[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 5411249, member: 61026"] The use of pre-generated characters is a great idea to get people started. Kudos to Ahwe_Yahzhe for giving the link to those six pre-gens. :) If you did take the Red Box along, let us know how it went. You wouldn't be lacking for product very soon: the Essentials products have a sequence of adventures spread across the introductory SKU's: (1) Character creation (goblins for 100 XP) in the Red Box "Player's Book"; (2) the Red Box contains a code for a free download ([I]through December 31, 2010, so get it quick![/I]) of "Ghost Tower of the Witchlight Fens" to continue where character creation left off; (3) the Red Box has the adventure "The Twisting Halls" in the "Dungeon Master's Book"; (4) wizards.com has a downloadable adventure called "Kill the Messengers" (described [URL="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/duad/20101029"]here[/URL]) that was played with Ed Greenwood, Larry Elmore, and Rob Salvatore at GenCon 2010, and which continues where "The Twisting Halls" left off. Beyond the Red Box and those downloads, the Essentials DM's Kit contains a separate adventure, "Reavers of Harkenwold" (split into two books) for further play. If you didn't take the Red Box along, you might want to take a look at module HS1, "The Slaying Stone," which has received lots of good word of mouth reviews for adventure quality; if you can get some pre-gens together (and miniature figures, if you want them), that might also be a good way to introduce new players to the game.
