So taking this topic from another thread: many, many kids were introduced to D&D in the 80s via the ubiquitous 'Red Box' by Frank Mentzer for BECMI. I've also read many nostalgic stories of others getting their start with Holmes, B/X or The Black Box.
If today there was going to be another 'Red Box' i.e. a release intended as an intro to RPGs for kids and teens, probably best to assume D&D, that doesn't require another person to explain the game to you, what would it look like?
What would it include?
How would it best be organized and written?
What kind of art would be most appealing to this generation?
Why hasn't WotC already done this? Or was the Starter Set their attempt to do so? If so, how successful is it? Could a kid really pick it up and figure out to play with it?
