Spellwoven: how's my layout?
This is just a quick post of the (incomplete) chargen material to see if people like my layout (so far). I'm still messing around with some of the edits and suggestions from previous posts, though I think I've implemented most suggestions now. Let me know if you spot something I should have fixed, but did not.
Here's the current state of the Character Sheet:

Here's the current Chargen. I'm not happy with the arrangement of absolutely everything... some of this has been arranged in a rush... there are som images I consider clumsy and there's some awkward layout in places.

A couple specific questions:
- Does it flow well? Are the sections in the basic order you would expect?
- Is it too crowded overall? I'm expecting people to print this themselves, so I'm trying to keep the page count down a bit (I'll also provide an ink-friendly version with the backgrounds removed). The trade-off is that some pages look crowded to my eyes.
- Is the 'wall of text' in the 'Folk' section too off-putting? I based this layout a bit on the way races were laid out in the old original Earthdawn game... but I'm unsure that it is working here. Not sure.
The documents are currently in A4, but having messed around I think I can create a US Letter version fairly easily by messing around slightly with font size and spacing between lines. I won't do that until it's finished though. There's no point in spending time creating easy-to-print versions that are incomplete and therefore will never be printed.
As always, thanks for any suggestions or thoughts. People always spot things that had never occurred to me. I often find the most useful feedback addresses a question I never thought to ask.
The community has been great in terms of providing feedback and suggestions about how to fix up the game, make it clearer etc. Hope it's looking okay thus far.
PS. And, as always, I'll post, check the links, and fix them if there is a problem. Will take a couple minutes to do the check and fix if needed.
