Kirk, sounds like you are ready to play! Roni, thanks for responding too. That's three... Here's my deal -- I've been a Discworld fan for a long time now, probably since the mid 2000's, and have read all the novels at least twice each, but I'm an older fellow who's never played a tabletop RPG. My kids play all the time (in fact they are in the dining room with a bunch of friends over playing D&D right now), and I've been a long time listener of a couple of fun D&D based podcasts, so I am familiar with the scene. I like your idea of planning a session for just meeting and talking about a setting and characters. I'm new to roll20, in fact I only joined on the advice of someone as a possible shot at finding people in that tiny nexus of Discworld fans and RPG/Gurps players. I'll start researching the interface. FYI, I'm the Eastern U.S. time zone.
