This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Soul's Calling freebie PDF intro guide

Hi all

I'm hoping to run my forthcoming game Soul's Calling during the after-lunch slots on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Indiecon 2011.

In the past when I've reffed other games at Cons (Omnifray and Omnifray Lite), I've had to spend upwards of half an hour at the start of the session just explaining the idiosyncracies of my games, and I would really like to make better use of everyone's time than that.

So, in an effort to cut down the at-Con warm-up time to the barest possible minimum, I've written this free-to-download 16-page intro guide:-

old link may still work:- http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/invitation-to-souls-calling/16131954

new link:- http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/invitation-to-souls-calling/16186289 (version 1.01 slightly edited)

Especially if you're thinking of pitching up to one of my games at Indiecon, but also for other folks, if you have time to read this and give me any feedback, you will earn my personal gratitude. I hope you won't find the roleplaying suggestions patronising - I'm trying to create a very specific feel with this game, and the specific feel I'm aiming for does mean getting people to try a very "am-dram" approach to roleplay.

Hope you like it!

I did not write this but would like to mention it:-

I did however write this Player\'s Quickstarter for the forthcoming Soul\'s Calling RPG, free to download here, and a bunch of other Soul\'s Calling stuff available via Lulu.

As for this, I can\'t comment one way or the other on the correctness of the factual assertions made, but it makes for chilling reading:-
