Hey guys.

My friends and I were interested in picking this up and playing, but we don't really have any experience with table-top RPGs.  What I was wondering was if this particular RPG was hard to learn and start playing.  A relative of mine plays RPGs and when I was speaking to her about her favorite (Worlds of Darkness, as I recall), it sounded very complex.  I'm just a little intimidated, I guess.  I know I'm not really giving a great indicator of what would be 'over the top' or not, and I'm sorry for that, but again - complete table-top noob.

Pretty much what I'm asking is if this RPG would be a good place to start, or if I should keep looking for something a little more beginner-friendly?

Thanks in advance for any input, help, or what have you  =).
