[QUOTE="Disparue, post: 5783562, member: 6688063"] I came into RPGs from HeroQuest. My friends and I kept making more and more rules and magic items for that game. One of my friends made a huge grid-map on sheets of bristol board. Now imagine our amazement when we found the AD&D dungeon masters guide at the local library. I can see a very stripped down version of the rules set working as an entry into 5E. I glanced at essentials and it seemed like they had a choose your own adventure that helped introduce you to that game (I haven't really played 4E so I'm not that familiar). As it is we currently play a very stripped down version of 3rd edition. We often get players who've never played before and my goal was to be able to fit most of the rules onto the character sheet with a five minute explanation and a sheet of paper that explains their class abilities (we have a sort of pre-gen list of spells for new players if they want to play a wizard or cleric).
