Heh, if you can find, will you let me know? I have a group of friends that goes back for years, and the core of the group started off meeting through D&D as kids. We haven't actually played anything for years, but the topic comes up once in a while. One of the nongamers  was saying just earlier this week that he'd like to try it, once, just to understand what it is all about. I'm sure I can draft one or two of the old gamers to come play for an evening too. I don't have rules for most games anymore, and most take too long to generate charcters, so I was thinking Hero Wars.

I'm not entirely sure how I'll handle it yet. I'm thinking of giving a 5 minute intro to the world, then no more than 5 on characters and the rules. Then we'll go with some combo of list method and make it up as you go. I think I'll run Fish Rain, because it is weird and fun.

But if there is a better intro out there, I'd go for it.
