Hi John,

That was a really nice post. I hope we at the Forge can give your game a look. I invite you in turn to stick around for a bit, read some Actual Play posting (the best place to start), and see what we do.

Best, Ron

I dunno whether I'm going to be laughed at for this, but if someone could explain to me how to deal with a rar file, I'd be grateful. I thought I was pretty good for knowing how to zip and unzip (meaning WinZip, you wise-asses).

Best, Ron

Ron-  just downloand WinRar, and you'll be all set.

Thanks for the welcome. I've spent the last week lurking, actually. I picked the Forge and three others from a list of about twenty forums because you guys seem like the folks to go to for good input. From what I've seen on the Actual Play board (and deduced from the mission statement), this should also be a good match for the high content-to-tutorial nature of this early draft.

And I didn't think about the .rar issues. Let me post a .zip too - gimme a second.

[neosonichdghg]

Okay, I have to go for a bit (curse the lack of editing). I'll post a .zip when I get back.

[neosonichdghg]

Sorry for the triple post. There's a .zip available at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XKQYZNE7.
