I thought it was just because I have some experience playing RPG video games, but my girlfriend picked up just as quickly. Fun, fun game, and having our friend as the DM is great, she's a really creative person and as long as we don't break the game she'll let us really use our imaginations to get things done.
That's awesome! I've been into RPGs for a long time, but my wife hadn't ever really played until we tried out some 4th Edition beginner adventures and she had a great time! I think one of the best aspects of the current system is how easy it is for new players to pick it up and have fun at the same time. I remember trying to get her into 3.5 and the startup/character generation was just so beastly. The Red Box goes even farther by letting a new player learn and play at the same time with the Choose Your Own Adventure segment!
