So far the playtests have used a single page character sheet. This has worked well enough so far, but for those characters which need to keep spell lists a single page might be a bit too cramped. Perhaps the spell lists could be moved to their own page? This would make room for a Notes section on the caster character sheets.
I understand wanting to keep the character sheet concise, but perhaps a two page character sheet might be appropriate.
What do you guys think? One page or two?

Re: One or Two Page Character Sheet
Oh, I'll be homebrewing a DCC character sheet, just like I did for 3e/DCC. I'm pretty sure I can keep it down to one page and be practical about it.The DCC RPG Beta is out in June; beta character to sheet to follow, I suspect...

Cool I liked your 3E sheet.

Re: One or Two Page Character Sheet
I'd be interested in a one-page character sheet, particularly if spells will be on seperate pages or cards or something that won't fill up the character sheet anyway.
For my OD&D games I often use a 3x5" notecard. Most of what I need I can fit on one of those. DCC seems to have a few additional details, such as critical hit tables, which might take up more space but other than spells I'd think it would fit on a single sheet of paper.

Re: One or Two Page Character Sheet
I can't imagine an OD&D or B/X character sheet being more than half a page really. Especially if spells don't count. A 1e sheet could easily be a full page with NWPs and other UA artifacts.
