[QUOTE="Rel, post: 5302686, member: 99"] Holy crap! I completely missed that part! I totally love Basic D&D and have actually run several games of it over the course of the last year. Discard all that bit about how mid level characters are too complex for a one shot game! :D For me, Basic D&D (and all "old school" gaming) is about the classic stuff. So, IMHO, the players should: Meet in a tavern (or at least visit one at some point during the session) Fight some orcs Fight some kind of weird monster (like an Owlbear) Encounter a trap Pick the lock on a door Fight an Evil Wizard Get some treasure Rescue a prisoner (who may or may not turn against them later) ...not necessarily in that order. If they aren't hooked after that then they'll probably never be a gamer. ;) [/QUOTE]
