I’ve been a DM for many years, and in all that time I’ve had maybe three players read the PHB. I don’t mind explaining the rules, but it would be nice to not have to remind the wizard how spell slots work (again). Is this a common thing for most groups?
@ParanoidAndroid @DrakeRichards yeah, so far I’ve never had it get to the point where I had to kick someone out, luckily. But in general I agree, and I offer to my players to go over the rules together and learn/teach.
So far, most players haven’t developed the system mastery I’d have loved to see (because I wanna see all the cool moves!), but they all learned enough to play without slowing us down and able to express their character in the game.
