New Player Packets

[Lilythe]

So... I'm a bit of a "Dungeon Mom" as the other players at my store have noted. And I have a tendency to over-prepare for scenarios and my players. I also bring cookies lol

That being said, one of my favorite things I've done is create a "New Player Packet" for the players who start their society adventures at my store.

I give them:
Their Society ID Number (event cards)
A Guide to Getting Started in our area (includes directions to sign up on our Warhorn)
Character Sheets
Inventory Tracker
Chronicle Zero
Welcome to Pathfinder Boon
Combat Cheat Sheet
Faction Cards (one of each)
What Happens if my Character Dies? (guide to navigating how that works in Society)
A list of advice/information I wish people would have told me when I started
A sticker (to be redeemed for free dice on their second game, in the meantime they can use their own or loaners)

Additionally I bring:
Spare pencils
Spare dice
Pregens

Just in case we don't have time to build a character before we start.

That being said, I feel like I'm missing something... Is there anything else nifty that my fellow GMs bring to the tables for their new members?

It's basically just a sheet that has some of the society specific information -- like magic item purchasing -- rules in a convenient and easy to reference sheet so they don't have to reference the manual every time

That is a beautiful document. Mind if I borrow some of the sections that mine is missing? I'll credit you! <3

If you look at PFS Prep, you will also find a link to everything that the Minnesota Lodge puts in a new player packet!

Thanks Hilary!

[Hmm]

You're welcome!

New player packets are awesome! They really speed up introducing new players to Organized Play!

We (Minnesota) also have one for Starfinder. No fancy link or anything but it is similar to the PFS folder.

[Hmm]

They've even color-coded them. Blue for SFS, Red for PFS.

Hmm

Awesome! I have a couple people interested in SFS but not enough for a table yet. Working on it though!
