Offer a lurker mode
Lurker mode = let a player watch a game in progress for a while, to get a feel for how the game works.
If this messes with the mechanics, maybe 1) offer it for only a limited time, and/or 2) offer it in a limited area -- like, maybe in a special designed-for-beginners world called Lurker World. The limited time might be a problem, if someone used up all their hours, but then wanted to lurk again, so that they could lurk along with a friend, and explain what was happening.
Thanks!

Users can learn about Storium mechanics through the player tutorials or through joining a Beginner Game run by an experienced Mentor. They are also able to read along with any games that are not marked private.

I believe it's already possible to follow a game. Games that are public can be read by all Storium users, and you can Favorite them to keep 'em handy.
Is that what you're looking for? Or, if you're looking for more than that, could you explain what?
