The second would be any setting-specific doodads (for example, PEG sells a set of power cards for arcane powers in the generic Savage Worlds rules, and the Deadlands boxed set includes some more for the powers that are specific to the setting). But after that, I think the next thing I'd include would be loresheets: loose pages that have non-secret information on a particular thing in the setting that you can give to players whose characters are associated with that thing. For example, a hypothetical Eberron box might have loresheets for each of the major religions (the Sovereign Host, the Dark Six, the Blood of Vol, the Silver Flame, and maybe the Undying Court and the Path of Light), one for the Dragonmarked houses (either one per, or in aggregate), and one for each nation. The goal here would be to provide an intermediate amount of information, somewhere between a "whet your appetite" paragraph and a section of a sourcebook. They shouldn't have secret information, but perhaps more "uncommon" lore. A more in-depth accessory could have more in-depth lore sheets – if the core Eberron box has a loresheet on Breland, a Breland accessory could have loresheets on individual regions, on how their parliament works, on noble families, and so on.</p></blockquote><p></p>
