Forbidden Lands Players Handbook

START PLAYING!
You can start playing Forbidden Lands quickly. The Gamemaster should familiarize
herself with both the Player’s Handbook and the Gamemaster’s Guide, but for
the players it is enough to familiarize themselves with the basics in this book.
1. You start by creating your player characters. Grab a character sheet and
follow the instructions in Chapter 2 of this book.
2. Discuss together where on the map you want the game to begin. A good
place to start is The Hollows village, an adventure site described in the
Gamemaster’s Guide. Under the GM’s direction, you choose which symbol for
VILLAGE on the map should represent The Hollows in your specific campaign.
Another option is to start the game out in the wilderness, perhaps already
on your way to an enticing ruin in the distance...
When both these steps are completed, you can start playing!
