International Tabletop Day and a LotFP Cheat Sheet

International Tabletop Day falls on April 28th this year, and I will be celebrating this year by attempting my first ever foray into the OSR. My plan is to run Skerples' excellent Tomb of the Serpent Kings using Lamentations of the Flame Princess. Deciding between LotFP and Dungeon Crawl Classics was agonizing, but my players typically land on the lazy side and I feel DCC demands a bit more than they would enjoy.

Anyway, in the tradition of The Alexandrian's RPG Cheat Sheets, I decided to make one for LotFP. It was a three-pronged endeavor to create I could easily reference at the table if needed without slowing down play (much), to perform a somewhat deeper dive into the rules of LotFP than I've attempted previously, and finally to familiarize myself with Pages as layout software.

Page 1 contains explanations of Ability Scores, Skills, and Healing/Damage.
Page 2 covers the Adventuring section.
Page 3 features most of the Encounters and Combat sections.
Page 4 is pretty much just all of the Encumbrance tables copy pasted.

I omit the rules for maritime adventures and retainers, as well as all of the lists for equipment (and as such, armor/shield values, weapon damage/effects, etc). Those sections seemed like they wouldn't be as pressing at the table, but I suppose I'll find out soon enough! I also used "GM" instead of "Referee" to save space, so hopefully that won't be too grating.

If a Lamentations of the Flame Princess cheat sheet might be useful to you, feel free to view/download it. I'm open to feedback if you think it's missing anything vital (like, say, weapons and armor tables!), but I doubt I'd be able to add anything new while maintaining the current page count.
