Well, things are certainly happening. Just as an aside, I would definitly appreciate all players posting, especially during combat. If I see no post, I'm going to assume that either A) the character is unsure what to do or: b) repeats last rounds' action , whichever seems mor appropriate.
Around round 2 or so, I decided to pick up a trial copy of DM Genie. It works fairly well but i'm still getting used to it. I like the fact that it will do as much or as little as you want it to. Also, it's made keeping track of AC, attack bonuses, skill bonuses, etc. much easier. overall I think I like it. HOwever, I have also used a previous version of RolePlaying Master which was much less cluttered in appearance and seemed to "flow" better. The problem is I longe since ran out of time in my 30 day trial of that...
Mimic, if we get to the point where Prestige Classes are an option, yes. It' depends on how long you guys want to go along with this...
