Launch date: 1 May

Since I figure it'll help galvanise us, I want to launch the game on 1 May. Before then I'll make sure there's a rules/FAQ post. We'll take applications for the game before we officially open, but it makes sense to try to create your character before then so you can get in right at the start! I may start with a couple of events to help as many ( Read more... )

INTRODUCE YOURSELF! rachel2205 April 27 2012, 23:08:21 UTC

Some of us know each other, but that's not true of everyone. So let's hang out! Tell us a bit about you - things you do for fun, your favourite books, the best sandwich fillings, whatever.

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! rachel2205 April 28 2012, 00:31:14 UTC

My handy username informs you that I'm Rachel. Clinging on to the very end of my 20s, working as a lecturer in medieval history, currently spending a lot of time geeking over Game of Thrones.

Par-Tay!

I'm Becky, a 30-something academic currently living in Canada. I teach medieval history, cook a lot, geek out over Game of Thrones, play a lot of RPGs, and am just starting to knit.

I'm currently reading Catherynne Valente's Palimpsest, and loving it! And, uh, favorite sandwich filling is apple and brie :)

I'm Sean, a mid-20s philosophy student, generally native to London (England) but currently on the tail end of a year spent at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I love tabletop roleplaying, videogames, socialist feminism, and whisky.

Hi! (Actually, I think a couple of players are from around there...) Videogames for console or PC?

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! p_tertullian April 29 2012, 23:20:07 UTC

Mostly for console, by necessity - keeping up with a gaming PC costs far too much, whereas my trusty rusty Xbox 360 cost me 75 quid and has served for years. I also play whatever classic/indie PC games my little netbook can run. My heart belongs to RPGs (especially the Fallout series), but I've lived the past few months with a pair of avid Street Fighter enthusiasts and so fighting games have kind of rubbed off on me.

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! torrain April 30 2012, 01:13:45 UTC

OMG Fallout yes. (First game I ever played, which indicates that I came to the hobby kinda late.) I tend to RPG/horror myself, although there don't often seem to be a lot of quiet creepy horror games for the PC.

I'm mostly on PC myself; I'm a very slow player (hence my avoiding most dual/multiplayer games, although I will sometimes pick up something with zombies when John wants to play), and like to be able to take breaks to read/chat online when frustrated, so the computer works better for me.

...heh. Pardon the brief spate of geekery. May see about a bit of Fallout 3 tonight.

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! middlemarching April 30 2012, 04:41:18 UTC

PC gamer here! I LOVED Fallout 3 and have been waiting for New Vegas to come down in price before picking it up. :) I'd've purchased it long before now but I preordered both Skyrim and Mass Effect 3, because I'm a bit of a video game nut.

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! p_tertullian April 30 2012, 11:58:10 UTC

I'm wearing my NCR t-shirt right now :D You'll like New Vegas, even better than Fallout 3 I think. Fallout 2 was my favourite game as a kid (I was introduced to computer RPGs by a boxed set of Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate, and Planescape: Torment. Best thing I ever bought).

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! d_van_swinderen April 30 2012, 13:12:42 UTC

(replying with my character, too lazy to log out!)

despite being an ardent Bioware fan, I've yet to play Baldur's Gate. *awkward foot shuffle* I should definitely put that on my list.

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! manal_al_atrash April 30 2012, 12:25:08 UTC

Uhm. You know, if you haven't bought it yet, and are okay with Steam, I have a spare copy?

I'm not joking. I've given away two already, and it would be awesome to pass the third on to someone who'd play it. :)

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! d_van_swinderen April 30 2012, 13:13:30 UTC

...oh my gosh, would you? :o I do have Steam and would love to play New Vegas!

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! manal_al_atrash April 30 2012, 13:45:27 UTC

Sure. :) I'm Torrain on Steam; drop me a note/friend request?

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! d_van_swinderen April 30 2012, 19:08:12 UTC

Request sent! :) I'm myopichobbit there.

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! glass_beddau April 30 2012, 22:15:05 UTC

Didn't get an invite, but I believe I just sent you one...?

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF! d_van_swinderen May 1 2012, 05:10:51 UTC

That's odd. ): But I did get your invite, and accepted it! Thank you so much!
