When I was young I really believed in the "Save the World" scenario. Get involved in the big things and you will end up saving the world. It was a romantic notion that time and experience relieved me of. Now I understand that you never really could save the world, only your little corner of it, and working together with a lot of others, everybody doing a lot of different things, that you can slowly change and improve the world. But you're never gonna save it, certainly not all at once.That said if they are young and romantic and filled with vim and vinegar, anxious to take on the big threats and get right to the center of the stand-up fight and want to do it that way, then let em. Otherwise let em start out small and work their way up to it. I can tell ya this though, you can get killed real quick by jumping feet first into the middle of a big fight if you aren't very careful and really know what you're doing. Hell, you can get killed easy enough in any real fight, but experience makes you a lot better at survival. I think maybe soliciting their opinions, in a very, very general way, might give you a clue as to their preferences. Regarding the "jump right in" versus the "let's go slow and find up what we're really up against" kinda scenario.I'm with FS on this one. A good, slowly-cooking conspiracy and mystery goes a long way with me, as far as generating interest in a storyline.</blockquote>
