@Spyder Z: I can see your point I think D&D has spoiled me with how magic works and how I think a game should be played. I haven’t had a chance to play much with Savage World’s magic system but it looks pretty win.

I think that the most difficulty I ever ran into while bringing a new player in was in dispelling preconceived notions about things. From the rules, to the creatures, to the kinds of magic and how it works. It was almost nicer to get someone who’d never played a Pen and Paper, as they accepted everything as stated. ;P

Having played a few RPG's the mist intimidating time being a “noob” to the group or game was figuring out my character. A close second was then getting to know the people i was playing with.

The easy part was learning the rules, they were either explained “in-game” or simply by reading the book.

@Greg That is one of the reasons we’re writing this segment the focus shouldn’t be on teaching rules but simply engaging the new person. Engage them, learn about them and then teach them the rules.
