Covenant-creation worksheet?

Does anyone have a "covenant creation worksheet" akin to the abilities-worksheet for character-creation? In the (unlikely) case you don't know what I'm talking about, it's here:

They seem like similar-enough processes that the method so useful for characters should be just about as useful for Covenants...

Hi
if you are not discouraged by french, here's my own worksheet that I'm using in my sagas.

You'll tell me what do you think about it?

cheers

I´ve used one by JeanMichelle which i found online somewhere and then modified and extended it to cover some more stuff.

The one he mentions in this thread:
https://forum.atlas-games.com/t/covenants-craftsman-bookkeeping-question/3315/5
I´m not sure if it´s on the new website as well, couldn´t find it.

I made a covenant "character" sheet for my own saga. It's in spanish, though, but I could translate it back to english if you're interested. It's got the 3rd edition look to it, though, so that might be a problem with you. Everything's according to 5th edition, nonetheless.

Covenant sheet (PDF in a ZIP file, 893 Kb)

There's nothing to it that's not in the covenant record sheet included with the Covenants sourcebook, a freely available here, so it probably doesn't have any added value to it... Actually the only reason I made it was to have a spanish version.

Metacreator, if you can afford it, is supprisingly useful.

I've really tried to like Metacreator, but it's so .... clunky, by lack of a better phrase. For instance, the way it handles "Magister in Artibus" is just terrible - very unintuitive and user-unfriendly; there's other examples. I've bought the program and I'm still resorting to using a laptop [with my game book pdfs] with a pen-and-paper notepad next to it. Granted, Metacreator is very handy if you have no idea where to find stuff, or if you never need to look up details, but I tend to fall in between those extremes and enjoy mulling over the descriptions of abilities, virtues and flaws as I slowly assemble a character.

Now, I realize that the above is regarding character creation - but would anyone buy it just for covenant creation?

We use it to share a covenant file (via dropbox) - that way everyone can check up on covenant economy or vis shares if they like - or more importantly, the library.
It works quite well.

That's a great idea. You could do it via a Google spreadsheet as well, but this one saves a bit of work setting things up.

We do this too - it also means that you can use advance > study > book > own covenant (which even has nice filters for Arts/ Abilities and Summae/Tractatus) to study the books in your library and XPs will be handled automatically.
Or you can use advance > study > vis and then have metacreator automatically subtract the vis from either your character sheet or the covenant sheet. Just remember to update the covenant sheet every once in a while. :slight_smile:
