Hey Donna, Waves back Always good to have new people in the hobby. So welcome aboard and I hope you enjoy your time here on Roll20. As for the best game system in the world. I mean the one that will make your life complete, and cause birds to land in the palm of your hand, random joyous singing spontaneously break out around you and suddenly make your life become a Disney cartoon, I'd suggest. . . that, that system does not exist. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. All game systems are experienced subjectively and as a result each individual has a different perception of them. However, just because there isn't one single game system out there that is perfect for everyone. That doesn't mean that there isn't one perfect for YOU. Each Dungeon Master/Game Master runs his/her games differently from the others. In my experience you can use any game system to tell a story but role playing is something that comes about due to the interaction of the other players' characters, the Game Master's Non-Player characters and you. If I were you, and looking for a solid role playing game, I'd test out a few groups and see how it goes. Rules can encourage or discourage role playing to an extent but it is the GM and other Players that will make or break the experience in the end. My suggestion is this, play. Just get out there and play some games and see what you like. If you like the stuff they do in Critical Role (I'm just assuming that is what got you into the hobby, I could be wrong) then 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons is a good starting point, at least. However there are at least a couple hundred variations of fantasy rules systems to choose from but they can be hard to find here. I'd play the odds and just choose a few different 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons games and give them a try. Mainly because they would be easy to find and easy to get into. Once you establish a good core group then see if people are willing to branch out a bit into something else to gain experience. I hope that some of this made sense to you. And if you have questions you should by all means keep them to yourself er. . .I mean, post them! ;) I know lots of people would be more than willing to give you guidance. Happy hunting and best of luck to you Peace --Mike
