I've introduced people to the game with every edition of DnD, except 4th. In fact, I usually use 3e now, via microlite 20. Once they get that under their belts, and like it, moving to full-fledged Dnd isn't hard. However, I recently taught a 12 year old how to play from scratch, with his dad's help, with 3.5e; we didn't minimize the rules at all, and he's had no problem playing them. I would use 4e to teach a new player, if we had a new player interested in joining the game; in fact, one of the 3 players in the game is relatively new; he'd played some computer rpgs, but never a "real" RPG, if you can call playing online a "face to face" game!</blockquote>
