One is a general "How to make a character" overview (chapter 0) and the other is a little info about the setting and general conceit for campaigns run in the setting.The problem is, I find it really hard to figure out what people may need or want to know before joining a game. I get a little too close and a little lost in the weeds (for example, pretty sure I don't need any of the detailed political info about the Republic of Makrinos). Leaving aside the fact that the setting info is too long at 2 and a half pages and assume that any mechanical questions are answered in the specific chapters on classes, people, and backgrounds, what is missing? What would you want to know? What is confusing?I am trying to keep it generic with the understanding that specific campaigns in the same setting might have different themes and approaches. I tend to run a kind of guided sandbox style, but have (and would again) run much more focused campaigns around a tighter theme or plot.Anyway, thanks ahead of time for anyone who actually reads this and gives some feedback about what else you'd want to know or what is unclear.Setting info:[MEDIA=googledrive]19oDZp8JhgrLINNYLL7J5IL2-f8HEl0rX[/MEDIA]Character Creation Chapter:[MEDIA=googledrive]18xtyk7WFwi_9R4Q5npZHDT32UzXDebKf[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
