again! Seeing John's
latest iteration and design progress was like getting a mystery
package from a friend dropped off at my front door every day. What
John produced felt like a sci-fi layering of desktop windows in a
digital, high-tech landscape. His graphical polish to the character
sheet really brought it to a new level—I admit that I might be
biased, but I've not seen many character sheets this cool in a
table-top RPG before, and I might even say it competes with the
character sheets of some of the big boys on the market, like D&D
and Pathfinder! What do you think?
