Okay, let's get started. We will be using Method 2 for generating attributes. Everything from the PHB is legal. 1st level characters. Races from the MM and FRPG are also allowed, with my approval. Swordmage is allowed as a class, if you wish to use it. Material from Martial Power are currently off limits as I do not have the book yet. Any other questions, please post them here.
I'm ready.
Nice.
OK, so we have defender.

If you want defense hire a bodyguard, I attack and kill.
Ba'az ... haven't we met before? ;)
In an Otherworldly post I belive.
No stats as yet, but this halfling cleric of Corellon is ready to leap into action!
In an Otherworldly post I belive.
Ah yes !
I don't dare sign up for another pbp, but I'm just poking my head around the door to wish you all luck.
In an Otherworldly post I belive.Ah yes !
A wizard after my own heart.
Okay so far we have:
Ba'az-Dragonborn Paladin
Jake Nimbletoes- Halfling Cleric
Yrenn- Eladrian Wizard
We are still waiting on the other two players and we will get started. One thing I do want to address, I would like everyone to use Invisible Castle for die rolls. I like it and I have found it easy to use.
On the other hand, if any of your players drop out...
As a present to those of you still making characters, I got a copy of Martial Power and Adventurer's Vault today. You may use that as well as the other books. If the rest of you want to reconsider some of your choices, that's cool to.
On the other hand, if any of your players drop out...
And I'm am going to have to drop out. As I look at my lack of free time in the coming weeks (especially when college goes back), it is very unlikely I will be able to continue playing, and so I figure it best to drop out now.
Well Rev? Are you in?
I surely am.
What do you need?
A striker, old girl! A striker!
I've renamed a couple of my powers and their visual/aural effects will be different, but mechanically they will be the same as the original ones.
Could this be the time for Eth the softly spoken doom bringer to show up?
I'm torn now. I'm half tempted to play a kobold in Snaggletooth's honour.
I've already got one warlock running and I do love them, but a kobold ranger is also quite an appealing prospect.
Snaggletooth could be fun. I have a kobold named Beppo that tends to pop up in my games.
Jake would be on his toes to make sure neither got up to any 'funny business' or 'evil wot-nots'.
What the heck did you call those kobolds in Devil Box when they were masquerading as your unlikely cousins?
Anyway, the vain one with the high opinion of his own abilities could be going to branch out into a life of adventuring having seen the light courtesy of Jake.
And the tiefling warlock gal was always going to be LG if she ever came to pass. She does a lot of needlepoint.
Here's Graynore's character. have full background posted tomorrow.
robin's just posted a ranger so you really don't need another. I'll think again.
I'll get my character sheet tidied up.

Damit now I have to rethink everything. ;)
Edit; nevermind I just remembered the martial power book has bupkis for paladins their new stuff is in the divine powers book coming out later.

I didn't see you were going for the striker before I posted. Originally was going to go with a spellsword. Be happy to change if you want to go the warlock or ranger route.
No don't do that. I'll think some more. I don't normally play melee bods, so maybe I should. Kobold swordmage anyone?
That cracks me up.
"I is real good Jedi!"
Elmo is working hard on improving his image. It's an uphill struggle, partly because he's not that sure what kind of image he wants to improve.
He's most grumpy at the lack of handsome kobold avatars available. None of them do him justice.
That was it... Elmo. :D
Elmo, inveterate diarist and slightly confused kobold swordmage is almost good to go - subject to DM approval of his existence that is.
Okay the game thread is up. Let the fun begin.
I forgot to ask what panthion are we useing?
The one from the PHB.
I haven't done a PBP on these boards before. From what I've seen so far, I assume that:
italics are thoughts.
bold calls attention of players to certain items.
"In quotes" is for speach.
Are there any other specifics I should know before we get this thing rolling? How do you handle rolls? Is there a function set into this website?
Invisible Castle is the best die rolling site I have found. If you want to use it, great. If not I have learned that the best way is to just trust your players. If you want to roll dice at home and post the results, then do so by all means.
Background is now posted.
DM, what do you think about each player pre-rolling a set of initiatives? Over in Pat512's games it's working pretty well.
And
are used for out of character stuff.

Thanks! Let get this role rolling!
DM, what do you think about each player pre-rolling a set of initiatives? Over in Pat512's games it's working pretty well.
Could you explain a little more? I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Each player rolls, say, 10 initiative rolls and then lists them in his/her PC profile. Then for each combat, rather than waiting for everyone to roll, the DM can just look at each profile and draw up the list straightaway when an encounter (be it combat or trap) occurs.
Another way is that used by Kruelaid; in that when an encounter occurs, the first player to post rolls the d20 for initiative and then the list is drawn up from that d20 roll (i.e. everyone adds their own initiative bonus to it). The DM still rolls for monsters of course.
Here's an example of the online spreadsheet Pat's using for maps.
I like the idea of having several initatives rolled up ahead of time. That should be okay. Sadly I suck so badly at spreadsheets that I'm not sure I could make it work. I will try and figure it out though.
Posted 10 pre-rolled inits in Elmo's profile. Most of them are typically very poor indeed :D Use them if you want to.
I have put 10 initiative rolls into Logan's profile.
My apologies to DM Dave for lobbing yet another suggestion (I think you are doing a great job so far, BTW). To speed up combat can we try grouping players and NPCs into blocks? Our order is currently
Logan
the gatekeeper
Jake
Elmo
Yrenn
the shadowy figures
Ba'az
In blocks the order would be
1) Logan
2) Gatekeeper
3) Jake, Elmo, Yrenn
4) Shadowy figures
5) Ba'az
So no one within block #3 has to wait for the other to post first.
Okay, so waht do you think of the game so far? What do you like, What don't you like? what would you do differently? Please feel free to give your honest opinions.
