HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT

The Campaign Workbook offers a series of forms designed to help you, the Gamemaster,
develop and organize the materials needed for a long-term roleplaying campaign.

We suggest you print these pages out as needed and hole punch them for use in a three-
ring binder. Most of the forms are self-explanatory but the guide below should help
explain their intended use.

PAGE FORMAT
Each form has a large left margin to allow for hole punching. Along the right margin
you’ll notice an alphanumeric code that is used to organize the pages.

Below that is a box containing the word “of”. Use this box to track the number of each of
that form you’re using. For example, if you’re using three copies of form A5 you would
write “1 of 3”, “2 of 3” and so forth in this box.

As you print more of each form the alphanumeric code will help you with the placement
of that new page in your binder. You also use these codes as shorthand reference for
yourself when making campaign notes or developing adventures. What sections each
letter represents and the specific use of each form is listed below.

SECTION A. – CAMPAIGN BASICS

A1. The basic details of your campaign, including the basic concept, a rough idea
of the campaign’s background, and any overarching plot lines the campaign with
center around.

allow certain rules to be used from those supplement, note those here.

A3. List your table rules. How do you handle missing players? What activities do

players to contest your rulings, etc.)? Any special rules regarding dice rolling (do
you allow die rollers on laptops, cell phones)? How much or little metagaming is
allowed at the table (do you let players talk game mechanics)? How much or little
