Hey am I to late to join? If I need to be like up to date with TWD I've played both Telltale games I just watched the sad sad recent episode in season 6.

You're more than welcome here!

As for knowing the show and stuff, you don't really need to know much. It's the same universe (so same type of zombies, same decay rate of civilization, etc) but there won't be any cross-over with existing TWD characters. Perhaps locations, but Rick won't be showing up to chill with us, or anything.

All of us have varying degrees of knowledge of the universe. Some have read the comics, or watched all the episode, or played the games (some all three). Personally, I've played both seasons of Telltale's (wonderful) video game, but still haven't seen seasons 5 or 6 of the show.
