Thank you for this. I am not new to gaming but I rarely get basic concepts explained to me … my fault for not asking enough questions, though I often hesitate because I don’t want to slow down the game.

I'm glad you found it helpful, Elise. The dearth of introductory information leaves many to trust assumptions that are usually exaggerated or, if they're bold enough to try, to learn by trial and error.

Yeah there are a lot of assumptions in TTRPGS that can be barriers to new players

What I envision is knocking some of those barriers down a notch. Every experienced player has had that "Dang. This game isn't *nearly* as complicated as I thought it'd be" moment.
