D&D forth edition demo

I ran my first demo of forth edition Dungeons and Dragons at the local gaming store today. It was a small turn-out so, I ended up running the game for only three people. I wanted to get the players into combat as soon as possible so we went a bit light on role-playing and I threw the small party right into combat. This way the new players could get a better grasp of the new game mechanics. I figured role-playing is role-playing whatever rules set you use so the main purpose of a demo should be to demonstrate how the rules work. After defeating a hoard of Kobolds, Everyone decided that they liked the new system and wanted to try playing with more players. I committed to running a few more games if the owner of the shop can get the party up to 4 or 5 people.
