The Group Worksheet is a meta-game tool to represent the state of the party and can be thought of as a character sheet for the party. It is meant to be scaling depending on the details of the campaign being run but should always focus on the organizational unit that the characters are most involved with. It can represent just the players, a farm, an organized group, or even something as big as a town if your player characters are town officials.

The worksheet is created using a standard deck of playing cards. Sort the deck by suit and remove jokers, face cards, and aces. This leaves a range of two through ten. Draw four cards and either place them on the Group Worksheet as drawn or debate where each number would make sense based on the game as defined. Once the placement is finalized replace each card with the same number from the designated suit on the Group Worksheet. Discuss what this means for the group and provide examples for why the numbers are what they are represented as.

Opportunity represents the opportunity your group has available. A high number might represent knowledge of resources, a valuable contact that provides hot tips, or arable land for farming.

People represents the health, loyalty, and strength of NPCs that are part of your group. A low number might mean that you have no NPCs that are loyal to you. A high number might represent many NPCs as manpower or a few well skilled NPCs that are extremely loyal to the party.

Resources represent your assets on hand. Vehicles, money, supplies, and weapons are obvious examples of resources. Less obvious examples could be a well stocked library, a hidden base of operations, or claims on land. This is anything that can be exploited to turn opportunities into reality.

Image is how others perceive the party as well as how they see themselves. A high image score can lead to NPCs being willing to do things for the party, trust them with missions, or be unwilling to challenge them. A high image represents a belief that a party is capable and should at least be respected if not liked. A low image tends to cause a perception of incompetence and dislike.
