Here is the blurb I used on the Facebook page for our last open D&D session. The game is hosted at a local store, and that store helped by sending out blasts to the event.
The date, time and location were up top via the Facebook interface. We got about 10 people, 2 of whom showed up late and were invited to watch, but 8 was already bursting at the seems of what I could handle. I could probably get more if I used something like Meetup, but we only have one DM at the moment (plus a separate GM who runs interesting indie games), so I don't want to get overwhelmed.
As ad_hoc says, the D&D brand, at this point, will do lots of the work for you. That's the benefit of playing the big game, vs trying to put an indie RPG campaign together. Just saying, "D&D" is going to pique some interest and there are a lot of geeks out there who keep meaning to play, or played in grade school but are intrigued by getting back into it, or what have you.
