Line-Up Card Sheets for Savage Worlds
 |
Being organized can be a struggle for any GM. Juggling stats for Players¸ NPC's¸ monsters¸ archetypes and encounters can be difficult. The Line-Up Cards just made all of that easier.
What is it?
The Line-Up Cardsheet is a 3X3 array of Cards detailing all of the major stats for Savage Worlds That means on one sheet you can detail 9 NPC's¸ units¸ monsters or mooks. That's enough for an average session worth on NPC's¸ The major crew of a ship¸ the key Villains in an adventure or the random monsters your players might encounter in a given dungeon¸ all in one easy to read sheet.
But wait¸ as they say¸ there's more.
Each of the 9 Cards in a sheet is sized to be cut out and fit into a card sleeve. Now NPC's Can easily be divided among your players to run during the combat. They key villains for a session can be laid out behind the GM screen and easily referenced. A stack of wandering monsters can be accessed and drawn from for sudden combats. Because the cards are sized for protectors a 3x3 card sheet can be used to sort monsters by encounter type or ecosystem. Friendly soldiers can be assigned to individual units or major villains can be assigned to different sectors of space and move from planet to planet.
