=== Goldensword Specific ===

GMing a GoldenSword campaign? Here are some handy links (bookmark this page). These are the types of things you might want to print off for your [[wp>Gamemaster's screen]].

and some Goldensword Rules of Thumb
  * adventures should yield approx 20 to 50 XP per session. This will allow a reasonable pace for [[character progression]]. We recommend the "everyone gets 50 XP" approach, rather than splitting hairs about "who did exactly what" and "who delivered the killing blow" and all that junk. [[more about XP]]
  * build magic books into your loot. this is critical for [[magic:magic#learning spells]]. Sometimes they should be plot elements and obtainable from NPCs.
