People also tend to vastly overestimate how difficult the game is to learn. They hear that it's "complicated werewolf", but the starting edition is taught in about 5 minutes and is basically "learn as you go," between having the script in front of you and a Storyteller to ask questions as needed.

I try to avoid Clocktower discussion on Reddit in general (I often fail at this), but I have especially learned to avoid madness discussions there especially. It's genuinely awful, lol.

Losing weight has definitely helped me storytell in person better. It can be very hard on the feet!
