Hi Block Party,
A small preamble, I typically DM once a month a local community center, mostly one-shots for kids anywhere from 10-14 years old. About a month or so ago they got a group together and said they wanted to run a campaign rather than a one-shot, I was completely stoked so I obliged. I wrote a campaign based on the Quest for Glory series which seemed a simple enough campaign for newbies, I thought it would be a really rad idea to actually give the party certain books (more like pamphlets) that they found, since many of them have very little experience with RPGs or some pretty common principles for more experienced roleplayers such as basic information seeking principles or party survival tactics.
I decided to write the adventuring guide from the perspective of a previous character I had run that they had all heard about out of game. I mean for it to be a beginner's guide to adventuring and staying alive while doing it. What I have so far for it is a foreword from the author and that's about it and a few graphics I thought would be cool to work in.
The other "book" is basically a monster manual from a previous adventurer's perspective and gives them the complete ins and outs of the limited monsters they could encounter in random encounters without giving away stat blocks, this idea is a lot more fleshed out, pun intended.
My question to you guys is what would you put in an adventuring guide for a party of new adventurers? But absolutely all feedback is welcome
1,2,3...Adventuring!
