My local game store ran intro to 4e sessions for a month or so on Tues. and Thurs. One of the coolest things I thought they did was in character creation. Sort of. They had the premade 4e characters laminated and they had a few customizable things that you could swap out. So for your powers there were little velcro(sp?) dots that you put your powers on over the power section of the sheet. I would also survey your crowd beforehand. If anyone has any rpg experience or even better 4e experience I would split them up amongst the tables. One thing I would push during the intro is D&D is NOT an Online RPG. Our teen culture(or maybe just the ones I have dealt with) has huge problems with this. Online everything is goal orientated. D&D is experience orientated and not what you dish out after encounters either. The role playing the task the story the mood the combat the jokes, it is the experience of playing table top D&D that makes it unique. Final thought. A short video to pump them up might help. A montage of well known fantasy action movies. like this  [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwSdzX8uvqs]YouTube - Movie Fight Scenes 2 (Audiomachine, James Dooley and Globus)[/ame] Good luck</blockquote>
