When you have the avatar and the deck, PM them to me.
Include the following things:

DIBS!!!!

Alright cool, send me a PM with your Avatar and the 'member' you'd like to be.

[UTAlan]

Count me in!

[ZephyrPhantom]

Dibs.

[Jen-i]

Undibs - I've got too much going on right now apparently to try to fit this in a well - instead take my earlier Dibs as a hearty endorsement of this game!

I'm in. I'd like to request the shockwave/weapon themed character.

Tseem
Tseem likes people and Exquisite craftsmanship. He meticulously designs and builds his own weapons and armor, and is always eager to try out his latest work of art. He is trusting, honest and adventurous by nature, and has rarely called the same place home for long. He seems to possess a knack for altering the weather and environment around himself, and is often surrounded by oddly localized phenomena such as miniature thunderstorms or heatwaves. While his words and attitude are almost always cheerful even in conflict or danger, his local weather is much less stable, and will often lash out violently to protect him.

Looks really interesting but can't find any rules thread or some explanation of what to expect.

Basically, you make decks with various restrictions (most are shown in the first post above, and others come with the various rounds). There are a certain number of matches each round and players volunteer to be assigned a match if they want (so it's fairly relaxed so far as scheduling). You get to change decks between matches but the opponents either can't or have a very limited number of decks to choose from, so your success is mostly determined by how good your are at building counterdecks (it's a good learning experience if you're not). Lastly, some of us like to roleplay our characters a little, (see my post above) but that's optional.

It's fun. I'd encourage you or anyone else who's interested to go ahead and join while there's space left.

Count me in. May I request the earth/life slot?

Leafa and Daul
(http://tektek.org/avatar/48519659)

Leafa was found wandering the wilderness guarded by a strange animal she calls Daul. They are staying at my inn for a good week now. As I get to know her better, I reallize she never met her parents, Daul is what she calls family. Growing in the forests she learned the ways of the forest spirits and life elementals, becoming a master healer as she prooved to me the other day *that @#$%ing knife*. She is really shy not talking much,  giving the impression she feels awkward among humans. Today she looked different with a spark in her eyes talking to Daul, starring at the mace she calls "Pulverizer"
