Okay I'm in..so what sort of campaign will the group play? care to tell about the story etc? when will we play?
We have already begun. We play about every two or three weeks, but we switch between two dungeon masters and two sets characters each session.
On Saturday, June 23 at 1:00 pm (which is 2:00 am Sunday for me, about midnight on the cusp of Saturday and Sunday for you) we will play in Chris's campaign for the second time. The party in that campaign has a Warlord, an Archer Ranger, a Warden and a Druid. We ought to have an Arcane character, possibly a Striker, but it is up to you since all the bases are covered.
Here is a thread at the Wizards' forum.
Organization Thread for On-line 4th Edition
We do not actually use it much, but it does have my character's background which I wrote at the dungeon master Chris's request and an account of our first session in his game.
I will send an email to Chris right now mentioning you, and hopefully you two can get in touch and organized by this weekend.
We play using Skype, so have a web camera and a microphone.
Characters use the old (still) downloadable Character Builder, but you can send him a pdf of a character from the new one if you want. Essentials classes are allowed, but no Themes however. We are still at the first level currently.
