Wanted: GM willing to help me learn the ropes
Having not played before, I think it would be best to start with something simpler. :) Perhaps not quite dead simple, though, because I do enjoy a challenge.
As for systems and settings--
My interest in these kinds of games started when I learned about D&D, so it would be cool to learn that (whatever version is preferred by the GM). However, I'm also interested in contemporary and 20 minutes into the future settings.
All in all, though, I'm open to just about anything!
