We get together after work to roll dice and pretend to be knights, assassins, wizards, heroes, and adventurers. We fight orcs and necromancers and ghosts while we explore the world, learn its secrets, and find its treasures.
Tell Colin you want to play and he'll schedule you in to one of the sessions.
You need to commit to at least one evening. One sessions is usually about 3 hours. If you like it you can keep playing.

I have a book you can use to make a custom class by combining 2-3 of the specialties from the list below:
Semi-serious. The world sounds like a real fantasy setting when you describe it, but when we play the characters get a little silly.
Light to medium roleplaying. You don't need to dress up and do a voice or anything.
