Well, not for my group. The owner did play Overlord the first time through, but he had wanted to wait to open it until everyone was there, which meant he was learning the rules as we went ("that master beastman you just killed had Command. Wonder what that does?") As the Rules Guy of my group, I had read through the pdf before coming, so I was able to help things along (some mistakes were made, such as the bit about Large Monsters and how they interact with pits being under "Large Monsters" and not "Pits").
After that, I took over and everyone's fun has increased greatly. Another group member has stepped up a couple of times so I can play, which is a nice change, but I prefer to be Overlord. And as the main OL, I get to be the first to run each new quest, and the first to spring the new surprises on the heroes.
