I have taught dozens of people the game. I have moved alot. I am challanging every one here to teach one new person the game and write about it here.
The last two saturdays i taught two newbies how to play D&D. One was a 31 year old computer tech, married no kids, the other a 29 year old elementary teacher married no kids. Both responded like i had asked them to come to an amway meeting.
Trent (the teacher) asked about 25 questions before coming, made sure i knew he had to leave early (by 8 or 9 pm), stayed till 1:30 am, left, woke his wife up and told her all about his character and the minutia of the evenings game while she tried to remmember why she let him go.
Evan (the tech) made fun of one of my other players for 5 years because he spent his weekends "slaying the dragon", came for an hour, stayed for 6, bought the phb the next day, was heard defending D&D to a hot chic over lunch and blew off his wifes birthday the next week to attend...
If you can't find one new person to show the game to you are not trying. Millions of people languish in terrible MMORPG games waiting patiently for someone to show them a real game - D&D. Anyone you know that plays computer RPG's or MMOPRGS will LOVE D&D - gets some balls and invite them.
Showing the game is fun - it invigorates your old game, everyone likes to meet new people. Tell your successes and failure (failures are more fun to read anyway) here:
