(wait for it) Ranger Rick.  (anyone remember that magazine?)Anyway, sad to say we only got as far as his character.  I got online and downloaded a level 1 adventure and pertinent monster stats from the WotC site (gotta love having the SRD online!), and spent spare time over the holiday rolling up 4 more characters.  We never did get a chance to play.In retrospect, what would've been a good idea would be to get that D&D basic set that comes complete.  That way I could've jumped in while the interest was there.I think my next project is to introduce my 15-year-old, Magic: the Gathering-playing nephew to D&D at Christmas.</blockquote>
