So what was in that Beginner Track?

Burning Wheel Subsystem Advice and Guidance
1

A friend contacted me today with some BW questions. He’s doing character generation with his group tonight. I suggested I meet up and help him with prep and give advice for running the game tomorrow.

My main thoughts will be along the lines of:
Keeping it simple
We’ll do a brainstorm of some of the beliefs and figure out how to challenge them
Asking questions
Task and Intent
Complications

to help with the character burning portion of the game these gold sheets are extremely useful.

I have been working with them and it breaks the game down pretty well and makes character burning pretty smooth.

For burning, I’d emphasize that the party must have a coherent party concept and shared goal.
