>need to read one or more literal textbooks before being able to engage with the gamehonestly that's kinda crazy
you're an ADHD-brained zoomer with his soul rotten from tiktok
>>97235374You don't have to read anything.Just write "gm decides" a sticky note, and that's all anyone will have to read.So go ahead and tell your stories and build your world, because mechanics don't matter.Games are audio books now.
>>97235374Player facing rules being able to fit on a 2 page quick reference is key. Players that can actually read and remember shit is also key.Trusting your gm to handle the rest responsibly is key. Play better games with smarter people. If you can't manage that you're in a hell of your own making.
>>97235374>hobby actually requires an investment of effortOh no how tragic.
>>97235374Learn to read, faggot
>>97235399>tfw only 3 out of 6 people in the group actually understand the game rules, and none of them are the GM.
>>97235374Not at my table. I don't permit a-la-carte character generation (i either give you some ready to go templates with, system agnostic explained, options or i straight ask if you want something particular and build that in your stead) and i run simulationist games or under a simulationist lens, which means i ask you what your character wants to accomplish and then tell you what to roll. Simple and straightforward.>inb4 that's a slog!Only if you run esclusion based gamist shit systems like d&d from 3e onwards. Just don't.
>>97235374>TextbookDoes the 5e PHB even clear 400 pages? Man you zoomers are fucked
>>97235374That's what keeps lesser races away
>>97235612PHB+DMG+MM
>>97235641Why the fuck would you let the players read the dmg or mm? Don't do that.
>>97235641>MMNot only does no one read the MM the book is mostly just stat blocks you flip through
>>97235374>need to readHow horrifying.
>>97235374Yeah, right? Anyway I think you're missing an episode of Stranger Things. And SpongeBob is in Fortnite now!
