I'll be using a simplified version of the RuneQuest III rules. I know that almost nobody knows them, but that's no problem; they map really well to reality, and everyone I've introduced them to has been amazed at how much easier roleplaying can be. The system was designed by actual combat veterans and SCA people to reflect the reality of combat and action, so it's much less "wargamey". Also, it was designed as an RPG from the ground up, so there are a few simple rules that pretty much apply to everything.
I'm starting it with a few players, but I plan to open it up to new players once I've had a chance to get comfortable with the hybrid model. I've been GMing since the 80s, but apart from a couple of early BBS experiences my games have all been FTF.
Dude I love RuneQuest / BRP. Well, really I mostly love Mythras which was RuneQuest 6e until a licensing change, I think it's an outright improvement, but still.
