Contents section

Hey! The Contents section is roughly divided into two sections: one for the Player's Guide, and one for the DM's guide. I think it would be good to include the phrase "Dungeon Master's Guide" in the first sentence of the second paragraph to make that clear. Since I don't have access to this gazetteer, I was wondering if I could get some clarification on the current first two sentences of that paragraph:

The booklet covers orcish shamans, important humanoid leaders, campaigning in the Broken Lands, and an adventure scenario. The gazetteer includes rules for adaptation to AD&D, and rules for a simple orc-conquest boardgame.

What does it mean by "booklet"? Which booklet? Are those things in the Player's Guide, or the DM's Guide? Regards. Braincricket (talk) 02:23, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The Orcs of Thar" contains two booklets: one titled "Players' Guide" and one titled "Dungeon Master's Booklet". Each booklet has its own pull-out section. The "Players' Guide" includes an overview of the Broken Lands, character creation rules, and a character sheet. The "Players' Pull-Out Section" include rules for adaptation to AD&D, an index, and "Thar's Manual of Good Conduct". The "Dungeon Master's Booklet" gives a history of the humanoids and details on shamans, important humanoid leaders, details of the orcish city Oenkmar, campaigning in the Broken Lands, and an adventure scenario. The "Dungeon Master's Pull-Out Section" includes the board game "Orcwars!". If you need any more clarification, I can look further. BOZ (talk) 03:37, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TYVM! I will incorporate that into the article in a bit. Cheers. Braincricket (talk) 03:39, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing; the article is already close to splitting the paragraphs between PG and DMB, so just a bit of mixing around while taking care to keep the citations correct should do the job! BOZ (talk) 03:44, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
