you have a lot of experience. i loved cyberpunk even though i had an extremely limited understanding of role-playing at the time. whatever, i was 14/15. i "won" the second game (meaning that i knew more about what was going on than anyone else playing). we also played a lot of "killer games" in high school and dreamed of staging one in the DC metro system. in case you don't know, a killer game involves putting the list of players into a loop and only informing the players of ONE of the people next to them in the circle so that everyone has a target. targets are "killed" by tagging them 3 times with a washable white mark (chalk, or powdered donuts make great grenades). when you have got your target you take the target of your target and play till one person remains. lots of fun. vampire tag, a game made up by my friends and played on a play-ground at night, is also great fun. exalted was probably the least fun i've ever had with a game. our dogs group is where most of my current access to new games comes from. our gm and one of the players are game system conneseurs. one of them wrote the program "grapevine," the character-management system for owbn. there is talk that we may begin a game of nobilis sometime in the next few months. i like computer games but am therefore wary of them. i easily become addicted and i just don't have time to be addicted to something that could suck me in for more than a month. my husband plays eve online, but i am more interested in puzzle/strategy/short rpg's when it comes to computer games.
