Dayton Williams Intro
Hello, intrepid ones!
I've recently stumbled upon these PBP areas of EnWorld's site and have read the campaign threads of this game with interest. I have never played a PBP game before, but have had a number of years of experience at DM'ing and playing a variety of RPG's, including a stint as the GM for a CoC game some number of years ago. I'd like to join you if you'd allow me to do so.
I have quite a few Chaosium handbooks and just ordered the D20 CoC manual. When it arrives in the mail this week or next, I'll be ready to roll up a character.
I've scanned your current player listings and have the following draft player background that might fill in a few skills gaps in the team:
Dayton Williams
Age: 23
Current Occupation: Mechanic and backup orderly at the Arkham Asylum
Former Occupation: Semi-professional Baseball Player; cut from the team last year
Strengths: Strong and agile, great throwing arm, good (but not expert yet) mechanic, some knowledge of hospital procedures and healing techniques from the past year of working as backup orderly at the asylum.
Involvement with team: Has met and had occasional chats with the good Doctor (and his attending physicians and nurses) in the asylum. Saw the team come to meet with him.
Isida, let me know if you approve my admittance and whether I should alter my background. As mentioned, I'll add stats, skills, etc. upon arrival of my D20 handbook (or alternatively, you can roll up my stats and skills and I'll get started right away).
Joe (aka Dayton)

DRAFT background and photos were posted here.
I intend to add all statistics, and refine my background, once my D20 manual arrives. Meanwhile, I'll remain vigilant to the activities of the team.
I'm also learning how to use the EnWorld bulletin board, testing how to post photos, add URL links, etc., so I hope that you all will have a bit of patience with my feeble starting attempts.

Isida,
I received the D20 CoC manual today, rolled up D.L.'s stats, and completed his character sheet. Your Nakada's Dicebox link must've been an old one, but I found it here.
All of my rolls are posted under "jdeleski".
I emulated the character sheet format from your initial post and from the other players, but was a little confused about how to calculate HP. I examined everyone's sheets to confirm how to calculate the HP, but they all seemed to be using different formulas? You might want to check all of those totals and let me know if I've done it correctly.
I struggled with which skills and feats to pick, but eventually settled on sets that matched my character's background and previous occupations.
Since D.L. observed the team of players in their meeting with Professor Witherspoon (according to my writeup, if you approve), and was intending to question them at some point about their suspicious behaviors and comments, I think that I could enter the game where they are confronting the dog under the assumption that D.L. was trailing them into the forest. I normally carry my pistol at work (hidden in my rear holster) since I've become wary of the inmates.
Thanks,
D.L.

CHANGE REQUEST: DL Williams' Character Sheet
Isida,
I made note of 2 areas on my character sheet that I'm requesting to update/change. Please let me know if you approve or not and, if so, I'll update my character sheet.

- My character should've recieved an additional ability point at level 4, but I neglected to add it (this can be verified against my dicebox rolls). If it's OK, I'd like to add it to his Str, changing it from 17 to 18. This would increase a few skill ranks that are based on Str and also my melee attack.
- I noticed that 3 characters have used the Defense Bonus Variant on pg 15 in the D20 CoC handbook (i.e. ACG Llewellyn, Adon Ashe, and Pat O'Donald) and have added +2 to their AC's. To balance the variant bonuses, this means that those of us with the Offense Option (i.e. DL, Daisy, and Agatha) should've received an extra Weapon Proficiency feat at level 1. If you agree to this, DL would take a weapon proficiency feat in pistols.
