The Exchange RPG Superstar 2010 Top 32

What software would you recommend to make a character sheet? I started missing about with Adobe InDesign but it seemed rather fiddly. Word, Publisher and PowerPoint don't really do it for me. If I should stick with Adobe, can you recommend a good tutorial or book? I'd like to end up with something in the style of Neceros' sheets.

I have Adobe Creative Suite, Office 2010 and can get most packages cheap through my work. Any and all ideas appreciated!


I would use either Excel or the full version of Acrobat.

Check out Erian7's Excel sheet. It's incredible..

I used Illustrator for all my sheets. Then for form generation I used Adobe Acrobat Pro. I tried InDesign and found it didn't suit me.

EDIT: I cannot recommend a book, I found using Illustrator easy enough to teach myself with time. You may find this too. You can email me at this address (not linked and broken up to avoid spam). Kakarasa at gmail dot com.

I think I am missing something...

Either you are making a comment on not being able to afford Windows, or you and/or Tensor are talking about another program than the built in Windows text editor, or even the open source replacement/upgrade Notepad++.

Even Programmers Notepad is free, and those are the only things I come up with in a search for notepad.

Ahh. Okay. Much clearer now.

I did not assume Tensor was joking, since s/he is behind the Share your Code Snippets thread. I figured it was a mention to coding his/her own.

Ahhhh, interesting. That may very well be.
