[QUOTE="Mishihari Lord, post: 6431813, member: 128"] Awesome. Welcome to the board, and welcome to the hobby. My advice would be to go with the Pathfinder game. Joining a game in progress is a lot less work than trying to get one going. Once you've learned one of the flavors of D&D, of which Pathfinder is one, it's easy enough to switch to any other, or even to most other RPGs. I'd also consider asking the Pathfinder GM to run you through a solos session to get the feel of the game first. This way you at least have some idea how to play when you get together with the other players. And your first RPG session, figuring things out as you go, is a cool, memorable experience. You don't get to do quite as much figuring out if you're with experienced players the very first time. And you don't need to buy a book at first. Your GM can help you get your first character made, and you can borrow a book for a day to get an overview of the rules if you want, though that's not essential. That way you're not locked into a particular game until you've had a chance to try it out. [/QUOTE]
