When I was younger, I had no problem getting involved in these types of games and spending hours trying to figure out puzzles, develop characters and complete story lines. These days, however, I feel that my attention span for video games has gone down tremendously and I find it hard to get involved in RPG's due to the long time it takes to get a feel for the game and start actually participating.

I have been a pnp role playing gamer for twenty six years, and I can tell you that I think Role Playing games are fantastic. They are an intensely social activity that allows you to have fun with friends while indulging in a shared storytelling experience. Participating in role playing games can lead to very tight friendships, fun memories, and a hobby that lasts a lifetime.
That having been said, getting into the hobby can be problematic, especially for women. There are more than a few people in the hobby that give the rest of us a bad name. Some of them lack basic social skills, others are... intense, to be nice about it. Older game groups can become isolationistic, and treat new players poorly. Many of the games out there have a steep startup cost, even if the ongoing costs are fairly cheap for such an expansive hobby (getting the three books you need to play D&D for instance, can run you $120 USD or more).
But all those challenges? Totally worth it.
If you are looking to dive in, I suggest beginning with Dungeons & Dragons. It has the largest user base and a pretty vast support network. You can get the books at Amazon.com, or at your local game or comic shop (I suggest the latter, since it's nice to support local businesses).
