If we now take a step back and assume you can pull this off :)
Why not go to a friend who has a PC, go to the library or even an internet cafe you could start some research and perhaps get a gmail account and store all designs on google docs (free cloud doc service).
If you could get to a pc that allows you to install your own software (library + internet cafe properly does not) you could try some game making software and learn that first. Could allow you do do most of it yourself with some hard work. RPG maker and Game maker springs to mind. I don't use that kind of software, so their might be other great products.
how to start a rpg game
Or get a partime job in order to buy a used laptop or something. RPG + game maker is 2D only so even an old laptop should be usable here. (or even borrow money for it from friends and relatives. It all depends on how much you want this)
Do you realise that what you're asking is exactly the same as:
I want to make military aircraft. I have this great idea for some planes that go really fast and do cool things but I don't know anything about flight, and don't have access to any of the tools I need. I drew a plane, how can I make it into a real plane?
You need to get a proper design done. Have a look on Google, etc for design documents, that's what you need to write, not a few badly formatted paragraphs about random characters. From the information you've given, I can assume that you want to make a 2D non-interactive text-based RPG for the BBC micro, and nothing you've said so far says otherwise.

No offense, but how do you guys know he isn't trolling?
A "Digital Artist" without access to a PC? Can't quite put my finger on it, but something seems wrong here...
In case this is not trolling:
There simply is no way around getting a PC/laptop. After all you seem to be struggling with every sentence you post through your cellphone. Apart from getting a cheap netbook, do you have any schoolmates who buy a new PC every 6 months or so? I sometimes used to buy (a few months or a year) "old" hardware from friends.

Ok, it's time for a reality check man. Instead of overlooking everyone's advice and just saying "I need a team, help plz" to whatever we say, I want you to seriously pay attention right now. I'm not kidding either, even though I think you are.
There isn't just a random bunch of talented people that "want to help a random guy build a team to make a game". They don't exist. People that actually have talent and proven skill join teams that have the same level of competency. Everyone thinks they have the next great idea for a video game, but only a handful of people can actually turn that into something -- those people are generally already employed making a lot of cash building games.
If you want a team, prove that your time and idea is worthy of their own. What does this practically mean?
1.) Stop 'looking for a team'.
1.1) Seriously, stop 'looking for a team'.
2.) Pick up a book on game development and discover that it's actually pretty difficult, but the rewards are always very great if achieved. We are no longer in the playground. :)
3.) Get comfortable with a programming language, like C# or Python for starters.
4.) Get a more detailed game design document fully fledged and laid out. Plan EVERY SINGLE DETAIL about you game. Everything -- to the point that every single question about your game can be answered by looking at a document.
5.) Perhaps join a team that already has some progress and learn from them. This is number 5 for a reason, don't just hop to number 5 and pretend it's number one. I've been in your situation before and I give good advice.
Have at it man. ;)

Is this a joke or what
I'm not joking ok I just
need a team that to help
me make my rpg game
You are not ready to work with a team. Stop asking for one.
- You need access to a computer for this type of project, and you'll need it to either have appropriate software installed, or to be able to do so yourself. Options include:
- Saving up to buy one. If this is what you're aiming for then stop looking for help until you have one.
- If you're a student you probably have computer access at your educational institution. Check if it has the software you require (at minimum as a digital artist you'll need a graphics package you're familiar with) or if you're able to have the software installed.
- See if any internet cafes or libraries in your area provide computer access with the appropriate software installed, or if you're able to get an appropriate package to run portably off a usb thumb-drive.
- Unless you can find helpers in person your notebook of ideas is for all intents and purposes useless, as you are unable to share it with team members. You should get all that stuff typed up before you look for a team.
- Don't apologize in advance for your spelling/grammar/lack of punctuation. Fix it instead. Communication is very important when working with programmers; you don't have to be perfect, but at minimum you should know that a period goes at the end of each sentence.
To reiterate, STOP looking for a team until you're ready to actually work with one:

You need one of these three things:
- A real game design document which sounds fun from the first page.
- A working demo of a something that at least behaves like a game.
- A real portfolio of artwork, preferably artwork for this game.
If you're really serious about this then don't make another useless post begging for a team and go do some work.
I'm going to close your threads unless you can show that you've made progress towards:
- Getting computer access.
- Typing up your ideas properly in an organized document (NOT just added into a post).
- At least TRYING to use some punctuation.
Good luck! [smile]
