DMs - what do you put in your campaign packets?

[lgburton]

Cyanide pills.

wait, i thought i was supposed to keep those behind the DM screen for those... special... occasions.

You folks are sure organized. I've never had a GM hand out any kind of campaign packet. We usually get an email about character creation and that's it.

Seconded on that!

Thirded on that!

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

Let's see -

-Intro, with brief explanation of setting and starting location.
-Rules on rolling up characters
-house rules in use, and sources for them
-available races, with rule info and brief history/where they live and what they do in my world
-class info, including non-core classes, variant classes, and some flavor background for all of the above
-Religion notes, including domains, etc. and some history.

I also keep a forum online where I post lots of stuff on history, timelines, and so on.

I have basic world info, details on the starting kingdom, infor on gods, well known NPC's, house rules. ( i need to add table rules). I also as the players to write up a little infor on the character they are playing, the characters wants, needs, fears, why they are adventuring, ect..

LOL, thanks the interest is flattering. I suspect I have expectations raised a little too high. I have tried to upload it as an HTML file, which is not permitted (which is odd). I've tried loading it as a Word doc file too, but the sucker just hangs with an "Attachment in progress" message. I'll see what I can do.

If you email it to me, I can PDF it.

I usually make a webpage with appropriate background info, known NPCs and organizations, (I generally prefer to have the PCs know each other before the campaign), house rules and clarifications, and general information on how I intend to run it.

If you email it to me, I can PDF it.

If it's easier to email it Felon, you can also send me a Word doc copy.
