Yeah it's like 10:00pm here as I post this, but better late than never right?

So it's like this.  You wanna get into tabletop RPGs, yeah?  But it's complicated, yeah?  Well turns out, publishers WANT you to get into RPGs!  So here's publishers giving out free or nearly-free games.  Most are quickstart rules (just what the dice do, no setting) while some are just characters sheets, and others are modules (a built setting and plot, but no rules included).

Here's the glorious and ranting Spoony Bard, covering it.  It's over an hour video, but he talks about the games he's familiar with, so you might get good impressions on what you'd want to try:

Or to go straight to the free games:
http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php - search for games in the 'free' price range, there's like 5 pages of 20 games each that are free (and alphabetical).  Includes things like Call of Cthulhu and Eclipse Phase.  The site also seems to do a weekly free game!

I may go into one of these and run an online game...

Huh. I didn't know this was a thing. I'll have to get in on this when my game is done.
