I think you benefit from the 3e stuff. A few things I noted I'll share, YMMV.*) use mid-level characters. while 1st level dudes are simplest, they may lack a cool feature that excites the players/adds uniqueness a bit. 10th level would be too complex.*) be prepared to stretch a rule in favor of them. they don't know what everything is, so cinematics/descriptives trump 'which square are you in?'*) try to use some visuals, a weathered document, a gemstone prop, a painted figure.*) be obvious with hints and NPC traits. stereotyping the bad guys is okay.And you've already said, don't get frustrated if somebody isn't into it. You are not ultimately responsible for whether someone has fun or not, regardless of the entertainment medium.one last thing, and this goes for all groups, IMHO. Enthusiasm is contagious. If you're having fun, it's likely so will they.Let us know how it goes!--Shana</blockquote>
