[QUOTE="neg, post: 932920, member: 4431"] Yeah, I am thinking of some basic "Fed Ex" quests and maybe something a little bit more tricky to start. Having read through a similar post that was linked earlier by Douane (thanks!), I think I will go with the Red Box basic edition and give her the feel of the game that way. If she takes a liking to it, we can start on the 3.5 stuff when it is available. Woodelf, you were absolutley right about Shattered Peace (by Atlas Games). I found a copy at a comic book shop that was going out of business (50% off to boot!), and I had to pick it up. This will be right up her alley if she decides that the game is for her. The combination of political intrigue, role-playing, racial tension, and the de-emphasis of combat will work well. Heck I wish I was playing in it! If anyone sees it, take a look, very cool. Sam, good advice on the blank notepad for later rule checks. Consider that taken. I will keep my eye out for the Wyvern Claw product as well. Eldragon, all good plot points, and with Shattered Peace in my pocket, I have a place to start from. I agree Fathead, I will have to snap out of the rut of saying the fireball does 29 points of damage, okay who attacks next? It needs to be more dramatic and dynamic. Centaur, She has actually suggested I start hosting some of the games at our place, so she will eventually hear something at somepoint, so I can gage her reactions then. And yes, she is a gift. Thanks for the advice. I have a nice few pages worth of notes as a result. Keep them coming. -neg :D [/QUOTE]
