Edit sorry I was way to vague and bad explained question. But great explanation everyone.

If you start playing as a player in a homebrew world that I built. How little information would you feel needed to be able read before you can build a character in it?

I have been planing to start looking for players soon but I struggling as I don’t want to give them a whole novel of mostly boring lore dump but sending them like two sentients feels just silly.

Not to mention would you as a player like reference to other mediums so you could quickly know what to expect or would you rather have a in game view of it?

    Have your characters be from Somewhere Else and and make being in a strange place part of the story and any “lack of info” becomes a feature instead of a bug.

    I would like to play an insurance agent on vacation, and I would like a familiar that carries all of my things
