  This is a game.  You're not really trapped in the Place Without
  Recourse.\footnote{Which is good!} The point is to have fun, so play fair
  and be safe.

  We're the GMs.  We run the game.  Come to us if you have questions.
  We're not actually there, in the game.  We'll wear special badges
  to remind you.

  == Your Character ==

  You're playing a character.  You have a packet with a character
  sheet inside.  It tells you who you are and what your goals are.
  You also have rules and greensheets that tell you how to play the
  game, and a bluesheet or two that tells you about groups that
  you're in.

  Everyone wears a badge so you can tell who people's characters are
  and what they look like.  Otherwise, I might not notice you're a
  prancing pony if you, the player, look like an ordinary
  whippersnapper.

  For most things your character does, just act them out.  Walk around.  Talk
  to people.  Rail against the cruel fates.  For some things your character might
  want to do, you shouldn't do them in real life.\footnote{These things generally
  fall into at least one of these categories: infeasible and dangerous}  Don't
  punch anyone in the face, for example.  The rules and greensheets tell you
  mechanics for how to do some things like these.

  You'll have some other pieces of cardstock in your packet.  Item
  cards are things you have, like Answers, Elements, and ordinary
  objects, which you can give to other people if you want.  Ability
  cards explain things you can do or things you are, which you can't give
  to other people.  They have a side you show when you use them, and a
  side that's just for you.

  == Gamespace ==

  Signs on the wall represent things you see around you.  They might just be a
  description of what you see, or they might tell you a way you can interact with
  the world around you.  We will also have a seperate room just for going on
  quests.
