I am the youngest and least experiened player in the group (I don't know if that still matters after 8 of playing, but just in case), and everyone in my group has his campaign to DM. No way this would ever work. In the end, everyone will read all the books.Our typical procedure for playing games where we have only one rulebook and the DM is introducing the game is for the DM to explain the character creation rules as best as possible, and give us all the information we need. We can look into the books, but since we will usually create the characters together in the first session, it's usually the DM who will keep the book and answer any questions. There are some situations in where members of the group (sometimes the DM, often someone else) woud pregenerate characters to make a quicker start (we did this for Shadowrun 4E sessions, as character creation just takes too much time, but we all have a pretty good idea what Shadowun is all about, so it's relatively easy to create fitting characters), but if we ever adopt a game fully, you can bet that people will create their characters for them self.</blockquote>
