When I first started playing Avalon, I turned to the internet for guidance on strategy and found very few resources. I wanted to help the next generation of Avalon players, and the idea for this guide was born.
What started out as a small project (intended to be finished in a weekend) rapidly became something *much more* involved, and the guide took several months, and the assistance of others, to complete.
The guide is *very* long, but the first couple of pages provide an explanation as to how to use the guide. Constructive feedback and comments welcome.
Good luck with the game, and most importantly: have fun!
This file is designed for people that own the game and want to easily teach others.
After performing the Setup steps, start reading out loud the italicized Introduction paragraph.
I found it useful to print a copy and keep it in the game box.

Avalon - dark gothic version with plot cards
all cards, board and tokens
The Avalon audio ritual in Portuguese. No one wants to narrate the initial setup? No worries. Just download this file and play it on your phone/tablet. Made by me and my friend Pessoa. Thumbs up if you enjoy it!
This ZIP file contains 12 mp3s, one for each possible configuration of characters. That is, there is a file for the basic game, a file for using all the optional characters (Percival, Morgana, Mordred, and Oberon), and one for every possible combination in between. Simply use the file appropriate to the setup being used.
These audio files aren't as elaborate as the one uploaded by kookoobah, but they get the job done.
Our friends loved The Resistance: Avalon so much that they made a really awesome pre-game ritual audio file that they play instead of having somebody say the entire thing.
It's super cool and thematic, and it makes sure there are no mistakes in the game setup. Enjoy!

I just edit the file to contain only Merlin

Inspired by kookoobah's post below, here is a German version of the standard pre-game ritual - as well as an extended version for the expansions/promos. The mp3-files were created using computer voice-output and free foley sound-effects. The pronunciation is a little wobbly, but at least no-one has to memorize the text!

I remade the character map made by Kamtai704 with the illustrations of the game. It is in Spanish but it's easily comprehensible by english speakers.

Egy zseniális játékhoz egy zseniális, hiánypótló narráció! Megkértem Varga Gábor barátomat (hivatásos színész, szinkron, reklám- és tévé csatorna hang, gyerekkori bí-ef-ef), hogy készítsen egy profi narrációt a játék kezdéséhez! Remélem sokak örömüket lelik majd benne, és kellően megalapozza majd a hangulatot!

My group didn't like the art of the cards, so I decided to create an LoTR version. I'm also thinking of adding in quests like in the original Resistance game.

Esta versión es para jugadores experimentados que no necesitan detalles ni aclaraciones.
Narración genérica para evitar que el narrador cometa errores y se pueda descubrir su rol.
Incluye detalles para jugadores que han jugado pocas partidas.
Hay dos pausas en la narración por si algún jugador designado quiere decir el número de jugadores que deben abrir los ojos y los que deben levantar el pulgar.
These new identity cards have been play-tested a lot. The set includes a different version of Lancelot, Arthur, Galahad, Guinevere, Tristan, Iseult, Sir Kay, Sir Gawain, Sir Robin, Seer, Queen Mab, the Black Knight, the Green Knight, Niviane, Bagdemagus, Meleagant, and Lucious.
After all the play-testing, Tristan, Iseult, and Sir Kay are some of our favorites we love to play with in that they add a significant change to the game while still feeling like they belong. Niviane is the most fun bad card to play in my opinion. Sir Robin and the Black Knight are also fun and create interesting scenarios and discussions.
This Lancelot variant adds a very intimidating aspect to the game.
Arthur, Galahad, Lancelot, Guinevere, Tristan, Iseult, Sir Kay, Sir Gawain, Sir Robin, and Seer.
All of the ideas came from Demetrius Mavrou's post in the Variants section except for Arthur, Seer, and Sir Robin. I tweaked Galahad and Guinevere after play-testing.
These cards definitely throw off some of the balance of the game, but if you're looking to change things up, these can add a lot of fun and force players to think even harder.
