Just don't tell people what you're doing, or you'll get beaten up.

I'd be tempted to try or join. This kind of thing has always interested me. I'll need to read up on the rules though, so like (I assume) a bunch of others here, if it's public (even post locked to participants) I'll watch to see how it works. Drunken podcasts of D&D don't quite make it as viable as it sounds like it should be.

Thats the classic battle of brain over brawn. If someone is going to beat you up for a hobby, you use your cunning and kick him in the bollocks and whilst he's down, poo on his head & take photos of it so if he ever threatens you again, the internet will get a new sensation...

I'm assuming it won't require fanatical dedication to whatever setting its in and romulus has apparently put a bit of thought into how to run it so it should be accessible to new players.
I'm far from an expert, the best character I ever had in P&P D&D was a fighter mage who got to level 7 or 8 before she died. She was then ressurected but there was a critical failure during the process and she was disintegrated

D&D 3.5E without dice? Fancy.

Well, its about the story and I can handle the rolls this end. Plus I really don't want to exclude anyone.

It was a compliment, really.

Haha, good thing you mentioned it. I saw that thread and thought "I've never even heard of that game, oh well I won't bother reading it"
