Saw the thumbnail -> downloaded the template -> made the sheet and the spellbook -> watched the video -> subscribed.

[@marklinton4567]

I really like the character booklet idea, though I'm not a fan of it being so small. My eyes, and the rest of me, are old lol. I'm inspired to see what I can come up with with a few sheets of paper folded in half on the long edge.

[@JPCoovert]

Yeah, it’s pretty small! Bigger sheet of paper = bigger book!

[@XATOM_X]

just use a3 paper

[@magnusberner]

I'm in the middle of making the perfect portable dm kit for myself so I can play anything. (Café, library etc.) And this is perfect for having a bunch of sheets to hand out.

[@DaTux91]

This is an excellent idea. I'm not entirely satisfied with the standard character sheet either and I've been thinking about making my own, but always put it off. I think it's time to finally do it :)

[@JPCoovert]

DO IT!

[@jefferybaker9455]

It's also a good idea for when your players loot a spell book because I've had players in the past with multiple and swap books so its nice to have the physical copy.

[@LeighRoss-ck9uh]

I am working on setting up a kid-friendly, intro to DND kit for One shots and micro-campaigns and this is perfect for me to make some premade characters. I am sooo glad I came across this. It is exactly what I was looking for! YAY. Thanks for offering it for free!

[@shivamutreja6427]

You're a very creative human

[@scarystrix9625]

I love how you make D&D paper work so crisp and clear with your style of maps minis and character sheets creations. Always a pleasure watching these videos. I share them every time for my D&D groups to watch and enjoy. Please keep up the good work.

[@JPCoovert]

Thank you!!!

[@criseastman6503]

Thank you so much for creating this and sharing it. My husband and I are volunteering at our local library with the D and D teen club. We are thrilled to use your character sheets with our players. It has helped so much! Thank you again.

[@OwliSketches]

So stinkin cute! I made some for my kids and just did the spell book on the other side, less to lose hahaha! Thanks! Subbed!

[@lukasneuschl]

Beautiful. Saves so much space on the table when everyone has this book instead of A4 paper.

[@thenbdm]

This is such a great idea! I always thought of making a mini spellbook, but character sheets into a booklet is something I never considered before. This would be great to personalize for players, and for DMs to maybe keep track of important NPCs.

[@jennifertaylor8882]

I've been introducing my kids to playing, and this would be perfect for them. It is sometimes hard for them to find info on the character sheets, so this would be great to help them only focus on the "important" info they need at the time. I love the spell book too. I can easily put the basics of the spell for my 8yo can easily see it. This will make our sessions more focused on playing, and less on finding info and deciphering it.

[@kukachoo42]

i love ur art style! i feel like so much of the aesthetics of d&d are so homogeneous and that style of art (you know exactly what im talking about) really bores me. this is so cool!

[@chafing_penguin]

I love this! Thank you for the tutorial and the printable! My son makes little comics with this method, but he puts work on both sides, so when you finish part a, you unfold it flip it and fold the opposite side of the paper into part b- i think he would do that with this and have one side be the character sheet and the other side for the spell book, that way it takes up half as much space in the altoids tin he's turning into a travel dnd set.

[@DInCadors]

Really nice, loved it, probably gonna use it. Only little thing I would add is a place to write MAX HP, along with Current HP and Temp HP, I did add a place for that above the heart. Keep up the good work JP.

[@SalazarArtNation]

I make mini comics/zines and I've been thinking of making a simple rpg game zine with a couple of my characters, I was looking for character to sheets to hack into my own version and found your video. Great video, I'll be making some copies soon.

[@BaylorGreene]

I've been looking for a smaller, easy-to-understand version of character sheets, and these are perfect. Thank you!!!

[@thetacticaldm]

Brilliant.! I am teaching 11 kids how to play RPG games and this is a handy little way to level up their learning experience. Thanks.

[@nancyfleming2549]

I love this thank you. I printed it out and instead of using it as a book I cut it apart and used it in my character journal.

[@davidkeyser128]

Love this. It does work very well on ledger paper (11×17).

[@JPCoovert]

Yes! It will make a bigger book!

[@spacelem]

It's perfect with the A series paper sizes, since they keep the same scale as they move up and down sizes, so you can try it with A4 (for an A7 booklet) or go large with A3 (for an A6 booklet) and not worry about margins changing.

[@JPCoovert]

@@spacelem YES! Wish we used metric stuff and those standard paper sizes!

[@Justin-bk2kh]

This is a awesome addition for the zine .

[@Kiarash-q9z]

Thank you so much... You are a relly blessed man. I enjoy watching your videos 😍🙏🏻

[@MsGinahidesout]

I'm pretty new to DnD, and I've been looking for ways to de-clutter the character sheet for my Cleric. Thanks a lot for this video!

[@jamesmoore9289]

Dude. These are the best versions of these I've found thus far. Great work. Thanks.

