They just want to play and 5e is great at letting them. In the first few levels they learn their character's abilities, and then by level 5 they're ready to go.One thing I tell people who are into reading the rules and come from other editions is that 5e plays differently than it reads. Play is smooth and quick...and fun.It's this kind of accessibility that has made 5e so popular. I have even seen some people at my tables get interested in DMing for their other friends who don't play RPGs. They have no interest in poring through rules but they don't mind reading a bit of an adventure book at a time and having a go of it. And the thing is, they can do it. Rules mastery is not required. Just a good attitude.WotC want to avoid, rightly, anything that takes away from that.</blockquote>
