And I got a lot of help on that character (that thread has over 125 posts in it). I was only successful because I had a seasoned DM – which you guys don’t – and because I read about the system – both the actual rules and forum discussions – for a long time before I ever made a character. But it is not a good system for new players. Note that this is coming from an avid 3.5 player – I really do like the system. It’s entirely possible that a 3.5 game would go great, but I personally would consider it risky – more likely people will be confused and people will wind up with wildly varying power levels. Wizards had a very “ivory tower” design for it, and tried too hard to reward “system mastery” – which none of you have. It’s complicated and has a ton of rules, plus a lot of options that are (apparently intentionally) “traps” – stuff that looks good, but is really a waste of resources. I recommend against 3.5 (or Paizo’s “3.75,” Pathfinder, which is really not all that different). The first tabletop RPG I played was Dungeons & Dragons 3.5ed.

Supports storytelling, not tactical only.

Still has tactical combat "like 4e" but much more rules light.

Good for a group of entirely new gamers (no experienced GM).

So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a fantasy RPG that has great storytelling potential and also the tactical combat possibilities of 4e. The thing is, although the game (4 ed.) has everything to please everyone, it has a lot of (somewhat unnecessary) rules. I've been reading the books for a while and told them to read the first chapters to get the basic idea.

So we're planning to get together and play a bit and experiment. Some of them loved the idea, while others were a bit more apprehensive, since we're basically a group of gamers. After recently moving to a new school, I made a few nerdy friends who didn't know D&D, so I've shown them some stuff. I've always wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons, but where I live it's more of an underground thing, so it was difficult to find other players.
