[QUOTE="Traveon Wyvernspur, post: 5423980, member: 73201"] If you are a DDI subscriber you can do a ton of pregens very very quickly. If you don't subscribe see if any of the other guys who are going to be DMing do. I'd probably make up like 2x as many pregens as there are the expected # of players. The others in the thread gave great advice and it seems to be the general consensus to do pregens for this game. I agree with them, as it could take 2-3 hours to generate all the characters needed with having to answer all the questions that will take place during the creation process especially with new people unfamiliar with the game. Keep the background stuff short and sweet, and I'd probably start it out with the cliche meeting in a tavern, followed by a single skill challenge to get their feet wet, then a single encounter consisting of quite a few minions and a "boss" directing them. Run it as a one-shot encounter to give them an understanding of what goes on, from there if they are interested in continuing to play at the library or elsewhere you can decide to allow them to keep those pregens or make new characters in future games.
