Practical guides for extended open-rules reading
Longer notes you can skim before teaching or citing.
One-page citation checklist. Repeat questions get ink—then still verify primary terms.
Session zero for extended open-rules literacy
Agree stack order and teaching diffs before anyone pastes a mechanic publicly. Do not invent an extended edition.
Clocks, resources, and pacing
Documentation hygiene is the clock: primary link, attribution block, closed-fiction check.
NPC and faction sheets that stay small
Keep reference sheets thin: mechanic name, SRD section, house note. No fake edition banners.
Teaching the table without a lecture
Teach only the diff from a player's last game. Glossary for stack vocabulary; then verify a cite.
Talk teaching diffs and commercial boundaries before you paste into a public doc.
If a documentation habit slows every paste without improving accuracy, simplify it.
Date your reference stack order and teaching diffs. Co-authors inherit documentation.
Leave room for careful questions. Extended literacy improves when people admit uncertainty.
Primary SRD texts and publisher legal pages beat anonymous 'extended SRD download' claims.
