The importance of explaining basic concepts


General Discussion


2 people marked this as a favorite.

Reading the playtest rulebook, I have had the novel experience of an rpg rulebook actually starting with an explanation in simple terms of how tabletop rpgs actually work.

That it actually in clear terms explains the roles of the gm and the players, how the game works, the modes of play, and how the flow of actions works straight up is very good.

Most rpg books seem to assume a lot of knowledge on the part of players and gms, so seeing everything spelled out from the start, and things arranged in a hierarchical way with clear definitions is very refreshing.
