What’s New: Fully Printable Character Sheets!

After many late nights, spreadsheet headaches, and staring into the narrative void, I’m excited to finally release the official printable character sheets for Souls, Spines & Spotlights. These are hand-designed, campaign-ready, and story-anchored—built for players who want to live inside their character arcs.

Included in the Character Sheet Suite

Page 1: Identity, Powers & Genre

• Power Source section (Magic, Medium, Metahuman, Mundane, Arcana)
• Role + Genre layout (Primary, Secondary, Subgenre, etc.)
• Character background: Name, Pronouns, Origin, Occupation
• Personality, Appearance, Tools, Core Traits, and Current Situation

Page 2: Stats, Stress & Combat

• Soul & Spine system compatibility
• Stress trackers for Body / Soul / Narrative
• Breakpoints (like Rattled, Genre Drift, Collapse)
• Move set block + Action Choreography for fighting and arguing
• Passives section for always-on traits and quirks

Page 3: Emotional Blueprint

• Spaces for:
  • Backstory
  • Conflict resolution style
  • Core values
  • Goals & fears
  • Quirks, internal conflicts, comfort zones
• Inventory tracking (emotional and physical!)

Page 4: Spotlight & Social Web

• Relationship tracking
• Party dynamics and shared traits
• Cultural background
• SHINE & SHADOW logs
• Foreshadowing hooks and stress recovery
• Level-up milestone space (because leveling is emotional growth!)

Design Notes (from… me again)

• These are lined for handwriting, perfect for personal use or group play
• No fancy software needed—just print and go
• Built for real use, meaning they’ll get messy and scribbled on. That’s the point.
• I’m still working on a form-fillable version. Coming soon!

Why I Made This

I’m a solo developer with a love for storytelling systems and character-first TTRPGs. These sheets are the kind of tools I wanted when I ran games full of grief, spotlight chaos, and metaphorical suplexes. If you find them useful, or if they help you tell a story that matters to you, that’s the win.

Coming Up Next

• [ ] PDF form-fillable version
• [ ] Alternate sheets for Archetypes, NIS Agents, and More!
• [ ] GM Companion version with spotlight tracking + genre clocks

Download. Print. Live in your arc.
Thanks for being part of this strange, sincere, story-shaped universe with me.
