This episode is one we made to Help! new players. When you see someone asking questions after picking up the core set, point them to this episode. We tried to address the most common questions we see from new players.

If you are a new player, WELCOME! This really is the greatest community on the internet. We would love for you to listen to the whole show, but if you only want to hear the main new player advice segment it starts around the 50 minute mark.
