Hi! I just want to create a very simple RPG for my forum. All of the hacks I've found are outdated, or over complex or both. Basically, here's what I need:

- I want my users to be able to have a character on their account. Basically, if I had a username called 1, I'd want my username to show up as 2 in just the RPG forum.

- I'd also like the user to have a different avatar in the RPG, as well as a different sig.

That's pretty much it, really. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I think the best way to go about this is with user profile fields, then use if statements on the postbit template to display the user profile fields instead of the usual username, avatar and sig.

Hm, that could work. I don't know why I didn't think of that before, haha! Thank you! :]

Okay, I have most of it figured out, except I can't figure out how to make the avatars different. I was thinking maybe I could create a phrase and just replace it in the RPG style's postbit, but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm not great with phrases, so could anyone help me with that? Or is there another way, like maybe I can do it with profile fields and I just can't figure it out? Thanks!
