Player Handout for Dark Ages Campaign

As part of alleviating my worries of players rising to lynch me when I don't know the finest arcane tidbits of 1E/OSRIC, I've put out this Player Handout to give to the players prior/at the game.

What do you think? What do you put in your player handout?

I think it looks pretty good. There's a fine line between so little information as to be useless and so much that you can't find anything specific (and, frankly, most players won't read all the way through), and you seem to have found it.

I'd say a rough map wouldn't hurt, but that's just me. (And unless they cough up some gold, I'd say a VERY rough map.)

I'm looking forward to reading tales from the table!

Thanks for the feedback!

The rough map is up on the wiki - that's about as good as it gets for now. That one is a freebie because it's what is carved into the wall in the tavern in Enonia.

Oh, yeah, that's exactly the sort of map I meant! That, together with the handout, is just about the perfect amount of material for a new player to grasp.

That's perfect. Not too much, but enough to give an idea what's going on. I salute you, fellow d30er!

@Will/Zachary - thank you both for the positive feedback!

One of my players has seen it and liked it, so I guess I'm doing good.
