Translate a Dungeon Master's Worldbuilding Document Into a Player-Facing Handout
You built a city, a faction, or a dungeon with more lore than the players need and more secrets than they should have. This converts it into a handout: what their characters would plausibly know, a couple of rumours that are true in interesting ways, a sensory detail that makes the setting real, and a hook that invites investigation. Paste the notes and say what the players already know.
