When I bring new players into games I run, I like to start them on beginning characters from minor groups, so that they can get an outside perspective and learn what they need to learn to be able to play well. The Kosui Mura campaign, which I ran in New York City, was one attempt to do so, with the players running characters from the Monkey Clan assigned to oversee a small but productive holding. Unfortunately, things did not go so well as I had hoped.