[@RealCreativeCarson]

I would love a video on how to use this because I’m new and don’t know how to use it

[@JPCoovert]

It's filled out the exact same way as a normal D&D 5e character sheet. Search "How to create a D&D character" to find lots of good videos on how to do it!

[@RealCreativeCarson]

@@JPCoovert ok thanks also I love all of your stuff so keep up the good work

[@elpegaso]

That's such a neat idea. Perfect for kids, and busy adults.

Wonderful. Think my weekend project will be makong one fo these for ShadowDark RPG

[@GrayArmyGaming]

This is AWESOME!! Thanks!

[@pedroemo5477]

this is totally adorable and a great gift for any dnd player

[@AutumnGracy]

For those thinking the page size is too small or they would like more pages, you could absolutely do this with a different paper size and still keep to a single sheet.

[@dargaard93]

A very nice contribution and what a wonderful idea ! My players have already immediately adopted them :)

[@andreicraciun8941]

An excellent idea for all a player need for TTRPG to put in a pocket. Add equipment items and backpack to put in your wallet. And you have all player need in a wallet.

[@juliafederkiel]

Love this idea! I'm hosting Cuthulhu one shots a lot and to hand my players a little book with all the characters is much better than a A4 character sheet.

[@enzosepulcri3123]

WOW! They look awesome! Great work!

[@Shards-of-Narsil]

I'm not necessarily frustrated but I have the same preference of a minimalist character sheet with the option of adding detail. I've gone as far as getting 5x3 and 6x4 memo/ note books (depending on how much info I want per page). All that being said, I like your character sheet. LOVE THIS!

[@morpheium203]

I've been super into 8pg zines lately, and for zimo I was really wondering what I could put up with this format especially with layout constraints, so once again you have managed to put up a video I needed haha!

[@JPCoovert]

Yes! Try a larger sheet of paper, like an 11x17 for a bigger book! Have fun!

[@on_certainty]

very clear and useful!

[@hovasaxa]

Love this! It looks great man. Might have to try this for my current character 😊

[@AndrusPr8]

Loved this format and managed to make full character booklets for Dungeon World. Characters go up to LV 10, so I managed to write down all the class progression in a single booklet. That is, all the movements fully written so you know exactly how they work The only character who's not completely contained within the booklet is the wizard because of its "spell book"

[@tw0nst3r]

LOVE this! Besides your fun artwork, it's just a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

[@demyanhs6534]

wow! I am quite impressed that this sheet is really comfortable to play! Thank you very much for the idea, and the implementation is a really cool and compact thing. (I apologize for the grammatical errors, I am writing through a translator 😅)

[@artistpoet5253]

I make mini games that use playing cards, dice and minis. Most times the rules are just printed out on a single sheet of paper. This fold-up 'zine format would be great to use for them. I don't know that I would use it for a character sheet since I like being able to see everything about my character at a glance. Page flipping a spell book would be fun though.

[@saiebelton393]

Super cool idea and it looks great super creative honestly

[@MemphiStig]

Great stuff! This really is one of the eternal problems of ttrpg life. I've seen a lot of character sheet designs over the years, and I've even made some of my own, but it seems like there's no perfect or ideal solution. Some are definitely better than others, tho, and this is a really good idea, especially if you want something compact that doesn't waste lots of paper. And I def appreciate the free pdf. Also, maybe the word you're looking for is "booklet." (?)

[@DiamondAppendixVODs]

You are doing a fantastic job and I hope u continue being so creative and inspiring 🎉

I literally love you

[@rubyred4976]

love your videos man, never stop! :D

[@carlosfuentes9574]

Awesome! This is exactly what I needed

[@kaylaa2204]

This is exactly what I was looking for, because my family is going through a bunch of stuff, my dad is remarrying, I've hardly met the woman he's marrying, and what I thought was that this game has connected me with people I started off complete strangers with and we bonded over the game. But my family also isn't really big into the stuff I'm into. So if I could make the game approachable, it could be a fun way to bond with the new family. It kinda sounds silly writing it down, but I'm trying and part of that is doing something about the sheets that even I don't like and feel more like a form to fill out than an easy way of conveying what your character is, especially to new players My only issue is it's missing a few things, but I like your way of making the book So I'll either use this and find some way of working around certain things being missing, or I'll design my own using this method.

[@-adc]

Thank you for making these templates free online rather than charging for them. I am extremely poor ( probably because i buy so much D&D stuff) and if it were not free they would be basically unacessable to me.

[@FogJuice]

This is a great idea. Honestly, it's almost TOO small for me, but I LOVE your page layouts. I think I'll try doing something similar, but with 5.5" x 8.5" size. Yeah, I can't get it all onto one sheet (which is really neat), but I don't like to squint that hard lol

[@JPCoovert]

It is very small! I'd love to make a bigger version in the future!
