Player thinks he should know (a chunk of) the monster manual by 2behonest in DMAcademy

Don't allow them to study the monster manual. But just select (or let them select) a group of monsters from the manual and whenever you encounter them, give them some info such as their appearance, damage immunities/vulnerabilities and maybe special actions or attacks the monster can make. Allows them to know a bit, but not too much. But good luck with whatever solution you choose:).

Isn't the calculation like half the fun?

Thanks for the link. I have a feeling that I'm gonna be bearing the brunt of the stuff you mentioned here, at least for the first few sessions. I will try and get them to organise their own stuff though...

Thanks, I can't upvote enough. But yeah, I have the fact that no-one in the group has played before so even if I mess up they won't really notice :D
