Psh, I played a "traditional" druid who focused on the animal aspect and made a monster out of my animal companion (a tiger). This was Pathfinder though, I guess? But, uh, yeah, said animal companion had ludicrous stats once buffed. Druids are hilariously broken. So are clerics. So are wizards. So are prepared casters in general. Really, casting is like the I win button in 3e/3.5e/Pathfinder.
Anyway, pretty much anything I could say about DnD has already been said. It's not a great beginning system but it's familiar enough so you'll probably get by. Just make sure you're all on the same page for having fun."Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

I use this for Pathfinder, but same difference: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/
OGML: I use Google Docs and make a spreadsheet. They are the most ghetto maps ever, but they work."Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

No, he's right, Clerics are better at everything than every other class except potentially casting. Wizards get lots more save and suck which is vital, and Mystic Theurge is a legitly horrible class why would you do that Sudo?"Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

Huh. Well, I know there was some cheesy way to get level 9 spells in both arcane and divine but damned if I can remember it. But it used a lot of silly multiclassing."Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

Eh, I've DMed without "premade campaign shit" and with it. I don't think I could run a module (at least not without significant making less dumb), but I must admit having a very rich world to work off of makes my job *signfiicantly* easier. I mean, I actually *like* Pathfinder's Golarion a lot.
EDIT: Though I need to add that I respect and honestly envy people who make their own campaign worlds and do it well. It's a lot of work but it's really good when you make it happen."Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

I know! I had a romp through Varisia with a druid and loved it a lot. The campaign I'm running now actually is in Cheliax, focusing on Westcrown. Cheliax is a really interesting place in general, even if the concept is strange to me. Also Asmodeus is totally Abrahamic God with evil flavor .
But, yeah, I am super ok with using a well thought out "default" setting.
Dice are fun, but I play online a lot and end up using RNGs. It's curious, I tend to have a LOT better luck with a dicebot than actual dice, but I can't tell how much of this is confirmation bias because my recent IRL game was really low level compared to what I'm used to."Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

@Tierce: I haven't yet. I did read some of the short stories and like them though. I do want to get some of the novels though, if you have any recommendations. Ah, Sandpoint...the IRL campaign I was in was the Rise of the Runelords module, though I had to exit as of this week because I'm moving rather far away. I do kinda wanna know what happens next but I'll have to wait until my RP schedule clears up a bit, I think, and I can grab a DM for it. The campaign I got to completion went through Varisia but actually didn't touch Sandpoint, and was my first Pathfinder game. It was really neat finding things out as the character did about Lamashtu, Desna, Varisia and other things."Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

I've actually been looking a lot at Council of Thieves. After the campaign I'm running now I intend to run it over Teamspeak for some of my friends. It is definitely fairly quality, though a bit harsh at portions."Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

Um...are we talking about the same game? I mean, I'm playing the core FATE rules in a campaign and it is EXTREMELY simple. You only roll one thing, all the time, ever. Skills are simple, aspects are fairly easy to understand...where's the complexity?"Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

...ok, I'll give you medium. My DM chose to forego stunts, which is probably why it seems lighter. Though the stress tracks and consequences made sense to me...it's possible I don't have a good understanding there.
The Maneuver thing is really cool though and doesn't seem that complex to me.
EDIT: Skills being broad was a feature not a bug, to me ^-^;."Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."
