[QUOTE="Nostrus, post: 3582340, member: 51203"] Howdy! I'm here to ask some advice. Now, I used to do some freeform roleplaying with friends when I was younger, and although we had a brief dalliance with DnD, we never really got into it because we were all highly computer literate and wound up taking the MMO route instead. However, things have come full circle for me thanks to a work colleague who has been doing DnD (and various other games) for quite some time and so has sparked my interest once again. Now, the problem is that we are basically the only two people we know who'd be interested in doing this locally, thanks to living in the middle of nowhere in Scotland. He happens to get his fix through playbyweb.com and enjoys it immensely, but as I happen to be new at this, I don't want to go diving in without the DM (and the other players) knowing what they've got themselves in for, so I'm sorta looking for someone to help me whilst playing a campaign so that I know what I'm doing. My buddy does DM, but he doesn't have the time to run a campaign at the moment otherwise he'd be more than willing to help and the game he is in has no free spaces, and they're fairly well on as it is so I'd sort of feel a bit out of place.
