This is a character sheet I made at Creation Flame’s Empowerment Retreat at the beginning of January. Besides breaking a board and an arrow, we created sheets that could track the progress of our “Avatars.”
At the top of mine, I wrote the maxim of a designer I have enormous respect and appreciation for. His wholistic goal is, “To be of maximum benefit to the most creatures for the longest time possible with minimum effort.”
