[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 3220493, member: 22882"] It's easy to find a group for. It's easy to explain to new players. Basic/Rules Cyclopaedia D&D was perhaps the easiest RPG to introduce a new player to ever - nothing high concept or far from the common understanding of Game, readily accessible classes that mapped to popular media, and a simple system. A good GM can introduce D&D 3.5 almost as easily, certainly easier than most any other system on the market, and AD&D is only a little behind in ease of explanation. Caveat: this doesn't mean D&D is necessarily easy to PLAY, compared to many other RPGs. Once you 'get,' say, FATE, it's much easier; heck, HERO is easier outside of character creation. A new player, however, will have trouble grasping those systems. (3.x only) It's one of the better tactical games available, a worthy alternative to dedicated skirmish-level wargames. Offhand, Savage Worlds is the only non-d20 RPG that can claim this - you could do it with HERO but only if all the players knew the system well. [/QUOTE]
