Training Newbie Gamers: The Verdict

Thanks to everyone who responded to my thread regarding how to introduce
newcomers to roleplaying.

After lots of consideration of the players involved, I've decided to go out
on a limb a little bit. I'm going to run Greg Stolze's excellent RPG: USAGI
YOJIMBO... which I have never run before.

There are two reasons for this: 1) My players dig chanbara cinema, 2) When
I mentioned the possibility of playing animals (a B&B game, perhaps) their
eyes lit up. The thought of playing anthropomorphic animals excited them
even more.

This is a genre that I've never delved into much, aside from reading 3 1/2
Usagi Yojimbo comics about six years ago. Still, the game is great (a
*complete* system and setting in only 96 pages... amazing) and I'm looking
forward to running it.

Anyway, just thought I'd send the list a heads-up since you folks were kind
enough to give me advice a few weeks ago.
