Where extended open-rules readers compare notes
Discussion norms and pointers—not an exhaustive directory of every Discord on earth.
Motifs can brief a night. They are not a shopping list you must empty onto the table.
If a documentation habit slows every paste without improving accuracy, simplify it.
Norms worth copying
- Label spoilers for freshly released adventures.
- Separate rules questions from horror/bleed talk when tone is heavy.
- Credit freelancers when you share layouts or tools.
- Assume good faith; escalate to mods instead of pile-ons.
Date your reference stack order and teaching diffs. Co-authors inherit documentation.
One-page citation checklist. Repeat questions get ink—then still verify primary terms.
Good extended open-rules literacy nights are built from procedures and shared expectations, not from hoarding every PDF. This desk emphasizes clarity over collectible hype.
Track stack order, teaching diffs, and attribution lines. That trail is the craft.
Readable stacks and clear links beat pretty PDFs with broken cites.
Primary SRD texts and publisher legal pages beat anonymous 'extended SRD download' claims.

Use SRD crate/fast/epics siblings for shorter paths; stay here for longer explainers.
Keep notes short enough to reread before a session. Long wikis that nobody opens are not preparation; they are archaeology.
When in doubt, run the smaller scenario, teach one procedure well, and leave room for player ideas that were not in your outline.
