[DAT]

Hi All,
I’m preparing for running a game at a convention in February, and am working on the Character Packets for the Pre-Gens. The game is a GURPS DF adventure. Below is my outline for the packets. The idea is that I’ll have a one page quick pick list with a list and brief description of each of the Pre-Gens, then these packets would be in folders that I hand out after players choose the pre-gen they want to run.

Some Questions:
1. How does the packet outline look?
2. Anything missing from the packet outline?
3. Anything look like it isn’t needed or useful?
4. Does it make sense to move the Setting and Adventure Background from page 2 to somewhere latter in the packet, even the very end?
5. For the Character Background, does a short outline, or couple paragraphs make more sense?

I appreciate your help. Thanks.
-Dan
