Well we have a decent take up of new players - so don't worry too much.
Generally team games are not the problem though as there is always someone
willing to take up the position. It is the individual games which suffer -
and for a new player one of the most important considerations is the cost of
set-up. The cheaper the set-up the more likely a player drops out (a strong
correlation). Getting players to chat to their team-mates early on helps -
and if there is no response then I would happily allow players to send in a
turn on behalf of their missing brethren.
(I have seen it happen many times).

Finally, I would be willing to pay a deposit, not
least because I (in keeping with many others) now only
really play team games which guarantees those on both
sides will play at least 5-10 turns before biting the
bullet.Like Mike I only play team games now, so a deposit would not affect me
much. However - I think it's a bad idea, it would discourage new
players. With the book and map, it's jolly expensive as it is. When
the old MEPBEMers die, who will there be to replace us?Regards, Laurence G. Tilley
