Re: Ogremorphic record sheets?
If you want prettier record sheets, look up the Martian Metals ogre record templates.

Re: Ogremorphic record sheets?
As I said, I did some quick pencil sketches, but just like the "odds dice" or "easier CRT" debates, it will come down to preferences; as they are now, the existing sheets aren't bad at all.

The current sheets make it harder because the weapons are jumbled on the sheet. There's no logical ordering of the weapons so it takes effort to find the grouping that goes with the weapon in question. They are just stuck wherever they "fit" around the picture. If I were doing it, I'd get rid of the picture completely and just do a simple stats rundown (e.g., old-school draw circles on a sheet of paper). It isn't pretty, but it's the most efficient at showing exactly what's left.

Re: Ogremorphic record sheets?
I've got an Ogre game or three lined up this afternoon. So I made up some quick and dirty stat sheets in Word. 14 pt. type for text, with 18 pt. "O" as the fill-ins. We'll see how it works. We also intend to test something a bit more that may be in the up-coming Ogrezine.

Re: Ogremorphic record sheets?
I'd be happy with good hi-res scans (or vector graphics would be even better) of top down and/or oblique views. That way we could make our own. Barring that (I understand the I.P. issues that might arise) I could be happy with half page record sheets per Ogre. I'm guessing I'm not the only Old Guy here that might have trouble with the standard size sheets. For demos I've enlarged the relevant sheets to 4 per page. Much bigger than that and the become a little too fugly to use to try to recruit new players. Your milage (and/or eyesight) may vary.

Re: Ogremorphic record sheets?
I made these in Excel about a million years ago... they do tend to suck up the black ink/toner though.

Re: Ogremorphic record sheets?
Well, as it turns out, we played two games of G.E.V. "Breakthrough" yesterday, so no Ogres used at all. And then my opponent forgot his potential Ogrezine submission papers at home, and we couldn't use that item either!
I did finish up the simple stat sheets for all the other Ogres, from Mk. I up to the Ninja, Vulcan, and Dopp. But really, anyone with an hour or two and a copy of Word can do that. |

Re: Ogremorphic record sheets?
I confess I am nonplussed by the notion that the type of record sheet I am proposing will create difficulty for players. They never created difficulty in Car Wars so why would they in Ogre? Even leaving aside the likelihood that anyone who would use them can probably recite Ogre stats from memory in his sleep.
To clear up confusion I've knocked together a very raw image that suggests what I'm after. WARNING: I did it in about ninety seconds in paint, don't expect Tiepolo. Also I left out two AP guns. https://imgur.com/obGFCHO Sloppy as that is, I think displays quite clearly how much of everything there is and where they are. Notice that we can dispense with little boxes for the weapons: different shapes can denote different weapons, and the whole shape can be crossed out. It might even be fun for the opposing player to do the crossing off, like "BLAM I just shot that off!" |

Re: Ogremorphic record sheets?
I gotta admit, your artwork makes sense, but to me it looks like Godzilla Cat is attacking Big City!
