Once we sit down to character creation, we'll probably only have 1 book, maybe 2 if we're lucky. Hopefully there will be, or we can create, a cheat sheet to put out on the table to make the job easier... especially for large groups like mine.

What I've done for the game I'm about to run is directed my players to peruse the beta rules, as there's generally good, short descriptions of the clans and their families. That way they come to the table already having an idea of the first couple steps.

I'm thinking about printing the creation beta rules, pasting on the errata, and putting them out on the table.
