I'm not a fan of systems, only because of all the bad D&D experiences I had in high school and in college.<br/><br/>It always seemed then like I was dating some guy who played D&D (or Shadowrun, or Vampire) who wanted me to join his gaming group. So I'd make a character, join the group ... and then I'd get told that I hadn't made my character right, since it wasn't 'optimized'.<em>("Why'd you make a dwarf rogue? You should've made an elf!")</em>Or I'd want to do something in the game and get yelled at for not knowing some obscure rule.<br/><br/>Basically, every game I ever played made me feel like 1) if you didn't know all the rules in ridiculous detail, you weren't playing it right, and 2) just made me feel stupid.<br/><br/>I know a system-based RP probably wouldn't work like that here, but it's why I'm still super wary of them.  Just a personal thing.
