Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Shaman" data-source="post: 1981059" data-attributes="member: 26473">It really wasn't too difficult - IIRC we did two scenarios a night, so in two evenings of gaming they were exposed to the basics of game play.The only one that was a little challenging to run was the brawl, mostly because I was trying to introduce them to special attacks like grapple, bull rush, trip, hockeyshirting an opponent, and so on. Everything else was pretty simple both to plan and to run.I had everything scratched out on a couple of sheets of graph paper, I'm afraid.The firefight scenario was in a garage or warehouse - I don't recall which - and I had things like barrels, crates, and curtains to show the difference between cover and concealment. I think everyone had a pistol and a submachine gun, so they could mess around with autofire.The soccer match was just a a bunch of hooligans on the pitch - strange that that was the toughest one to run!The obstacle course had a rope ladder and a wall for Climb checks with different modifiers, a couple of obstacles to Jump (including jumping down from one of the walls), a stream to Swim, a log bridge on which the characters had to Balance, a rope swing (uses Climb), and a culvert to crawl through, so they could see how dropping down and standing up affected their moves. There was also a section that was long enough that they could run as insead of hustle, so they could see how much further they could move at a dead sprint as opposed to negotiating obstacles.The library had librarians and computer terminals with which the players could interact, as well as a study room full of grad students for Gather Information checks.The pre-gen characters were all third-level: I think I had something like a Str2/Tou1, Fas3, Sma2/Ded1, and Cha3. There were three players, so I ran the fourth character, and they each got to try out different characters in each scenario.I hope this helps!</blockquote>
