Presenting the Genesys Character Booklet! This folio-style character sheet is intended for long-term campaigns with lots and lots of space for recording information. In addition, several important rules references, including healing, status effects, encumbrance, etc., are placed in strategic places, which will surely speed up the game of any player – new or veteran.

Minor UPDATE 1.4 fixes a couple of typos.

MAJOR UPDATE 1.3! A fully form-fillable version is now included!!

This product now includes 3 PDF files:

1. RPGNarco Genesys Character Booklet PRINT: A printable Genesys Character Booklet. See instructions below. This version also has a customizable skill list and the option to replace both the Genesys logo image (NEW!) and character image.
2. RPGNarco Genesys Character Booklet PRINT NO_BG: This is a printer-friendly version of the same exact document with the same features as the previous version – only without the color background.
3. RPGNarco Genesys Character Booklet FORM-FILLABLE: This is a version of the sheet intended for screens with everything completely editable. See instructions below. You can also print this sheet as it is if you don’t want a booklet (just a 4-page Character Sheet).

How to print your own Genesys Character Booklet:

1. Open any one of the two Print versions PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free-software).
2. Edit and customize the skill list to match your game-setting.
3. Optional: Click on the Genesys logo (on the first page) and select a different image appropriate for your setting.
4. Optional: Click on the character image on the second page and select a different custom character image. You can also print with the included image and just draw on it.
5. Set you printer to print on both sides of the paper (flip along short side) and print the 4 pages. This usually means that the printer will first print the first and third pages, then ask you to re-insert the paper flipped and continue the printing.
6. Put the 2 pieces of papers on top one another – top page should have the Main characteristics/skills on the right and the Inventory on the left. The bottom page has the Talents Pyramid on it. Then fold everything in the exact middle to form a booklet.
7. Using the small black lines as reference, staple the center of the booklet with a couple of staples. I suggest putting the open booklet on a cardboard and punch through it with an open stapler. Then bend the staples’ legs with your fingers or something solid.

You got yourself a Genesys Character Booklet!

Here’s a couple of Character Booklets I prepared for two of my players in our ongoing Salvage campaign:

How to edit your own digital Genesys Character Booklet:

Important note: This is a form-fillable PDF – not an auto-calculating PDF. This means that it will allow you to edit all of the sheet’s text entries but it will not calculate dice or skills automatically. You will have to calculate and type in all of the sheets information by yourself.

1. Open the form-fillable PDF version in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
2. It is recommended to save the file under a different name for backup purposes.
3. Edit and customize the skill list to match your game-setting.
4. Optional: Click on the Genesys logo and select a different image appropriate for your setting.
5. Click on the character image on the second page and select a different custom character image.
6. Type in all of the character’s information.
   IMPORTANT TIP #1: While typing text in Adobe Acrobat, press CTRL+E to open the Text Style Toolbar. This is a crucial tool that will allow you to change the text’s font family, size, color and other style options, in most of the fields in this document. This is especially important if you wish to use the GenesysGlyphsAndDice.ttf dice font (recommended) to note specific Genesys dice or symbols. I have already placed all of the Genesys dice and symbols at the bottom of every page so you can easily copy and paste them to other fields. If, after pasting, the font of the dice/symbols changes, simply use the Text Style Bar (CTRL+E) to change the font back to GenesysGlyphsAndDice.ttf.
   IMPORTANT TIP #2: When you copy text from other sources (e.g. Talent descriptions from the official PDFs) and paste in this document, it will usually paste the text with all of the styling (font, size, etc.) of the original source. In order to avoid that, I recommend first copying the text into notepad, editing it to your liking, and then copy the text from notepad to this document.
7. Save often and save backups.

I’ll continue to work and refine this sheet so make sure to follow me on twitter or facebook to stay updated.
