Tips for Time of War

[FranRabuteo]

Hello all!

Ill be running A Time of War for my local games club and wanted to know what you have as tips as experienced GM's for this system. Many of my players will be unfamiliar with the system as well as the universe itself. Ive run RPG's in the past (D&D, Cyberpunk 2020 and RED) and ive played plenty of Classic Battletech. Ill be doing premade sheets for them to start with to speed up the process.

So what tools and resources do you know of?
Any tips regarding the rules?

Sounds like you already solved the problem I can most help with (character creation).  I built a spreadsheet to help (linked in my sig block) and do all the heavy lifting for my players with it.

Aside from that, if they're coming from TW, you need to remind them modifiers work backwards in AToW (they modify the roll, not the target number, so plusses are GOOD).
