(I think my trick has been only writing when I feel inspired to share something... not feeling the need to update just for the sake of it.)<br /><br />About B/X: yes, when you put it like that it really does show there's a huge difference in complexity!Gavin Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362875699031245377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681509622212079331.post-27013816531597980612014-12-13T10:21:49.416+01:002014-12-13T10:21:49.416+01:00Thanks!

Personally, I'd include the equipment granted by the class & background combo as well, rather than going for the (time consuming) starting gold + shopping process, but it shows that a lot of the essential info can be packed onto a single page.Gavin Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362875699031245377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681509622212079331.post-4086584453568981432014-12-13T08:52:14.002+01:002014-12-13T08:52:14.002+01:00Here's a one page summary of 5e character gene...Here's a one page summary of 5e character generation done with by a known graphic talent.

It's a great achievement to keep a blog like this going. <br />I agree with 5E character creation being a lot more complicated than B/X.With B/X each demihuman had about 3 or 4 noteworthy abilities while humans had none (just no level limit). Classes were just as simple - clerics and magic users had spells, thieves had thief abilities and backstabbing, clerics also had turning undead. Fighters didn't have any abilities - just no restrictions on armor or weapons. <br />5E isn't as tough for beginners as 3E (I hated the 3E point-buy skill system) but it could be simplified.
