I'm back. And sorry. Back and sorry. I just realized how long I've neglected my post here. So I'm going to offer to step down. THere seem to be many others looking over the character thread (which I was just doing when I finally got to reading the excellent post by Nimisgod (through CS)). I'd still like to help out, but given my extended absence it may be best to just give the job to somebody else (Nimisgod obviously being a good choice). Even if somebody else wants to take over character judging, I'm planning on throwing together an adventure to run, since we are in need of DMs.
One possible solution is to split the judging responsabilities: bring on a new judge to work with me on characters. That way we have a better chance of getting on things. I know that my past absence makes my reliability doubtful, so I'll also just stand down and let somebody take over if that seems best. As it is, I'm going to check over Mimisgod's list again (not that I doubt the work, I just want to compare the errors (he/she?) found with the ones I found) and add any characters we both agree to be solid to the approved list. Then, I'm going to wait and see what you guys want to do with me.
