Hello gents!

I had a fellow collector swing by today to meet me and pick up a boxed set he won from me. He brought a 50 page pad of character sheets, but they were unfamiliar. They did say Advanced D&D, and they had pretty standard characteristics. Here are the things that stood out:

Money was listed as t.p., p.p., g.p., s.p., e.p., c.p., b.p.
The stats page had "color o! hair" and "color o! eyes" ( no typo there)
There were sections for "concealed equipment" and "back protection"

I'm awaiting a scan, but if anyone can guess what they are before the scan, they will get the Non-Award. Oh, also, it DID have the Comeliness stat, so I am assuming it wasn't the red-covered character sheets. It is possible they had a cover sheet at one time, I'm not sure.

That's interesting, Frank:  bp = bronze pieces, which are mentioned in WG4 as well as in Gygax's Gord novels.  I'm not familiar with tps, although Lankhmar had some coins valued higher than pps.  Here's a link to find the Gord Greyhawk coinage:  http://home.comcast.net/~chris.s/gordmisc.html#currency

Interesting.  Given the "o!" and inclusion of Comeliness, I would guess that these were homebrew sheets.   (That reminds me that I should scan and post mine, sometime ).

I don't recall ever seeing sheets (other than my aforementioned homebrew ones) that listed Comeliness as a stat.  Given that as well as the possible overlap with coins above, I wonder if they were playing in Greyhawk, perhaps....

The Comeliness stat makes me think it was post-UA. Once Grey sends me a scan I'll try and post it. He has a really nice collection, BTW. It's always nice to meet someone as enthusiastic as we are about RPG stuff.

I think it is possible it had a cover sheet, Grey.
Here is the scan, guys. There is a prize of $200 Vulcan dollars to whomever figures out the Riddle of the Sheets. Hm, that sounds pornographic........

t.p. = titanium piece (?). I have seen used as tin piece before, but since the coins are listed in value order, I will stick with Titanium.

Notice also the %detect illusion and %detect magic in the spells section. Do UA barbarians have that ability? I just can't remember.

I think the 'o!' thing is nothing. Zooming in, it looks like the 'f' in 'Proficiencies', but underlined.

T.P. could be total pieces; for encumbrance purposes, maybe? The value order thing doesn't fly since e.p. is too low.

'Back protection'? That's nutty.

I don't know...those character drawings look very Judges Guild to me...but the Comeliness thing kinda throws that off...

It surely is a mystery!

The mini-PC drawings are definitely TSR originated art:  the female is a Cleric IIRC, and the male a barbarian or fighter, perhaps.  I can remember a color version of the female in particular, perhaps from ads or a 1:1/CYOA book, or one of the BECMI sets (although B&W in them)??

the drawings are definitely judges guild like. I possible may have gotten them from Britain or europe. cannot say for sure. What about City of Brass was there character sheets included>>?Grey

It looks much better and is more clear in person. it looks homemade in scan but in person it does not. It looks too well done to be homebrew (just my opinion)hoping someday someone will have seen or comes across another. definitely a puzzle. I really do appreciate you guys looking in to it thanks for investing your time and intellect !best wishes
