the movie they probably saw that gave them all the bad ideas about gaming is called mazes and monsters. there was also an incident with a mentally ill man who got lost in the tunnels under a college, who also happened to be a gamer. heres a review of the movie from amazon.com

You can download a demo version of a D&D character generator from the Wizards of the Coast site, don't know the url but use google. I think the generator is 3E but not certain. Try it and see. |

it is 3e (I got the cd with my subscription to dragon magazine when 3e came out)(I then decided i was a strictly 1st & 2nd ed player/DM)
the site is www.Wizards.com and probably the best advice i could give is to get the core rules CD-ROM v2.0 and the expansion, it has all the main books and all the handbooks (except the ninja's and necromancer's handbookswhich i have found as free add-on's from the official site, and the barbarians handbook which i found on ebay-the hard copy, not a version for the cdrom. it has a very nice dice rolling program, character kits, allows a DM to easily modify monsters, set up encounters and treasre, etc. it also comes with 2 decent map-making programs. it allows easy character creation and is a second edition resource (which makes it even better) not to try and push it overly much, as I abhor WotC now that they've turned AD&D into useless schlock, but it is a very useful tool, and gives you the books in 3 formats, windows Help file, RTF, and HTML.

Gnomes are described as being expert craftsmen though they are not so practical and dependable due to their overactive imagination and creativity. Gnomes also value novelty above practicality. Traditional gnomish crafts include: Gemcutting. Gnomes, especially the elusive Svirfneblin are some of the finest gemcutters around. They seem to have an innate skill to bring the gemstones alive. Clockwork mechanisms: Gnomes are also priced for their abilities to make complicated mechanic apparatuses of any kind, from intricate locks to mechanic animals.
