My name is Rendarin Bourne, but most of my friends just call me Rendarin. I am a ToME 2.3.5 player, but have decided to make the jump into the new ToME 4 so I can be a part of the community. It is my hope that we will get along well, and have fun sharing stories about our characters; I sure was getting bored having no one to share my tales with!
For now I only have two questions regarding how ToME 4 works, and the forum rules, respectively:
When I update ToME 4 to a new version when it is released, will I lose my character from a previous version?
I would like to provide my character reports in the form of a story, complete with different forms of narrative. Are there any rules against how I present my character report? As an example of a possible violation, I will be double posting when I update the story with new content. I have read up on how to properly post a character dump.
I know that I will likely die a lot while learning the ToME 4 mechanics, but I assure you each story will have a unique flavor to it. Thank you for taking the time to read my questions, and thank you to the creators of this great game for giving me an outlet.

To answer the first question Tome 4 is in beta and therefore there is no guarantee that your saved game will last between beta release. SO you may well have to start again.
T4 can run with an online profile. As a result characters you run can be found in the wiki (http://te4.org/wiki/wiki). You can also post in the Character Reports section about your adventures.

Welcome! I haven't touched ToME 2.3.5 (played 2.2x most). But ToME 4 is absolutely amazing.
In terms of the forum rules, looking at your current post, you'll be fine... But generally, just no swearing, no trolling, be nice, etc. Join us on IRC if you want @ http://chat.mibbit.com/#tome@irc.rizon.net.
If you're on-line you can actually ask in the in-game chat any questions, usually there are other players too.
Please note b23 is a bit buggy, if you wait a couple of days b24 should be much more stable.
