Pick up and play: four tabletop RPG systems that are easy to learn (and aren’t D&D)

It's no secret that sometimes when trying to convince people to give a tabletop RPG other than Dungeons & Dragons a try, one of the protests that often crops up is, "it's too hard to learn new games!" To those of us already acquainted with other games, this seems ridiculous, but it's worth examining: after all, if you've only learned the rules to one game, and that game is wildly complex from the get-go, what evidence do you have that every game isn't like that?

Everything we know about The War Within’s Matrix Catalyst

It will probably not surprise World of Warcraft players to learn that The War Within once again has a new entry in the series of Catalysts -- the machines left behind by cosmic forces that allow us to convert appropriate gear into tier sets, making it much easier to obtain sets (whether for actual power gains during the season they're relevant, or for transmog after the fact).
