... based on cruising the anvilwerks site and reading some reviews on rpg.net. It looks like a cool game. I'm a sucker for nifty game mechanics. My current task is convincing my group to try it out.
Not to be too much of a mootch, but is there an update on the Donjon Master's Screen? I was contemplating writing up a quick cheatsheet of rules for my tired old brain but then I saw it mentioned as "coming soon"
Either way, as soon as I run a session or two, I'll write it up and post it here.

And the artwork is fantastic, isn't it?

I suggest pointing them to the Donjon web page and giving them a quick run-down of what Donjon's all about. It shouldn't take much more than that. In my limited experience, it's far from being a tough sell.
As for the Donjon Master Screen, I made one for myself from the pdf, but I am hesitant to give it out because:
1) it's a big file since I printscreened it and pasted it into Photoshop
2) the tables are small because I like small print; and
3) it's Sr. Nixon's intellectual property, not mine

Yeah, I sent them all a link to the Donjon site. My group includes a couple of rules-phobic players and one woman who will pretty much play anything, except diceless RPGs. I told her Donjon was the opposite.
In fact, I went out and bought every 20-sided die in my local game store!

The art is pretty great. I especially like the Mushroom King. ;)
And I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the screen layout version.
