Inspectres : Getting ready for first run

I'd like any tips or hints people have for running Inspectres.  Shortly I will be torturing my local
group with it, and I'd like to make the best possible effort.  I've played narrative/player led games
before and really loved them, but most of my group seems more comfortable with die rolling
than plot twisting.

On the plus side, we do have a single extra comfy chair in the game area, perfect for
the confessional...

Any hints, tips, techniques for helping getting things going?

I make prodigious use of the job generation chart (the one where you roll for each of four elements of the upcoming job). I usually do it out loud and in the open, so everyone can be all "ooooh, an extradimensional portal!" I also reroll boring results.

You may want to take a look at [InSpectres]Everybody should play InSpectres, if you haven't already. There's a lot of good general info and opinions there.

During play, don't skimp on Stress and call for Skill rolls frequently, and it should all go just fine.

Good luck with your game!
