The reason? Some of them are slow to grasp rule sets. They can't just read the book, make a character, and play the game. They'll constantly be trying to use the rules they've learned by heart from their previous system. We have players who still try to use 2nd edition facing rules, since that's what they spend years memorizing. Old habits die hard. In another thread we're talking about whether it's reasonable to hand out extensive backstories to your players and expect them to know the matierial therein when they play. If I can't reasonably expect them to read loads of backstory, I certainly can't expect them to read an entire new game book and remember the rules it presents. It would probably take us months of weekly playing to really feel comfortable playing a new system.</blockquote>
