Woot - received my (printed) Basic Fantasy books last Friday and ran a 1st game of it yesterday. Lotta fun, and my (2) players signed up for a monthly game. Hopefully have another two players to drag into the mix.
It wasn't quite a "first" game - everyone's old hand at playing, and has played basic D&D in the past.
Great time though - got through setting discussion, character generation, and the entire 1st adventure (pulled from AA1, by the way) in that one session.
Looking forward to more.
