That's how you got me into the game... It works well, and gives a good
overview of the different types of characters. If your players like
reading, Charrote's (SP?) Secrets of Power books (The Sam books...) are
another great place, because Sam explores most of the different facets of
Shadowrun from a newbies point of view... Great for the beginners...
