Because hopefully the GM is someone who knows how to play the game and its
the players who are new. If you're going to GM you might as well get the
whole rulebook. But I'm working on getting a friend of mine to play, and
I'd love to giver her a little 20-30 page booklet to read over and get the
idea of the game and decide if she likes it. Right now, she's interested
but intimidated by the whole big book that she would have to look over for
the basic rules.
