It's been about 5 years since I've seriously done any PnP role playing, but reading OOTS and the emergence of 4e has rekindled my interest. However, I'm so out of touch it isn't even funny. So, I'd like some advice on what you guys might think would be the most appropriate game to try out, based on my requirements.
Setting: Doesn't matter. Fantasy, Futuristic, Super-Hero. In my experience, most well-designed games are pretty adjustable, so not a big deal.
Difficulty Curve/ Complexity: My players are gonna be complete noobs, and, as I mentioned, I'm really out of it. I'd like something a little simpler for the players, where I can deal with most of the technical stuff myself w/o spending 20 minutes looking at rules for each move.
Expense: I'm not sure how into this I'll get (It really depends on how well everything goes), so I don't wanna spend a bunch to start. Maybe $60 at most. I have a buncha minis, so that's no problem. Later on, if I like it, I'm willing to spend more on supplements.
So that's it! Pimp your favorite PnP game, convince me! I'm not prejudiced against homebrew systems either. Also, some websites with resources for your recommended games would be appreciated.
Thanks!
