Depending on where you live it might be easier to just watch a game in progress.

I play in a weekly Road to Legends campaign in Menlo Park.   The game mechanics are essentially the same with a couple of rule changes.  You could come observe some evening.

If you go to one of the larger gaming conventions in the area Kublacon, Pacificon, or Dundracon, there is often a game or two going on in the open gaming areas.

Otherwise, if you want to get your group together sometime I could play the overlord and just run the game (four players and the overlord).

The game is really pretty simple for the players as long as they have a cheat sheet showing how much movement various actions takes.  There are several online.

This re-write of the rule on boardgamegeek is easier to understand than the one that comes with the game.

Ok, got a group that is reluctant to try new things unless they have someone to hold their hand.

To that end, I need to be the hand-holder, and understand the basics of Descent, so that I can get them on board.

Not looking or expecting to be a master overnight, just need to be shown the ropes by someone knowledgeable in the game.

Very much appreciate the consideration,
