Delving & Exploration Outline

This update was motivated by the latest DD5 Supporters; Highbowf, Sean M. Kelly, Dan Cullinan, and Bill Lackey. Great to have you along!

Delving & Exploration is DD's Wilderness & Underworld Adventures analog (notionally "the ref's booklet"). The 3LBBs have an undeniable charm but lack the kind of organisation that modern readers expect. However, getting DD5's book 2 better organised is a vexing process as there is no "right" answer, and every variation simply favours one priority over others.

After years of changing it up many times, here's how I now think it will shape up:

1. Preface

2. Contents

3. Fantastic Medieval Wargames

   1. Organisation

   2. Referee's Intro

4. Preparing for the Campaign

   1. The Known World

   2. Wilderness Preparation

   3. Town Preparation

   4. Underworld Preparation

5. Moderating the Adventure

   1. Harzards

   2. Underworld Adventures

   3. Monster Reaction to Players

   4. Fantastic Medieval 1:1 Scale Battles

   5. Wilderness Adventures

6. Moderating the Campaign

   1. Player Characters

   2. Non-Player Characters

   3. The Campaign Turn

7. Far Horizons

   1. Other Worlds

   2. Artifacts

There are still a few details to be resolved, but I think this works pretty well as it addresses the referee's likely workflow.

Next steps are to move slabs of text around, starting from the top and working my way down...
