Looking good, everyone! As soon as I have Saber's background, I'll start making some little character summaries (for me to use) and post a link to the beginning of the game.

Despite the fact that I'm still waiting on some background for Saber, I'm rarin' to go, and I've got enough info to get started; probably tomorrow sometime.
I'm going to call this game "The Whisperer in Darkness" named after the Lovecraft story of the same name (although don't go expecting mi-go to pop up in the Eldeen Reaches!
and all future threads will refer to the game by that title.
If I could get you all to please cut and paste your characters into this Rogue's Gallery thread, that would be much appreciated; it'd help me keep everything straight as we play.
I haven't run too many Pbp games in the past, so I'm not sure I've worked out an ettiquite for things like rolling and whatnot that works well and also doesn't bog the game down, but my thoughts are this -- if you're going to attempt something that you know involves a check, go ahead and roll when you tell me you want to do it. For things like Spot and Listen checks, and some others like that, I'll roll for you when something that requires them comes up.
For dice rolling, I'm thinking of using the ENWorld dice tool, assuming that's still active. EDIT: And it looks like it's not. Instead, how about Nadaka's Dicebox for dice rolls, and be sure and show a link to the roll in your post when rolling; like so (format is example only; you don't have to follow it exactly):
Test Roll = 24.
Go ahead and total up any modifiers in the post if needed, and that'll keep me from flipping too much between the game thread and the Rogue's Gallery thread. Please don't use colors to separate different types of text -- I browse in Stealth mode, and because those colors are largely opposite of default mode, few colors work well in both modes. Any OT comments that need to be made in the game thread can be italicised to separate it.
Hmmm... anything else? I can't think of any off the top of my head. If you can all go put your characters in the Rogue's Gallery thread, then I'll be ready to start up tomorrow; or heck, maybe even later today.

Hey give me a breakHarvey said:With a name like Saber, you wouldn;t be working for the Lord of Blades, would you?
I'm new to Eberron and I noticed the name in the sample adventure in the Eberron campaign guide.If I get a chance to right up his background, I'll change his name at the same time.

Here's the game thread: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=2374311
Have at it! I don't know exactly how much I'll be able to check on the boards this weekend - Monday is a holiday, we have family coming in town, and I may be lucky to pop in once or twice until Tuesday. By next week, I'll be back to two or three times a day, though.
