Second, we have been having so much fun with Battletech that I didn't want to spoil it by typing anything.
Third, I would like to talk about game stability, and how it affects both new and seasoned gamers.
In any game and with any group you reach a point that is much like a critical mass. This mass starts its life on day one. Seasoned gamers are feeling the nostalgia high, but that is curbed by new gamers inability to pick up on the "world" in question. New gamers are excited for the game, but don't appreciate the lore.
Each game is different but the conflict is the same.
Responsibility for all of this, as always, falls to the GM. The balance of new material and inside humor/shared experiences is one of the most crucial and difficult parts of any game to maintain.
Over the next couple of posts I'll be looking into what my experiences have been and what other new and seasoned GM's think.
