It is very difficult for me to find Rails tutorials (or books are also great) for my requirements:
- Stupidity
- Ruby 1.9 or lastest 1.8
- MySQL
- A Game (simple roll play)
- JQuery front
Thanks you!

I started with Rails mostly because of this book (older edition - but I hope that it's still the same quality)

Same here, I started with Rails using the third edition. Something I really like about the fourth one is they include testing from the very beginning, making the whole first part of the book a TDD tutorial as well.

A:
Rails for Dummies is probably your best bet if stupidity is a major issue.

A:
Learn by watching others do it. http://railscasts.com/ or http://peepcode.com/
Now that that's out of the way, do you really mean to build a role playing game using rails ?

I've read and worked through both the Rails Tutorial book and the Agile book and I think the Rails Tutorial book gets you up to speed quicker; it's also more with the times and, as a result, more practical. There's a lot of info in the Agile book, but a big chunk of it is stuff you can come back to after you're comfortable with Rails. So I say start with the free Rails Tutorial, watch free screencasts at railscasts.com and at teachmetocode.com, then start building your own projects.
I was going to post links to the books and sites mentioned above but apparently I'm on probation till I get 10 points.
