Monster Entry Shorthand

Unread post by Captain_Nibbz »

Quick question to everyone.

Is there a shorthand entry method that you use to jot down monster stats for easy reference during the game? Something maybe like what is used in the old D&D modules or something. I love the detailed monster stats that Palladium use, but I also like to have something that I can use with a glance at the table rather than needing to dig through a rulebook or monster entry for information.

Thanks in advance,
Captain Nibbz

I've designed one that I use in my home games that I've tweaked over the years and I've gotten to rely on it with my very GM life.

Send me an email at hostofthehouseofbts@gmail.com to look into getting it from me.

I did indeed. I haven't had much time to send you a message about it yet, but I finally got a chance to use it for my game last Friday. It worked fantastic. The sheet itself was very clear and concise for the information I needed to use a Master Vampire in the game I was running, and made for a nice quick reference in the middle of combat that didn't require me to dig through the book to find information.

I also used the version that I could hand out to the players if their characters were able to identify what the creature that attacked them was, but none of them thought to use their Lore skills or anything to identify it. :lol: So maybe this week they'll think to do that and I'll be able to see how they like it and get back to you.

Thanks again for sending those to me, they were a huge help!
