Savage Worlds

[TruenuffTrey]

So my friend and I were looking into Mutants and Masterminds, but since neither of us had any RPG experience, the local game shop manager (a self-proclaimed RPG guru) suggested Savage Worlds to start with.

I've read through the book and made a few characters, and I think I understand the rules, but my question is thus: Can anyone offer any advice on what to do other than just trying to "wing it" and hope that a better understanding will come through actual playing?

Man, It's good to be posting again...

There is really only so much theory can accomplish without practice. I am afraid you may just have to 'bite the bullet', as they say.

If you don't want to wing it, I'd suggest finding a PBP game you can read through or follow for a while. Should give you an idea of how the game plays.

But even then, Matthew has a point. You'll have to get your feet wet some time! :)
