I got into video games when I was 8 and my father bought a Nintendo; I've been playign video games since then. I prefer RPGs, and love Final Fantasy.

I got into tabletop/LARP gaming in 2000 when I went to university, and my favourites in that realm are Demon: the Fallen, Mage: the Sorcerer's Crusade, Exalted, and Changeling: the Lost.

I'm not well versed in RPGs, so all I can say is "Welcome!". I've only ever actually tried to play one FF and it was the Rinoa one. I did not get past my first battle, where I died horribly, and was rather discouraged...

My boyfriend is trying to learn how to run Exalted. I'm the test case. I don't mind the system, but it's complex and our normal group doesn't really want to play in it.

We just bought the re-issued Traveller, and people seem excited about that.

Honestly, you can house-rule out a lot of the more complicated stuff. When I run Exalted, I just flat out ignore infection rules, knockdown/knockback, and anything else that seems to detract from the smooth flow of the game. Then again, my gaming group really likes to pick apart rules and fiddle with them, so.

If we decide to try it on more than just me, I'll recommend that to Cantropos.
