Yeah everything about this RPG looks amazing, but the lack of any of hoomans around who'd be willing to play it with me is one of the big reasons I haven't gotten it yet (or any other tabletop RPGs, for that matter).
On a related note, as someone who's never actually bought or played any tabletop RPGs and thus is a noob in their ways, what would be the benefit of getting this starter kit when the main game already came out last year? Is it just like a "demo" version of the game or something? If you bought the starter kit would it then be a waste of money to buy the full version afterwards? Or similarly, if you just got the main game would the starter kit not even be something you would have to consider getting?
