[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3873412, member: 53"] I agree. I would consider this for next year, but we never really had brand new players at either store I frequent. We did have quite a number of "I haven't played since AD&D" players though. Next year I might arrange an ad in the local paper's "What's going on this weekend" section (as I pretty much am in charge of the organization of the smaller store's event). Unfortunately, WotC has been hit or miss in confirming support for some events and I can't count on getting the stuff until it arrives at the store just a week before the event (one year we never got the pre-event banners and such and weren't sure we'd get the event stuff). Next year I'd love a two-tier event. A "introduction to D&D" event for the newer players and a "classic event." One of the things that the first one seemed to push was "everyone plays the same scenario around the world." The scenarios have been lacking for that. The first year used the Eberron adventure from the back of the campaign setting, that a lot of people had been through. The others before this year were pretty bad. This year's I thought was OK ,although there has been a lot of criticism of it. Because of that, a lot of places didn't use the scenarios and instead used their own. I personally would like to see the next [I]Village of Hommlet[/I], [I]Steading of the Hill Giant Chief[/I] or even [I]Tomb of Horrors[/I] come out of this event. Something memorable that players can really share their experiences for years to come. Of course, DMs will probably need more like 2 weeks to properly prepare. As a note, next year the first Saturday of November is the 1st. The day after Halloween seems perfect for a very atmospheric adventure. [/QUOTE]
