I've had one bad experience with that while trying to assemble a group out of my non-gaming friends. After figuring out who wants to play what I've focused on making characters for everyone, essentially talking only with one person at a time. The rest was then sitting idle, having no clue what I'm talking about trying to flesh out all the traits for character. That was a rather bad introduction to role-playing. But I guess I just have been rushing too much and could have called it a day with just the general concepts in mind – now I've got a lot of ideas of how I could have done it better and it shouldn't be an issue now as most of my players run GURPS themselves, but it is there in the back of my head.
