Just be aware, there is a lot of lore. Over fifty years worth of lore. But you don't need to know all of it, in the same way that if you were running a modern day game set in Michigan you wouldn't need to know the history of South Korea or the mythology of Equatorial Guinea. Or even all the history of Michigan!

If you do decide to go forward with RQG, let me also recommend Six Seasons In Sartar available from DriveThruRPG. It starts player characters off in a small valley in the Dragon Pass area, just before their initiation into a cult. They're all from the same tribe, so they know and (hopefully) trust each other, and it expands from very small, cozy beginnings, through another two volumes, into active participation in world-changing events.

Fuck yeah, lots of lore is really up my alley. I dig what you’re saying, it sounds really awesome to be able to take my time and always find some new bits of lore. Like middle earth is my jam but I’ve kind of exhausted all that I can uncover from it so it’s great that this game has such deep lore. It’ll be a fun journey to slow burn on all of it.

Excellent suggestion, I’ll get that once I get through the starter set. I like the idea of growing out from a small beginning just so the game doesn’t feel too overwhelming at the get go. The vast amount of everything could make it a little hard to find a starting point so I’m really liking that suggestion. Looks like my order arrives tomorrow so I’ll be jumping on into the game once it arrives, I’m very excited for it.

Thanks for all the help, and this post, for that matter. I’ve really been wanting to find a tabletop that calls out to me and this all found me organically so I’m going with it.
