You've got four friends over. They don't play D&D, or any TTRPGs. They spot your cabinet full of awesome D&D minis, and your cool poly dice, and say 'hey could we play now?' What do you do? (self.dnd)

Do you have anything prepared for this? Do you say, no but come back in a week?

Do you say, yes, here are four pre-gen character sheets, let's play a random short one-shot?

Do you say, no we'd need to spend time prepping for D&D but here's a simpler tabletop game which uses minis and dice, let's play this right now instead? (for example, Shadowdark)

Or something else?

I'd probably let them know I need a little bit of prep time, and then print off a one page RPG like Honey Heist. They're quick to start, and a great way for people to try TTRPGs for the first time. After that, if they decide they like roleplaying, we can get into something more serious
