Thanks for purchasing!

These reference sheets are formatted for 8.5" x

11" paper, though they should work with A5 size
- there would just be a larger white border around
the information. The intent of these charts is to
be used with landscape-style Storyteller/GM
screens with insert pockets, either homemade or
one of the several brands available for purchase.
The charts included can be tri-folded to display
only the information you may desire (with the
exception of Weapons & Armor, and you may
wish to print two copies if you want the
Traditions together. Though I guess you could
always cross-fold).
