One Day I Will Return To Your Side.
I talked to some friends, we might actually give a table RPG a try, I'm thinking of getting the starter set for Wrath and glory to dip our toes into this thing, take note, I am very much a beginner into the world of D&D style experiences and games, and generally I'll be the DM for this, and I'm a big fat idiot, do you recommend Wrath and Glory? this starter set seems like a good deal at $40:-

or is this the trick they do where the actual rules and stuff you need is in the core rules book and this doesnt cover the bases you need to play the game or DM a campaign?

From what I'm reading online, Imperium Maledictum seems like it's infinitely more complex, and the barrier of entry cost-wise is higher, I dunno, any advice?

So our regular TTRPG group has just started a W&G campaign and it's a great system. The starter set doesn't have the core rulebook, and you'll definitely want one or two of those. You can use any DM screen, but the starter set one is nice. You can use any D6s, and I'm biased as our group makes our own characters instead of pre-gen ones. so I've found that unless you really want the included adventure and DM screen, you're better off spending your money on other kits instead.

my recommendations would be...

1-2x of the Core Rulebook (for the rules obviously)
1x Redacted Records (adds a lot of options)
1x Litanies of the lost (4 fantastic adventures that you can run through at tier 1-2)

If you're still feeling spendy, only then would I consider the starter set.

Thanks man.

Why would you need more than one copy of the core rules?

how often do the other players need to look at the rulebook? theres no datasheet cards or something like that? if I get a DM screen will that suffice while they have the main book?

I suppose I could get a hardcopy, then download the PDF that comes with it to my iPad and let the players have the actual book. Seems to be sold out though so I'll look around and see.

No they had some terrible misprints and recalls. It's hard to find because they're very bad at their jobs.

Ah ok so i guess in a few months they'll re-release fresh copies.
