Game Play Aids

Game play aids are the tools, sheets, and boards used in tabletop games.

Armored Reckoning Playmat

Playmat for Armored Reckoning, evoking an annotated aerial photo battle plan

John designed this playmat to be the central play surface of the playing-card-based tactical roleplaying game Armored Reckoning. Players use it to track terrain and movement, campaign progress, and crew morale during engagements. It is designed to print on a single tabloid sized sheet (11 by 17 inches) or on two letter sized sheets (8.5 by 11 inches).


Tabletop Blockbuster Character Sheets

Tabletop Blockbuster character sheets

John designed these two-sided character sheets for the Tabletop Blockbuster action roleplaying game. They fold over during play to give players access to information they might need from the reverse, without forcing the player to flip away from the most relevant information.
