They used to use bitlocker for the RPG for stats and things, but it got so complicated... then Bitlocker closed down, anyway.
This might be useful (although I think the links need repairing). Basically just think up a character, and what they would behave like, then try to find a storyline. The "Main" plot has finished for now, so we're, well... not even chugging, at the moment... We're basically playing it like an add-on fic, although you only play your character. No stats or anything, just read the rules (see that link there, *points up*) and then find a place to fit in.
As an aside, I need to introduce my new two... Oh well, I'll do that when I get back off holly-day.
