Google the phrase... a Hipster PDA is a batch of index cards held together with a binder clip with (ideally) a Fisher Space Pen stylus. (I wouldn't know about the latter bit.) There's a bit more to it than that, but that's what's important for this purpose. At the moment, my Fudge "character sheet" is a whatever-that-nifty-Flash- character-picture-maker is picture, printed out on one card for a cover. Behind that, a card with name and attributes, then one for superpowers (it's a superhero game), then one for gifts/faults, one for skills, a couple blank ones for notes, and a semi-disposable one with a hitpoint track on it. I started thinking "put an entire game on index cards, with rules variations on different cards." But then that went to "each stack is a character sheet that contains all the rules necessary for that character (at least) right there." And then, of course, I start thinking "what happens if you scale down from 3x5 to 2.5x3.5," and that starts to get into CCG territory, and nobody wants that. -- Karen J.
