Hi there,
My screen name is Ardavion, just so that I can have what others term a "handle" - I know that that's some internet slang, and I'm sorry, but that'll be the only instance of it happening. I don't really want to give out my real name, because people can do a lot with a name, such as find bank accounts etc.
If not giving out my real name is wrong, then I'm sorry, I must not have read the instructions properly, but I wouldn't have thought it wouldn't be a big issue.
I'm from England, I'm 20 and I am currently studying for a physics degree. I found the whole "RPG forum thing" from searching for a futuristic RPG on google. Searching though it a bit more it looked really interesting, and I'm looking to make my own RPG system, so this will help in understanding various game mechanics, and whether or not certain ideas would work in my idea. This doesn't mean I'm going to try inventing rules in this game, but more of "this is an idea these people use, is it any good, lets play it out, see if its good for my game".
I'm not sure how else to go on with this post, so I'll probably end it there. I will probably be found in one or two forums, contributing heavily, but it depends on which forums are out there .
Its nice to get a reply so quickly to a post, but I've never used a forum before, at least not in this way - I've been a member of some yahoo groups, and there's never been any sort of drive to post on them.
I'm really looking forward to getting my 30 posts up so I can start playing - I'm not sure if I can have a character named after my user name, though. Anyone posting reliable, accurate information on this would be helpful.
