It's been awhile since I've shared something by the Villarreal sisters. They were 16, 14, and 11 when they did this.

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD APR 18: When introducing a new system to a player, which do you think is better: giving them a pre-generated character to use or to guide them through the character creating process beforehand?

Yeah, that's kind of my general feelings on it but you said it much better!

I like to guide them through the character creation process; it helps them to understand what their stats will mean and where they come from, and they are more invested in the character (and as a result, the game) by the end of it.

What Jamie and Martin said, basically, and it really does depend on the circumstances. If the player's an old hat, with multiple systems under their belt, you're very familiar with the system, and there's time, then by all means create a character. If none of these, then pre-gens all the way. Also, if you're new to the system, then pre-gens let you start with a known factor and less potential guess work to deal with while you're learning. Less need to stop and check the rulebook.
