Though I’m not quite ready–and neither is the SWAT program–I’m going to follow a suggestion made and enter the characters and storyline into SWAT and use them as the learning base. It may provide a more intimate and focused grounding in which to work.
By using characters of my own making, and with a general plot it mind, it will eliminate some of the random decisions that would likely be made in deciding traits of the characters provided which I have no connection or feeling for (Atilla?). Being even that more precise in making my way through such a wide and complicated structure as the program offers will no doubt be more telling in the final result.
