Tod,
    The characters should get jobs and work for a number of weeks 
predetermined by the GM.  But don't let the players work too long.  Six 
months for starting characters is the tradition in my campaign.  This is the 
minimum time for one enlistment in the army or police (ITL page 25 LEAVING 
ON AN ADVENTURE) without being AWOL.  More time than that runs a risk of one 
player getting on a hot streak with their risk rolls and getting too many 
extra character points.

    Try the TFT web ring.
