Okay, I have three ideas for you.  First, the easiest thing to do is to
give new players pre-generated characters.  There are 10 to choose from
in the back of the AMM.  If the player decides to keep playing, he can
either generate his own character or keep using the one you gave him.

Second and third ideas - here are two simplified systems for generating
characters;


DragonRaid Lite Character Generation

This version of DR character generation retains the formula based system,
but the formulas are simpler.   So, all the calculations are still there,
but a player should be able to run through them in less than 15 minutes.

This version can be used for a campaign character since Maturity Units
still grow the Character Strengths, which in turn grow Abilities and
Skills.

DragonRaid UltraLite Character Generation

This version of DR character generation does not use the formula based
system.  So, with only a few calculations, a player should be able to
build a character in less than 5 minutes.

Characters made with this system should only be used for demonstration
purposes or introductory games, not long-term campaigns.
