Curufea
Greetings. Thought I'd have a slightly more informative subject for an intro thread.
I'm a long time gamer whose played a lot of systems. I've a prefference for narrative and independents. Favourite is probably Baron Munchausen.
I'm an Aussie, which kind of ties in with my interest in anti-authoritarian criminals such as Faction Paradox, which I'm thinking of running a game about using the DWAITAS rules. Plot depends on what the character are.
I sometimes design games and websites and am studying a post-grad librarianship course.

Your site is looking food so far, I look forward to seeing the game up and running.
I'd not been looking around much, only having heard of RPOL before. I like this place better for its more Moodle-like style, combining different kinds of online contribution systems.

Sorry.
I'm still not that found of "Trove" for my work's service (trove.nla.gov.au)
I would like to use text areas though and that talk of arrays would be good too, for the traits.
I should do some javascript for it as well - the skills should create a subskill or "specialisation" field if they have 3 or more points in the skill. I'll have a look later :)
It wasn't as tricky as the XML character sheet - I'm always forgetting some of the trickier schema things.
*I think people who develop a DCS should get an achievement for making such a contribution to Obsidian Portal*
On the other hand you can chat to the fine folks on "the DWAITAS forum":http://dwaitas.proboards.com/index.cgi, we're not all mad and some will be willing to run games more in keeping with the TV series with you too!
Mind you, I've done far too many acheivable things for Doctor Who so far - I don't think obsessiveness should be reward, Duskreign :)
I've just got the Admin rights to the "Faction wikia site":http://factionparadox.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page - which is handy as I've got 2 other wikis for Faction Paradox (a mirror of the "first homepage":http://www.curufea.com/Wikka/wikka.php?wakka=FactionWebsite for the series that died years ago, and the "Book of the War Apocrypha":http://www.curufea.com/dronid/doku.php)- plus I've recently converted and mirrored Brian Swift's sites - "Rassilon, Omega and the Other guy":http://www.curufea.com/rassilon/ and "The TARDIS Technical Index":http://www.curufea.com/tardis/. Last but not least there's "The Matrix":http://www.matrix.curufea.com/ - a Drupal of fan content submitted to the forums for DWAITAS but now with added metadata :)
Also, I second Dusk's notion! ACHIEVEMENTS FOR ALL! (Well, all who contribute DCS' anyway... I was so confused when I was looking at peoples profiles, and I was seeing achievements, and I felt so left out when I had none)
Embirsiphone: I don't know if you need to watch the episodes to enjoy the game, but I know you need to watch the episodes. If you have $20 and iTunes, you could be knee deep into the new Series within hours.

Ergo I do stuff for DWAITAS now - the folks running things have social skills.
