Can anyone recommend any videos of play that do not involve the Starter Set adventure?

 

My 12 year old son and my girlfriend have expressed an interest in learning how to play.  I'm actually going to wait until the Players Handbook comes out to start, but I wanted to refer them to examples of actual play so they can get an idea what this hobby is really all about.

 

I know Wizards have said that they're going to produce "How to Play" videos, but I was wondering if there was anything they could watch in the meantime?

 

As I was planning on running the starter set adventure, I would like to avoid anything related to that if possible.  Ideally, if it involved people new to d&d, that would be great!

This is the first in a serie of videos (4) which was recorded some months ago, after the last playtest. The rules maybe will be changed, but the general rhythm of play should be the same

Yeah, the wizard's guys did The Lich Queen's Beloved too. I love how it all went south at the end, no domineering DM to save the adventure. Those adventures are best ones. You always remember those, even twenty years later.

Thanks, Nausicaa.  I'll go take a look at that one now.

 

I do know about the Bilsland one.  I'm trying to avoid using that because I was hoping to use the adventure myself.
