Finally trying out Helldivers 2, played with random players, said I was new and the veteran players gave advice no grief. Looking forward to more.

Do your GM a favor and forward them this cheat sheet
A game that has “success with consequence” has a potential outcome of a roll IMO should have something like this in printable form for the GM to use during play.

Coming up with consequences is hard, please let’s help the GM playing our games !

Games UX Research Tip:

Players like to feel in control. To feel like they have autonomy

This can be misinterpreted as giving players as much hands off freedom as possible

But feeling lost/confused also makes people feel out of control

Structure & guidance can help feelings of control
