Of the seven people in my current group, two only started role-playing
at the most 5 or 6 months ago. One joined earlier when we were still
playing Exalted using the Storyteller system, before we switched to
Wushu. After the switch he took to Wushu like a pro.

The other joined when we had already converted to Wushu so he's been
blissfully ignorant of the whole issue.

I think part of the problem that old players have, is they've become invested in their system(s). Heck, just look at the fact that we're talking about this in...

... Yeah. I picked up Exalted not long after it came out about 5 or so years ago. I *love* the setting, and it remains in my top 2 of Fantasy games (next to...
