I'm really excited to start Everline! I've always wanted to try TTRPGs, but finding a group can be difficult when you're really shy. I'm starting with the demo, but I plan to play through all 3 campaigns. However I seem to be stuck on "rolling for step". When I read through the numbers for the story it seems best to do all of them. Could anyone perhaps ELI5? Thanks in advance! <3

Thank you for expressing your excitement about starting Everline! We appreciate your interest in trying out TTRPGs and understand that finding a group can be challenging, especially for shy individuals. Rest assured, you’ve made a great choice by beginning with the demo.
As you read the story, you might come across numbers. These numbers are called steps. When it says to “roll for step,it’s a simple process that allows your character to move forward a certain number of steps, typically ranging from 1 to 4. Let’s say you roll the dice and get a 3. That means your character moves forward three steps in the story. Sometimes, the story might have different options or choices, and you can decide what your character does next.
When you see the magnifying glass icon, it means you have to stop at this section even if your dice roll goes past it. You must stop and focus on that part, just like using a magnifying glass to look closely at something.
At this point, you have a few options: You might be given a quest or a mission to complete. This means you have a special task to do in the game. You might also have the option to go shopping. This is like visiting a special store in the game where you can buy cool things for your character, like new clothes, weapons, or magical items. It’s a chance to get some special gear to help you in your journey.
The demo set is designed to provide a brief introduction to the game, featuring fewer steps that can be completed relatively quickly. On the other hand, the other two sets consist of 70+ and close to 100 steps respectively, which may take longer to play through. They offer more extensive gameplay experiences for those looking to delve deeper into the world of Everline.
We hope this explanation clarifies the rolling-for-step mechanic for you. Should you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
