Ok. A few words on me as a GM. just so everybody gets the monkey's headspace.
1. I am not great at rules. I am a storyteller. I do my best, but if I mess up on something, please do not hesitate to point it out. I will not be offended, pinky swear.
2. We are playing an AP, actually the first I am going to run as an AP, unmodified (well, who knows till we are inside, but that's the intent). As such, this is new territory for me.
3. We have a brand-new player, my wife Heather. She will be statting up a character. If you folks with the numbers-fu could help me explain stuff I'd appreciate it.
4. Sometimes, life happens. I am just getting back into posting and I am hoping to keep it up. I will endeavor to post up at least once every couple of days, hopefully more. I would appreciate the same courtesy. If there will be an extended absence, I will post it here.
5. I want us all to have fun, that is the primary function. I don't like TPKs, or killing characters off, but it is a possibility. I am very open to customization, and I have no problem with 3rd party publisher's material.
6. I do reserve Final Authority. I am open to debate, and I am usually willing to retcon, but I do make the final call.
That's it so far.

Gaelin Northvein |

I have some stats up. Thoughts?
The concept is that he is of Ulfen stock, but raised in Taldor. Outwardly, he bears the manners and smooth speech of the Taldane folk, but in battle, his northern blood takes over and he goes into a rage.
I've never actually played a barbarian before, but I like those raging power attack bonuses. My goodness...

Tama, Moon's Daughter |

Character stats are done, background to follow.
Concept is that she's a wandering do-gooder favored by the ancestral spirits of her clan, the Lyrune-Quah. Does pretty typical paladin stuff RP-wise, but carries a giant-ass bow, wears light armor, and can't fight in melee worth a damn.

There is actually a subset of Ulfen (from the Land of the Linnorm Kings) society called the Ulfen Guard who work in Taldor as Prince Stavian III's personal bodyguards. It is quite conceivable that Gaelin is a junior member of this unit, as they operate at Stavian's behest throughout the Inner Sea Region.
There is an Ulfen Guard PrC in the new Inner Sea Combat Campaign Book if you're interested Max.

Every time I see "Jeydavu" I think "Deja vu". Is it an intentional play on words?
no, I was looking at the list of Oread names in the advanced race guide and it just latched onto me.
Funny, when I tried to make the Alias for this character Jeydavu was already taken, hence the Hellirinn addition.

So for completed characters we have:
Flash - Ecaterina Tredyakovskaya - Winter Witch (arcane caster)
CH - Gaelin Northvein - Barbarian (definitely melee)
Shiny - Tama, Moon's Daughter - Paladin (non-melee)
Tordek - Jeydavu of Hellirinn - Arctic Druid (melee focused)
Still to come
Patrick's wife's Rogue
Woodhaven - Monk

I'm sorry to hear that your frustration has reached the point where you feel compelled to leave. Not a good sign when a charter subscriber leaves for that reason.
I am still very interested in playing so if you decide to restart on a new board, I'll be there. Just let me know where.

To everyone:
I am dropping this to apologize for my absenteism. I was dealing with a bunch of Real Life issues, and time never seemed to be there for me. I have a moment today, but I wanted to just say thanks for putting up with my absences.
I am also dedicating myself to getting this rolling. I am going to step in for my wife, who is far busier than I, and can't get the time to get involved, alas. Could everyone shout out who is still engaged? I will get things kicking and I want to see where we are.
