My current group is 5 people 4 players an occasional 5th and a GM, but their is a very large D&D group on campus and I would like to show them the light (or darkness) that is SR3. The main GM of the D&D group has a pretty strong aversion to SR because of a bad expirence with another group so trying to convert some of the D&D players is hard when he continually bashes SR in front of them when I bring it up. That being said I would like to expand the group and one of their players has shown some interest in playing.

I hear alot of horror stories about D&D players trying out SR and im kind of worried that if he does something stupid and dies he will lose interest. Im hoping that if I can get him hooked he will be able to talk some sense into other D&D players so they will actually give SR a chance. I dont wanna beat him with my GM noob punishment stick, but I also dont want to let him get used to walking straight into a group of guards killing them and the fighting to defend his loot/honor or w/e when lone star shows up.

I think ill try helping him make a character and then explaining the universe to him and espically pointing out how running straight into a group of guards that have guns will most likely get you killed. Im really hoping to get some more people into our campaigns so I dont wanna mess this up.
