Message: <blockquote data-quote="77IM" data-source="post: 7573711" data-attributes="member: 12377">I love making player handouts! Colville is right, they should be short and sweet.  Mine tend to run closer to 4-8 pages, but over the years I've been making them shorter and shorter, as I learn what players actually care about.Since we're sharing, here are some of my campaign-intro handouts:The last campaign I ran was Monster Town: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/1qbgm2ifybsezko/Monster%20Town%20v6.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">MonsterTown Intro</a>. During the first session, in order to set the tone, I had each player fill out an <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/nmoaiyugsxndy56/EntryForm.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">Entry Form</a>.The previous campaign I ran was the Holdenshire Chronicles (available from EN Publishing!): <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/y1n9z6082expafh/Holdenshire%20Chronicles.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">Holdenshire Chronicles Intro</a>. I also created a handout for the broader campaign world, the <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n3v0b7nn7n6amx/Enchanted%20Kingdoms.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">Enchanted Kingdoms</a>, but told the players that they really only had to read page 3 ("Magic" and "Races").The campaign before that was Princes of the Apocalypse: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/86kkbmtz6j33jxr/PotA%20Campaign%20Intro.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">PotA Campaign Intro</a>. (As an aside, I find it interesting that most of the House Rules in that document did not survive contact with the enemy.)The first campaign handout I made was for an M&M game called SAGA; it's actually not a PDF but a <a href="http://www.wjs3.com/saga/" target="_blank">web page</a>.The next campaign I intend to run is Pirates & Privateers: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ntp7gqqtnz26y3p/Privateers.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">P&P Handout</a>. Finally, down to one page!!!</blockquote>
