A barrier to entry is a barrier to ... getting in.It is NOT a "once I'm in, I want to learn more".So basically, everything you were saying up there has nothing to do with a barrier to entry.  It has to do with system mastery once you're in the game.Unless you are talking about everyone doing it before they started, in which case we already discussed that's not reality. But I figured I'd remind you. Because you meander over both sides on that line in what you wrote after it.I am all for once people have played a session or three and deciding that they do really want to take this up as a hobby graduating from the free Basic Rules, buying the Player's Handbook and learning all about it. Never said I wasn't.I was talking about that first hook, trying to get someone into the hobby deep enough that they want to take it up. I've gone fishing several times. Each time I borrowed what I needed. I didn't invest in a rod and reel before I knew if I liked the pasttime. And it wasn't for me. But it could have been. And I wouldn't have known if there were significant barrier to entry put in front of trying it.</blockquote>
