I recall seeing a 'how to' article in one of those kiddie mags when I was a yoot on how to make your own pads of paper. That info has been around for quite a while.

Copyrighted art and poor spelling suggests homebrew.

I guess anything is possible. They just look like the best homebrew Ive seen. But folks are crafty.

Ack, I thought I had it last night, I was reading Creatures and Treasures and saw B.P. and M.P.  It isn't Rolemaster, though.

Someone will come up with it. It is inevitable.

Well, it is not on there because this is a home brew character sheet. That type face was never used by TSR so no "tm" is a given. I would guess it was made on a Mac and Pagemaker. I will fire up the old G4 and see if I can match the font.
This thing would have been very easy to do back then.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

sounds cool. Like I said before though in person the sheets don't look home-brew they look very sharp and professional. At least not the home brew ive seen and why go through so much trouble to make sheets, I don't know it just seems like a lot of work for player record sheets myself, the binding is tight and the cardboard backers at the 25 page mark and one for the back they are glossy grey on one side and white on other thick card-stock. the booklet is very even and precise. I know people are very good at making things out there so im not denying its prob home-brew but i really want it to be something great and I keep hoping. I think I got them from England.??thanks for your s and everyone time on this.

It could be your scan settings, too:  if you're only scanning at 72dpi and at a low-quality setting  (if your scanner works that way), you'll get a cruddy looking image.  If you bump your scan up to 300dpi (and to a higher quality setting, if possible), that should help.
