welcome to the guild - there are a lot of good old pen-n-paper players in here... personally i still play D&D but haven't played computer games for several years (not counting a few months of frontier ville). Been playing rpg's for 32 years now and I'm nowhere close to quitting
Be sure to check out the many tutorials in here - they'll get you started right ... and when you're ready - post in a WIP thread for help and critique
