Hey! Glad to have yet another player with such great initiative.
To start a group, you'll definitely need the resources. I would suggest that you start with a few decks that they can use to rotate and play around with. Once they are used to the rules, they can switch the decks around, or you can introduce newer cards for them to 'mod' their decks.
Different players will have different learning speeds, so its better to start slow and only move when the majority are comfortable. It is very difficult to do this as a 1 man show, so it would be good if you and another, or a few friends can come together to get some of like a base ready so anyone who is interested can hop on to learn more.
But last but not least, be committed but don't burn out. Once you burn out and stop the momentum from moving forward, all your previous work of trying to push the game would go to waste.
Personally, a few friends and I started the Revolution playgroup. From 4 players, we grew to about 15 to 18 at its peak after about 2 years. I would say more than half of the players didn't have prior knowledge in Revolution so it also takes patience and time to play with them and help them until they are ready to play on their own. Sadly real life interferes and the lack of interest in the game prevented us from moving forward.
