How do I get my players to read the rules? (self.rpg)

I’ve been a DM for many years, and in all that time I’ve had maybe three players read the PHB. I don’t mind explaining the rules, but it would be nice to not have to remind the wizard how spell slots work (again). Is this a common thing for most groups?

I like your soccer analogy. The question is:

  • do you want to play soccer with whoever challenges you? OR
  • do you want to kick a ball around with your friends?

Both are perfectly valid uses for a soccer ball but if the expectations don't align you gonna get problems.
