Default Expanded Character Sheets

After reading a Kromm quote in How to Be a GURPS GM about his players needing file folder to contain their character sheets I've been looking around for an expanded, that is more then two page character sheet, and I haven't managed to find one.

Which is rather odd if the players in at least one of the Line Developers games could do with such a thing and it not existing.

So are there any such character sheets out there? And what do people think they should include?

I'd suspect that Kromm's players were using an ordinary character sheet, plus additional sheets of paper for more equipment, spell lists, etc.

If you use GCA and the Phoenix character sheet, that can grow to as many sides as necessary.

Besides Phoenix and GCA (which is what I use) the GURPS GM Screen (not the DFRPG one) comes with a handful of alternate character sheets and extended sheets with things like an entire page that's just Ads/Disads/Skills, a couple with more room for Armor and Possessions, etc. It's also got a one-page single-sided character sheet variant useful for semi-important NPCs. And don't forget the Grimoire sheet from GURPS Magic, which can easily go into a second page (this too can be printed with GCA, either as a standalone or or part of Phoenix).

The GCS program grows its sheets as needed, too. One of the characters in my campaign is up to six pages, I think.

Maybe I didn't articulate this well enough, but I'm talking about the sort of character sheet you print out and fill in with a pencil, not an electronic one.

Pikers :P

The shortest GCS sheet in my current game is 6 pages... and longest is 11...

Though that is the effect of all the things you accumulate as over 300+ sessions and all the powers that you get with 3000+ points. They have all kinds of "at home" and similar containers in the equipment part and all the powers alone tend to take several pages, with the skills stopping way earlier.

As to the OP: no I have not seen such sheets, I think a lot of(most?) people who run campaigns where you would need something that big use electronic tools.
