I CALL DO-OVER!
This is not a thread for continuing the conversation in Insight's "Giants" OOC, but a clean slate to get off on the right foot with a new member of the PBP community.
[sblock=For those just tuning in...]There were 6 hotly contested spots in Insight's new game for 10th level characters. 10th level, heck yeah, lots of interest.
There were some mistakes in posting the final roster and some heated words were exchanged.
I won't summarize that, you can read for yourself if you're so inclined.[/sblock]This is a pretty tight pbp community - and the best one I've found. I've been in games with many of you or seen you around for years. We're mostly nice folks.
So, let's uh, let's start over here, because this IS a tight community. And I, for one, don't want to see a newcomer get a bad impression of us, nor we of him.
(Too late? No, not if we decide it isn't. And I've decided it isn't.)
Let's take a moment to step back, let go of our righteous wrath, take some deep breaths and welcome a new player into the fold.

Better? Hope so.
Howdy, KD. I'm Sparky. I was a player mostly until 4th Edition came along and made a money-where-my-mouth-is DM outta me. I've been playing D&D for, sheesh, over 20 years now. Wow. Where does the time go?
When I discovered PbP, it was the first role-playing I'd done in years. Mostly because I was out of touch with folks who had the time or wherewithall to run a tabletop game. And I wasn't gonna. I was anxious about the pace of a face-to-face game and my not-encyclopedic knowledge of 3.x, so I didn't play.
ENTER: PbP.
D&D at my pace. I could check a thread or two, compose some posts and then go on about my day. I eventually got up the nerve to run a game and started a couple, but didn't get very far with those early efforts and was still pretty intimidated to run a 3.x game. Though, at this point I was TOTALLY hooked on PbP as a medium for running games. I'm a shy role-player in face-to-face settings. So PbP is really perfect for me. I can sink my teeth into a role and I don't have an audience sitting across from me with... with those eyes... all those eyes...
Nope, it's just me an the stuff of imagination rendered through text. I dig it. And I hope you will too.
