Book of Records, Vol. I: Knights (2013)

From the back cover:

Your own personal, magical scribe

Let's face it – record-keeping is at the bottom of the RPG Fun List, just above fumbling a roll to resist poison. But it doesn't have to be that way. Enter the Book of Records, Vol. I.

This digital download bundle includes a set of two-page record sheets for knight characters in the King Arthur Pendragon roleplaying game. The easy-to-use PDF files are like the character sheets of yore – only imbued with the binary magic of the 21st century, where auto-filling and auto-calculating form fields abound.

The sheets are compatible with the standard warrior-cultures from the Book of Knights & Ladies and are suitable for use in all phases of The Great Pendragon Campaign. Presented in gorgeous full-color, printer-friendly black-and-white versions of the sheets are included as well.

These remarkable sheets allow both players and Gamemasters to spend less time crunching numbers and more time cracking ribs – as it should be.

From publisher's description:

This first Book of Records features a two-page autofilling character record for a knight character in King Arthur Pendragon. This PDF record works for all Phases of the Pendragon Campaign, though a separate sheet suitable for Late Phase knights is included. Both record sheets are also offered in printer-friendly black-and-white versions. The PDF product automatically completes a variety of calculations based on your character choices, including all the options introduced in the Book of Knights & Ladies. The sheet tracks Fealty and Homage, the new Loyalty Passions introduced in the Book of the Estate, though that supplement is not required for play.

Additional features:

• Choose from 13 different cultural backgrounds, from Aquitanian (Arian Christian) to Saxon (Germanic Pagan), though Cymric (British Christian) is the default selection.
• Your cultural selection automatically indicates the Personality Traits associated with your knight’s Religious Bonus and autofills the starting values for all Personality Traits.
• Armor Type, Horses, and a number of fields associated with your knight’s family, including Family Characteristic, feature pull-down menus of the all the available options. The campaign year that a specific horse becomes available is noted as well!
• All of the Derived Statistics (e.g. Damage and Healing Rate) are automatically calculated and filled based on your Primary Statistics (e.g. Strength).
• The Glory Total noted on the front page automatically updates based on Glory gains and losses you note on back page.
• Most fields can be overwritten by the player to allow for house rules and character maintenance over time.

King Arthur Pendragon is a streamlined game system, but knights undergo constant change and growth. The record sheets included here allow your characters to remain current and dramatically simplifies the creation of new knights — PC’s and NPC’s alike! Future volumes of the Book of Records are planned, including auto-calculating records for Estates and Honours, Continental characters and Ladies.
