Launch date: 1 May

[rachel2205]

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

INTRODUCE YOURSELF!

[rachel2205]

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.

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.

QUESTIONS FROM OUR STUDIO AUDIENCE

[rachel2205]

Any general qs you have about the game that don't quite fit into any of the threads set up so far? Ask them here!

SQUEE

Because this game is going to KICK ASS.

It's pretty much amazing.

Hi, guys! For those of you know don't know me from Excolo: I'm ohgod-how-did-I-hit-my-thirties, Canadian, a horror geek, a devout reader, a knitter, owner of two cats and a dog, and at the moment worn out enough that nothing else is coming to mind.

Welcome, all? :)

I'm Julie, a geek from Montreal. I'll be 30 in three weeks (dear God!) and still sleep with a teddy bear (yes, really). Also, I have an M.A. in Medieval History that I'm currently not using at all, an extensive Jewish upbringing that I mostly only bring out at holidays or when confronted by missionaries, and a very large collection of gaming books that I use on a weekly basis.

Hi!

[ladybird97]

wait. Have we met at a conference or something? Or...something? Because we have so many crossovers in our lives that it's really surprising that we haven't! And you seem really familiar...

[eveglass]

Erm... maybe? I don't think we have any shared LJ friends other than Rachel and Jack, but it's not impossible.

I haven't really been to any Medievalist conferences, but I do go to Pennsic every year (I mentioned I was a geek, right?), and was at the University of Toronto doing my M.A. in the 2005-6 academic year. I style myself a bard; you can see my works and stuff on my rarely-updated blog: http://pocketbard.wordpress.com

Any of that ring any bells?

[ladybird97]

Pennsic! I haven't been there, but I'd be willing to bet that you've crossed over with some of my friends there, 'cause I know a lot of people in the SCA music and theater scene. Do you know Sabine, baroness of Bhakail? And oh, I see that you know ulfhirtha! They're both friends of mine from undergrad.

And also, hi :) You seem really excellent, as does your character, and I'm looking forward to playing with you here!
