In the beginning there was nothing.
God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a lot better. |

- Running the Game
- The Adventure Guide’s purpose is to:
- Adventure Guide’s Handbook: Arcana
- Arcana in The Adventure Guide’s Handbook
- Optional Rules
- Gods & Monsters is a fairly simple game. But it’s easy to add or modify rules if you want to change the way it works. You will usually want to stick with the normal rules for beginning players. Once the players are familiar with the game, you and your group can decide whether you want to use any additional rules.
- Adventure of the Empty House
- This relatively simple adventure will likely cover only one or two gaming sessions, and can be used to introduce your players to the game. Important features include the introduction of an important city (Crosspoint), and an introduction to the horrors waiting to crawl up from the underground.
- Open Source License
- Because Gods & Monsters has been released under the GNU Free Documentation License, you can use it as you wish—within the constraints of the license. You can, for example, create custom versions of the rulebook or Lore books to hand out to your players, and you can even make these available on the Internet for potential players to download. The main restriction is that your custom versions must also be released under the FDL.
