Then I would like to join. But I would only do so under certain conditions as I stated in my OP.
If it came down to starting my own game, I would probably use a PbP platform like Myth Weaver's. It has a built in dice roller. Using PbP allows me time to look up the rules without holding up the game vs in real time. My RL schedule does not allow me much flexibility to schedule all the ducks in a row for one day/night.
But honestly, being this new to RQ, I'd rather let someone else take the reins. So I'll wait to see what Bill the Barbarian can offer before I do anything.
