i was thinking that we should have a time periode as to when this is taking place so that we dont have a Harr potter thats 22 and a Neville Longbottom thats 50. It wouldnt make any sense and would confuse people

I was thinking that most people would be around 30 something because I want them to have children.

thats sounds like a good idea that way things wont get confusing

wait I prefer that Harry be in his fifties, so this rpg could be the next generation. I don't want any characters from the books to be played unless it is the children

That sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe you should have certain forums a time period so that you can have those certain charectors.
