What games would you guys recommend for a guy near 50, who doesn't have a gaming pc (my laptop is an i7, 16gb RAM and using onboard graphics) which tend to have an older community? I used to play RPG's and my least favorite games are those first person war games.

Something that doesn't require synchronous gaming and doesn't have a lot of stress would be even nicer.

Thanks for any input!

As a shadowrun GM, I really like those games. Rules-wise, they have very little in common with the tabletop RPG apart from using a few of the same words, but they capture the lore and the feel of the world really well.

Yeah its definitely a far simpler version of the tabletop ruleset, which I think might be its strongest feature. Not to rag on it, but the Shadowrun system is an absolute mess, and incredibly difficult to run.
