All I can say is, whatever setting you choose: The fewer stats and maths involved, the better your chances are getting people to play, I think.

I know, that is what I'm struggling with, I tend to be a stats and math kind of guy.

I understand that some are married to the idea of dice rolling and creating some randomness and tension into the game that way. But it turns people off. :/

I wouldn't call myself "married to it" but it is kinda my go-to. I mean, I'm trying to think of something else, but I'm coming up empty so far...

you could do what majus does for his black book game:give people like a small amount of points and some very basic stats everyone has one piont in and make the stats a chance out of success of 10

Black Book? You mean Bible Black? The best hentai series ever made?

I find private rpg's tend to last longer in interest. The issue I find with public is you have all these people talking and waiting for long periods of time to talk. You really need a public RPG where interaction works even if it isn't your turn to talk. That's hard to do.
