PlaneShift Tabletop

Audience

This is a guide for PlaneShift Roleplay Tabletop ( name to be finalized) , to use the PlaneShift setting in a RolePlay tabletop game. You can gather your friends around a table with old style pen and paper RPG rules.

Game System

PlaneShift Roleplay uses d20 System Edition 3.5, published as open license by Wizard of the Coast. The rules defined here will reference the d20 3.5 manual and its chapters. You can obtain a copy from the internet, example here: http://spongedoc.hu/images/rpg/SRD3.5.pdf . I will probably create a document later on with the full set of rules we need.

Players

You need a Game Master and at least 3 other players. Best is if the players know nothing about PS. If they do, please ask them to forget everything they know.
