>>96083390>No one starts out GM so raw.Except, you know, actual newfags.
>They will then just magically figure it out on their own, you knowWhich brings us back to original point that you continue to miss: majority of books don't explain how to play their own games.
>Ive never met a gm that didnt play a game as a player first.This will probably shock you, given how dumb you are, but someone has to tell you those things
- if nobody runs, then you can't be a player first
- your personal experiences aren't universal, objective truths
>Youd have to go back to original dnd way back when to find that level of isolation in gamingOr you could just find random 3-5 kids that want to get into this whole tabletop RPG thing and none of them played before, you amazing moron.
Which is what I'm dealing with on regular basis at least once per six game meet-ups in a youth club, where I run every single fucking Wednesday an open table for the past 19 years. I'm doing it in a large conurbation, to kids that were born after wideband internet access, and they are completely fucking clueless. Especially the ones that decided to "prep" and read the rules of the game I'm running that week.
>b-but everyone knows what those games are and how to play themFrom where? Ever occured to you not everyone consumes the same media, operates in the same social and internet bubble, read the same books and hangs with the same kinds of people? Or I'm asking from you too much to imagine right now, because you are still stuck in that one-room dwelling, heavy with the musk of sweated bodies in the hot, summer air?
