Wushu is very quick to pick up, yes. Also I like the various PDQ games (Truth and Justice is my personal preference), simple and fast. Fudge can be pared down to a pretty lean game, there's also lots of additional complexity that you can add. And Risus is fast, short (the rules are six pages) and free.

I'd add Wushu to the list. We've just started a Wushu Star Wars game and are having a lot of fun. Just didn't have the time/energy to keep up with our DnD4e game right now.

I like the idea of this site. I'm in! I am following you on Twitter.

I played AD&D back in the day. Went to college and lost touch with the game. Never cracked open V.2, V.3, or V.3.5. I mainly played computer games in the 1990's, but returned to wargaming via Battletech (sci-fi setting) about 6 years ago. I've been playing in a Battletech RPG for about four years now. E-mail, IM, and occasional face-to-face sessions make it work. Pretty infrequent though.

Then about two years ago, my kids and their friends were finally old enough to try RP gaming. I got a hold of Savage Worlds and I've been running a fantasy campaign for them for about two years now. They have a blast and it is definitely quality time with the kids. My lovely wifey, who is not a RP gamer, thinks it is great that I spent time with them that way. I have also invited a few adult friends to participate. I have a blast watching them interact with the kids.

I'm actually considering a write up about World of Darkness and that particular aspect of it. It was my first "go to" after I got burned out on D&D, and I remember being impressed with how rules-simple it was. Sadly, I never got to play a game. :(

Strangely enough, I thought World of Darkness is v...
