Golden Anvil

I'm willing to give it a shot.  But I've never done any kind of RPG so I'm pretty clueless.  I've enlisted my hubby's help so we'll see how it goes.

OK...I've set up a new LJ account, and the New Student Page tells me: "Next, please go to polymagic_u and post an introduction!  (To post to a community, select the link labeled "Post to this community" on the top bar of the screen, beneath the community name.)"

I see nothing at the top that is a link "Post to this community". I'm a very literal, precise language junkie...a little like programming a computer, so I will try my best to do exactly what you tell me to do, but if I don't see what you tell me I should see, we have a problem!

Care to comment? I'm using Firefox, and if IE is required, I withdraw my offer to participate.

It's all for your character, none of it's for you.

Don't worry about being new at it!  We all have been at one point or another.  It's all good!

As for the problem with posting to the community in the first place, I think that's my fault.  I kind of failed to mention that you should join the community first so that you can post to it.

I'll fix that.

Ok, I'm in as Buck Lampton.

Dad, I'm kind of surprised that you are interested. It's kind of a high-school/college aged Harry Potter thing. I didn't think that was really your thing...

Actually, you're right. I was motivated by wanting to help, but once I learned that it would be a spoof on Harry Potter, I was intrigued - sounded fun. But, in retrospect, I don't think I'll be able to handle it - especially given the targeted age/circumstances. I'm not sure I can role play somebody 40-50 years younger than I am. Perhaps Karen will join...she's a lot younger spirited than I am! 

I'm sure it would be a learning experience for me, but I'm not sure how hard I'd be willing to work at it, and don't need to burden folks with having to lead me by the hand every step of the way.

Bottom line...I think that maybe I'd better skip it. All that's really done so far is to set up a new LJ account, so I guess no damage done, and nothing to undo.

Thanks anyhow for the invitation.

I am so sorry but I'm afraid I'm going to have to back out also.  My husband is having to do a bunch of overtime, which means I am doing overtime on the home front.  So I'm busy and exhausted.  I am having a heck of a time, under the circumstances, figuring out how to use LJ and I still have to learn how to RP.  So I don't think I can manage it right now.  If Kheldar starts up a game here I may give that a shot since there will be a lot less learning to do.  Thanks for letting us know and good luck with both the game and your project!

Hey, no problem!  Happens.
