[] Real RPGs

Pen and Paper RPGS are super fun - yes, IF you have a group of committed players. What I found was that it doesn't have to soley be focused on that. You could spend a 5 hour session to play a round, go watch a Friday night movie, and then come back to the house Saturday and carry on. After that you could play action video games together.

There's several elements to make a P&P RPG workable:

1) Frequent weekly meetings. This is probably one of the more crucial aspects, as if people tend to get lazy even over "fun" events if they don't do it on schedule.

2) DM must be organized, and should keep copies of the players card stats, so he has records of the players stats so they don't try to erase their stats and make it up. Although this might be seemed as a breach of trust, each player would be held up against the DM, therefore it should be uniform.

3) Play with friends. It sounds trite and obvious, but for most RPGS, you're playing together as a team, not as a poker game. Playing with strangers and fearing of how they'd react should you try some daring stuff might not go so well.
