CHARACTER SHEETS
When TIME LORD was produced by Virgin Publishing, three
sheets were included in the book:
-
Characters
-
Villains
-
Aliens
These sheets were perfectly functional, but
were not included in the various versions of TIME LORD released on the
Internet except for a rough version of the Character Sheet. This was a gap that had to be filled. When the early
editions of the TIME LORD Companion: Express Edition were released, new
character sheets based off the originals were released in a format that
many people questioned the reasoning behind: bitmap. The reason for this was that it allowed
someone to create a professional looking character sheet with a minimum of
effort and without needing special software to do the job. However,
a negative effect of this format was size. The bitmap images were
large, but it was seen as a small price to pay for what was thought to be
convenience.
However, when the third edition of the TIME
LORD Companion was released, in thinking long and hard on the idea, the
conclusion was reached that those who had questioned releasing the first
sheets in the original format were in fact right. So at the same
time the TIME LORD Companion was released, the old bitmap versions of the
character sheets were removed from the site and PDF images substituted in
their place. As PDF is a format that preserves the look and feel of
the original document, it was the perfect choice for a high quality
character sheet that printed on a page at the original size of the printed
book. Below are thumbnail sized versions of each character sheet,
showing the general layout of each (with minimal changes depending on the
sheet).
