![]() This doesn’t show you a whole lot, and it is somewhat modified by my desired workflow this is what I always use. Once you get in, you’ll be greeted by a sight something like this: You can find tutorials for installing them elsewhere you’ll want to find the binary executable of the console version of Ghostscript my install path on Win7 is “C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.07\bin\gswin64c.exe”. You’ll also need Ghostscript I’m not sure if version matters but I used the most recent 64-bit version. eps, and I’ve had mixed luck with getting my own text fields to be searchable, but you can definitely search the original sheet’s pages. For some reason, Scribus doesn’t like taking text usefully form. sla files provided need, respectively, the 3rd page. png by itself which I then feed back into my character sheet to keep the familiar look. eps hates bitmaps, but it’s still the best format to move stuff over I took the Shadowrun logo and exported a. That’s about all the help I’m going to give for Inkscape you’ll have to worry about aligning stuff on the page and the execution yourself, but so long as you remember that Shift+Ctrl+G (or equivalent) to ungroup it’s pretty simple for anyone who’s used a vector graphics program to do stuff. Either way, the fonts aren’t perfect, but they’re maybe 80% accurate to the originals, and unless you really think about it you probably won’t notice. Again, I’m not 100% sure the distribution, but so long as you don’t embed them (not a problem due to outlining text) most fonts will let you use them in a non-commercial project Grishenko’s free and Pigiarniq’s a government-owned font up from a Canadian place I don’t know enough about to describe it has character sets for several indigenous languages, apparently, but its English fontset is pretty close to the $150ish font that Catalyst used. For fonts, I use Grishenko NBP and Pigiarniq Heavy (or normal w/outline, I’m inconsistent), so if you don’t have the fonts you’ll probably get a bit of a problem from that. ![]() ![]() Once you get the elements ungrouped, you can just move them around on the page and put them where they need to be, then save the whole thing as EPS and take it directly into Scribus. If you have a desire to do some really cool stuff and make your own sheet using the pre-made design elements, you’ll have to ungroup them for some reason there’s not a whole lot of rhyme or reason to this, and Inkscape will parse the text wrong (you’ll basically have to scrap it). I’ve found that Scribus won’t do the third-page text no matter what I do, so I export text to outlines since it turns out better (EPS isn’t a fan of bitmaps, apparently). eps file, which is what I use to get it into Scribus. svg (for maximum editing later) and/or as a. pdf of the original character sheet-you can get it from Shadowrun’s website, but what you’ll want to do is get a recent version of Inkscape, and open up the. One of the important things that you need to know is how to open up the character sheet for editing. Things you’ll absolutely need (recent versions recommended): If you’re in a hurry and want to skip the tutorial on how to use the stuff, just jump to the bottom, but I can guarantee you’ll want a quick course on the subject if you haven’t done this sort of thing before. So I figure that I may as well get with the program and release what I have now, so that people can keep making better stuff off of it. As of late July/August 2013 I’ve had some family related troubles come up that are making it very hard to work on the SR5 character sheet as soon as I released 2.5a I took a break so that I could return to it with a fresh perspective, and things have come up that make it so that I won’t be getting back to it until well after something better gets made.
