Player Preparation (CSC)

__TOC__
Make the players responsible for some of the game preparations. If one or more new players will be joining the group, ask one of the "vets" to walk the new folk through basic character creation and a brief explanation of the rules. Let someone other than the DM be in charge of arranging a time and place for each game and contacting all the players. Encourage the players to bring their own snacks. Have the players keep a journal of their adventures and re-establish the mood and setting for each adventure by prefacing each play session with readings from the journal.
