Hey guys, so I have finally met a person who wants to play tabletop RPGs, and between he and we're now trying to form a group, so far we have 4 but possibly 7, but the problem is that neither of us has really role-played before [small](Not even on-line)[/small], so of course I've got to ask what's a good one to start with?
As for the conditions [footnote]Which are all flexible and more like suggestions.[/footnote]:
-Setting: Well they seem to be more interested in a survival style setting and have mentioned Zombie apocalypse or Fallout type setting, but are also interested in Super Hero and Science fiction, it may be good to note that the more reluctant guy[footnote]Who incidentally is providing the house, just because we came up with this idea there, and even though my house is less than a block away and would probably be a better place.[/footnote] seems to have a particular fondness for Star Wars, Blade Runner, Terminator and Marvel Superheroes which may help to ease him into it.
Edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot but one of the guys was rather interested in a steampunk setting too, but really we are open to any setting.
-Availability: So we live in México and in our particular area these kinds of things aren't easy to get a hold of, so we are looking for one whose rules are available on the Internet and we would simply need to print, HOWEVER since I have been wanting to do this for a long time I am willing to shell out the cash if necessary [small](And by this I do mean ordering through mail)[/small], as long as it's not ridiculously expensive.
-Language: This is a very minor, low priority and unimportant one since we all do speak and read English, but if somebody knows of one that's on Spanish it would probably speed up the pace of the game.
We still haven't decided who's going to DM, but since there are only 2 of us that are willing to and my voice is easier to understand, classier, sexier and I read faster it will probably be me, though it is a little monotone, so if that is something that normally goes badly, please do tell me so I pass the DMing to him.
[small]Yes, I was supposed to be looking for this on my own, but since I know there are a lot of tabletop players here, I figured it would probably be a good idea to ask for some guidance first, as I don't know the first thing about this other than it sounds like a fun thing to do.[/small]
