Updated RTF Export - Compact 6E - good for convention play

[mudpyr8]

This is the format I use for all of my convention games. The attachment shows Captain America and Alyx Vance from Half-Life. Both of these are straight output, although on Cap' I did a backspace in front of "BACKGROUND" so it fit on 2 pages. That type of thing I did by design so that you could easily adjust the layout post export.

Hopefully this is my last update to this format before I begin work on a 3-column format.

Big thanks to RPMiller for inspiration and Susano for his kick-@$$ Half-Life conversion. All of the characters will be posted there soon - I just have to send Alyx, Barney, Griggs, Sheckley, Father Grigori, Victory Mine Vortigaunt, and DOg on over to him once I update those since I ran at the con'.

Bug finders are welcome. Some of you may notice that advantages & limitations are listed simply with (+) and (-). That is intentional. If you don't like it... tuf. It's meant to avoid confusing new players but still easily indicating which modifiers enhance or limit a power.

RTF - Compact 6E (SH)

HERO System Sixth Edition
Type: Single Character
File Extensions: RTF
The layout is a clean two column format with indenting and bolding for clarity. The Hero System logo is in the document, and nearly all character tags/information are included. Redundant information is avoided (e.g. STUN is listed only once).
Sections are by column. Usually you can condense a character to 2 pages just by rearranging sections.
The RTF in this format is only supported by MS Word, which is supported with the MS Word Viewer (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4).
Other Notes
* All skill levels put along side Combat Skill Levels
* Encumbrance is only displayed if you have equipment
* Equipment lists in a more "equipment like" format
* Secondary STR produces Secondary ENC Table
* If you have an image file the file size will be bloated if you just preview the character. Use Export to File to ensure the smallest file size possible.
* Image should fit under background and must be a JPEG
Please feel free to send me comments or corrections.

Thanks!

Uhm... yeah.. I need to look at those. Things have been kinda busy here, what with the job hunt and all.

BTW -- I've been using this export for my Well of the Worlds game and the players have really liked it. Especially those who have never played before.

Awesome! Great to hear. I am dabbling with my new 3-Col layout based on discussions we had at GenCon so hopefully that will go over even better.

Whoops! I just realized Alyx has a piece of Fallout equipment I was using during the test of the export format. Talk about crossworlds play! DØg vs. Deathclaw!
