If I have made this post in an inappropriate forum, I humbly ask that a moderator put it elsewhere.
I'm an experienced roleplayer with D&D gaming experience in both 2nd and a little 3.5 Edition. I also am familiar with Pathfinder. I'm looking to join a well-DMed game in either PbP/Pbem format or in some sort of instant-messenger/chat-based format (a previous 2nd Edition group I was involved in played via MSN Messenger and used NetMeeting for maps) or similar. I would prefer to play 3.5 Edition as I wish to gain more playing experience but would gladly play 2nd Edition. I have a decent (but not exhaustive) knowledge of the Realms (prior to the Spellplague, at least) but I have no preference with regard to campaign setting.
I'm all about playing the game and having fun, and to me that includes a good balance of roleplay and hack n' slash/dungeon-crawling adventuring. That said, I do my best to ensure my characters are well-written. I have a wide array of source books and as a player/person I am friendly, co-operative, polite and (perhaps most importantly) dedicated. In spite of this post reeking of job-interview-esque banality, I also possess a sense of humor. 
I checked the Pbem thread but wasn't sure if some of them are still active (I've been a lurker on Twilight Dawn for some time) and figured I'd played it safe and ask here.
Please get in touch with me if you are a DM interested in discussing this further or if you know a specific game you would recommend to me. Thank you for your generous assistance. |

I have looked up the Fantasy Grounds II website. It looks promising, I might give the demo a shot and see how it goes from there. |

I found it easy, but I'm a software geek. It is controlled by a bunch of right click pop up circle menus. The software is definately not bug free.
I play a weekly game for 3-4 hours, and most of the problems we run into are internet connectivity of various members, and microphone issues with Skype. Fantasy grounds has chat, but no voice.
As a player, I'm sure your GM would be able to walk you through all the basics you'd need. |

Thanks for the advice - I'm taking a look but it looks crazy complicated - how user-friendly have you found the program? Is it easy to get to grips with? |

Checkout an application called Fantasy Grounds II. They have forums for people looking for players as well. I'm in a regular every Sunday afternoon game. |
