[QUOTE="Kakost, post: 72907, member: 34471"] From Snes I played a lot FFVII with emulators on a PC, my favorite, but 3 is also pretty good. A table top for total newbies, I would recommend Vampire the Masquerade. The system is super easy to understand. Gurps is very, very simple - once you understand it, and once you understand it as a SANDBOX, to which you take only whatever you desire to use and ignore the rest (so, cut off all the minutia rules about hole digging and whatnot), so it requires a competent game master willing to digest it first for the table, so probably not for starters. D&D is great hack and slash, but it's endless tables upon tables upon tables which is overwhelming for starters. So, I would recommend Vampire the Masquerade. Mage the Ascension (or derivatives like Ars Arcana) are a bit more complex in it's philosophy (more than just the rules), so despite being my favorite, should come as a second or third game. Shadowrun is also a good choice, but you got to get used to the setting which is super weird and fantastic, so it takes some time to dig in into the meta plot, while Vampire is so much simpler, being just our own world but with a shadow conspiracy of vampires hiding on plain sight [/QUOTE]
