Play aids and other neat tools

[Rich H]

My own game mat project (I finally got my War of the Ring game back from one of my players) is going to eventually feature spaces for combat pairing, i.e. making it easier to track who's fighting who. I'll post pictures and such whenever I have the time to finish it.

I use my sheet in exactly that way:



The sheet in the above pic is just an older version of the one posted here. Printed out on a piece of A4 paper and it works fine; I've used it in large battles (ie, many adversaries, above pic) and against larger creatures (eg, trolls), like so:



Give it a go; it may well save you a fair bit of work.

Game night with all the newly made cards:

Really happy with the results and recommend them to everyone - all you need is a glue stick, enough soft card to back, and some clear sticky-backed sheets for covering the cards after you've printed them out and put them on the card. They take a bit of effort but get the Lord of the Ring BBC radio play on in the background while doing them and the time passes quickly enough!

Here are RAWified versions of the play aids, etc...

Stance Mat: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/795 ... RAW%29.pdf

Updated with all the new rules; Voidstate produced the original one years ago.

Combat Stance Cards: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/795 ... RAW%29.pdf

I tried to balance rules detail with usefulness of the cards being a decent quick reference guide for players. I think the balance is about right. If this is 'too much' then I could do a 'lighter' version - just let me know.

Combat Role Cards: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/795 ... RAW%29.pdf

A bit 'text dense' but I think they're okay. Again, I could do a 'lighter' version if peeps want one.

Player Scratch Sheet: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/795 ... RAW%29.pdf

Useful for keeping the main PC sheet clear of those numbers etc that get altered a lot during a game session.

Player-hero Summary Sheet: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/795 ... RAW%29.pdf

I've found this useful for me as an LM in recording those bits of information about the PCs that I often need to refer to.

Adversary Summary Sheet: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/795 ... RAW%29.pdf

Sheet for recording adversary details. Saves me flipping through various books.

Document Sheets and Templates: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/795 ... 20Pack.zip

A zip file of the template documents that I often use for creating my house rule pdfs, etc.

Think that's them all.

Thanks so much for providing these, Rich. I finally remembered to check them out, and they all look awesome!!!
