I'll be leaving tomorrow for a few weeks on a trip to Massachusetts and Maine, partially work-related and partially as vacation. After getting lots of good recommendations for rpgs that might work well with newbies, I will be bringing some games with me to try out on some non-gamer family members. When I get back I will post a review of how the various games were received and whether or not people thought they were fun.
Happy Independence Day!
