[QUOTE="modiphius, post: 5955370, member: 6696016"] I get non-gamers to play easily....Hey I'm cooking dinner, we're gonna have some nice wine and try one of those story telling games, sure it's easy don't worry!....I make sure the food is good, the wine is great, the game is amazing and the company perfect. You'll find a lot of people you 'think' are out having a great time aren't always, they'll be sitting in front of some rubbish TV again bored out of their skull. Those couples you know - they're always pushed for money and what couple doesn't LOVE coming for dinner, it's a cheap night out. Plus people love meeting new people. Gaming is all about how you sell it. Think about it this way... So we're going to this massive concrete stadium where the toilets smell of p*%$£ and there's tens of thousands of idiots on the opposing team out to beat us up and shouting abuse at us through the match, a coke costs a fortune, and the players look just like insects because we couldn't afford the good seats and....you think that's a good night out? Or is it... It's the match of the century, all those players you've been following through the season finally facing off against their greatest rivals. The crowd is electric, the people roar each time one of your side get control of the ball and you know this is going to be one hell of a game So are you sitting around rooting through a pile of books, figuring out which modifiers to add together or leading your friends deeper in to the ancient keep (oh can you pass the white please?)... And don't say you can't cook - anyone can make a half decent dinner (let's face it just the prospect of someone else making food is enough for most people) so try it out. Try to keep the tome's of rules away from the table, keep the stories closer and the adventure closer, then you might have a chance of getting them back next week. You might even find they offer to cook one week...! [/QUOTE]
