I would be so in on this! I'm really only interested in playing third edition. I don't have pen&paper experience. But i've got a decent grasp of 3rd Edition rules and a 3rd Edition Character under the 28 point-buy system worked out. I've wanted for some time to get into p&p rpgs, but don't have the time to go somewhere, or anyone to play with...so sad.
Anyways, i've got aol instant messenger on my comp. If i need to download some other communication medium, i'm definitely cool with that.
