[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6766045, member: 11146"] Silly. Of course. Everyone here is a friend. You wait, I'd lay money that after a little while of gaming together you'll call some of us [I]good[/I] friends, even. My bad about several of you taking off for Thanksgiving without bringing a PHB; I said I'd post this bad boy on Dec 1, then got hot under the collar to get it rolling early. Ya'll can be reading along here and there and mulling over concepts in your heads until your return. For my part, I will be here and present to answer questions. My spouse is a pastor, so Thanksgiving and Christmas are high holy work weeks in this house; we don't travel anywhere. Our home is where others congregate, and I'm the primary chef, but other than that, I'll be kicking around the site for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Don't try to find me the second week in June, though. That's beach time, baby. So far, no one has definitively spoken up for a caster roll. One person made mention to me via PM about possibly playing a caster, but hasn't decided yet what route to take. If we wind up without a spellcaster, that'll be fun. I can make anything work. You guys' job in the here and now is to draft the character that [B]you most want to play.[/B] This is to be a long-running game, so it's important to me that everyone have the character they most want.
