You don't throw somebody to the wolves with Eclipse or Agricola for their first gaming experience. Not only are these both $70+ games, but they're also very complex. Instead, you recommend something like Carcassonne, Tsuro, or The Resistance. Keep it under $40! Keep it simple!But, pointing someone to D&D, with its hundreds of pages, three core books, and tons of rules, seems to be the equivalent to recommending a newbie pay the $60 MSRP for Twilight Imperium and play with his group who have only ever played Monopoly. And expecting them to like it. Now, thing is, I probably would have loved this. But, i do realize that I'm not normal. I'm the guy who unboxed The Game of Thrones 2e at 11pm and decided it was a good idea to learn as we went, after all. I was the only one who had fun that night...I seem to have veered off there...</blockquote>
