Running "The Haunting" - Sharing Quick-Start Rules


FloridaPanther

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am running my first game as a GM in a couple nights, by starting with the quick start guide scenario "The Haunting." Some of the players are brand new. I want to share the rules with them, but not share the scenario, so they don't get the keeper info. Is there another quick-start pdf out there that only has the rules, or is the way I can delete pages to share just the rules?

Adobe Acrobat Pro. Failing that, there may be free PDF programs that allow you to trim pages. You can also ask them not to read the scenario. If they can't follow your request, they may not be a good group to game with. Also, you could slightly alter the scenario so that, even if they did read it, they wouldn't know everything.

Yes, most PDF readers let you do it, for example I use Apple's built-in Preview to do exactly that.

Yes, but not what you expect. Book 2 of the CoC Starter has exactly that. Okay so you have to buy it, but you get three excellent beginning scenarios and a solo with it. The solo lets you learn the rules. I give it and the rules to new player to have a go.

If you buy the physical product you get the PDF for free.
