Hey Baxter- so this is a tabletop roleplaying game, similar to games like Dungeons & Dragons! :) It's designed so that you can play it alongside a group friends. One player runs the game, creating the plot and controlling the events, while the other players create a player character, and act as the heroes of the story, reacting to events and fighting enemies!
With the guide and character sheets, that's everything you need to play. If you want to see an example of play, check out here:
