In this area I have a one-on-one run I do with the player called
"Lessons". This is really three short runs the character goes through and
does his best in. The point originally was to show three new players the way
the shadows are with out the candy coated shell, now its kinda like a
weeding system and character tester.
Ex.I had a player who decided to make a retarded cyclopes who believed he
was a super hero named Super Cyclopes. I believe he made the character to
see how much he could get away with, so I let the player spend all his time
creating this super nut munchie and even let him take delta ware starting
out. By the time we had gone through all three sections of Lessons, Super
Munchie had died in every single section. A few days later he had made a new
character and wanted to send him through Lessons to play test him in my SR
world. I think just that one-on-one run told him all the Shadows with out
spending hours, days, and week sifting through a stack of books taller than
him.
