OD&D character sheet for new players

This is a character sheet I created for a game I ran at GottaCon in March 2014 using the Dungeons & Dragons booklets from 1974, recently reprinted by Wizards of the Coast.  I advertised the game as an homage to a classic and, anticipating that some players might be unfamiliar with old-school practices, wanted a character sheet that explained as much as possible.  I also wanted a sheet that might be appealing and useful to younger players, three of whom showed up at the table.
