So now that the hardcovers are rolling in, I'm setting to work creating a bookmark in the style of the one included in the CoC 5th Edition and Elric! GM Screen packs. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, its basically a standard bookmark with condensed index of important topics to running the game on one side. I always thought it was an ingenious idea and have sought to replicate it in almost every RPG I've played since.

When its done, I'll post it up for everyone to download and print. In the meantime, what do the rest of you find yourself referencing the most during play? There are a bunch of ways to go with this and it really isn't beholden to the existing ToC or Index as far as I'm concerned. Here is a list of the topics I figure need hitting. You'll notice I'm leading with the "Playing the Game" at this stage.

Playing The Game
Combat
    Defenses
    Combat Modifiers
    Movement
    The Combat Round
      Stances
      Actions
    Injury and Death
      Fear
    Limiting Conditions
Witch Hunter Adversaries
    Minions
    Villanous Talents
    Threat Powers
    Threat Prices
    Story Abilities
    Sample Themes

Witch Hunters
Advancement
Flaws
Skills
Talents
Fighting Traditions
Hero Points/True Faith/Damnation
Wealth & Equipment
    Weapons Tables
    Weapon Tricks
    Armor Table
Circles of Sorcery

Here are some images of the original inspiration that might help give perspective on the project.

And here is the final version. Print it on some fancy cardstock and laminate it for best results. I've provided a bit of space at the top to hole-punch it and add a ribbon.

Thanks, Eric.

I dressed it down quite a bit from my original draft – I needed the space and didn't want to kill any ink cartridges. I'm hoping it comes in handy for folks running the game; should keep us from having to keep flipping between the Index and ToC to find things.

If folks are interested, I can do a color version that's a bit more stylized.

Tom
