Making “Welcome to Eberron” Orientation packets for our new campaign!

We are starting this Monday with a character design night!  Can’t wait to begin.  Having way too much fun just putting the information together.  We get to introduce TWO new people to Eberron and 4th edition DnD!

These look brilliant. (Not to mention I could seriously use one, I can never get enough Eberron.)

Thanks!  To be honest, the whole thing is just photocopies from the Eberron Player’s guide.  For our campaign, we decided that our newbies just needed a few pages of background on the setting.  So the packet is a map of Khorvaire, a map of Eberron, the introduction (p4-5), The Time and History (p19-20), and Across Khorvaire (p12-13). Doublesided.  It’s an easy to digest quantity of information that will give them the basics they need for our particular campaign.

If they pick a particular region of Khorvaire as their origin (assuming they also want to know about the place their character hails from), we’ll also photocopy the info about that region as well, with the usual race/class pages.  For example, I’m playing a Wilden Druid from the Eldeen Reaches, so I printed the “Wilden” and “Druid” pages from the builder and photocopied the p 138-139 on the Eldeen Reaches from the Player’s Guide.

Also: holy crap I love Wilden.  SO. FREAKING. MUCH.

This is a great idea for intro-ing new players into any campaign. Love the concept and if I ever get around to running Eberron again this is exactly what I’d do to help the players transition into 4th Ed.
