[QUOTE="payn, post: 9270951, member: 90374"] It's going to vary. My Battletech groups often have to reference books because there are many rules that only come up once in a blue moon. We got one cat that has an encyclopedic knowledge of the game in his head and everyone just marvels at it. As a GM I try to make sure and be up on all and any rules im going to be using in any given session. As a player, I think its good tact to know at least the rules related to your PC and how to carry them out to lower GM load. I think part of the issue is selling books vs putting the info online. Much of the Battletech rules can be found on the Sarna website but not everything (just like 5E SRD). Do you sell a stripped down reference manual and then a beefy lore book? I think companies are trying to figure that out. I think they should lean harder on miniatures, game aids, and adventure sets.
