remove a lot of the OG extra content and similar references
these are things that are not included in the core commons version
because they're homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity
that I don't feel comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on. most of
Old Gus's and the community's content is removed in order to have a
near-CSRD state

what remains is the rules clarifications, errata, splicing together some
information from secondary sources (like the Starter Set or from game
authors on Twitter), and organizational assists

things removed includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my
own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying
verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't
need to advocate for a different one

stuff that's likely to get folded into my core is arbitrarily numbered
300s instead of 000s

-This section has been added by the editor based on Teaching The Rules [(426)]{.og-ref} [Cypher System
-Rulebook](https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/cypher-system-rulebook-2/){.og-icon .og-mcg}. It explores some
-collected advice on streamlining the process of teaching new players. It's generally a good idea to get players to read
-through [Chapter 3: How to Play the Cypher System](#chapter-3-how-to-play-the-cypher-system), the [Cypher System
-Reference Rules Primer](https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/cypher-system-rules-primer/){.og-icon .og-mcg}. You
-might also want to go over Monte Cook Games' [Consent in
-Gaming](https://www.montecookgames.com/store/product/consent-in-gaming/){.og-icon .og-mcg} checklist individually with
-each player.

-It's common for players to take a little while to learn the Cypher System\'s vocabulary for game mechanics, especially
-if they've already played other games that have a different vocabulary. When you mention a game mechanic like [recovery
-rolls](#recovery-rolls) or [the damage track](#the-damage-track), take a moment to define those terms, and point out
-where that information is located on the PC's [character sheets](#og-cscs).
-
-It's also a good idea to let players know a little bit about what to expect about the game\'s genre and setting. The
-[Campaign Design Checklist](#campaign-design-checklist) can help you organize your thoughts and communicate them to
-players. This helps players know who their PC is, and a little bit about what kinds of stories to expect.
