:Because hopefully the GM is someone who knows how to play the game and
its
:the players who are new. If you're going to GM you might as well get the
:whole rulebook. But I'm working on getting a friend of mine to play, and
:I'd love to giver her a little 20-30 page booklet to read over and get
the
:idea of the game and decide if she likes it. Right now, she's interested
:but intimidated by the whole big book that she would have to look over
for
:the basic rules.


What an excellent idea. It could introduce concepts as basic as
rolling dice, target numbers, and so on. I strongly suspect the concept
of pools would be totally axed- which changes things a fair bit, but might
be worthwhile for teaching totally new players.
Hey, wasn't there some net project like this? :)
