I just wanna start DMing a game and I need to buy $150 in books to do so? The fuck.

Edit: Lots of people telling me to play other systems. Here’s what’s up:

I want to play a 1-on-1 game with my wife
I’ve never DMed before
She’s never played a TTRPG, so this would be her introduction
She’s been reading a lot of fae-related fantasy, which has me thinking she may want to play roleplay heavy with some fae storylines present
Ideally the system wouldn’t be too crunchy or combat focused

Edit 2: I’ve spoken with her and she actually wants a more modern setting

Fate is a simple system, not very combat focused, and everything should be available here https://fate-srd.com/fate-core/basics

shakes fist at funny dice

(fate is fine)

(this makes me want to write a system again, though I tend towards wargames as far as rules go)
