I just want to go back to the time it was considered rude to play at a table more than a month or two without cracking the book and learning the rules on your own time.

I can't even make a character without consulting three different rule books to optimize for role play.

How do you optimize for role play? And why would it need rules consultation?

I like in-universe explanations and using game mechanics that support my character choices. For example, say I'm building a rogue character that's an experienced assassin, but why would they still be at level 1, or even 3? Maybe they've never actually killed anyone but they're very good at "disappearing" people with poisons and potions, so they'd take medicine and/or nature as a skill. So maybe now we have an "assassin" that secretly helps people flee town by faking their deaths and I see what can be done with potions, herbs, medicines, magic, etc.

you don't skim the book before your first session!?

I hate the 21st century.
