Excellent. I'll get the other threads up today as well.

To everyone else: Character spots are full, but if anyone else has any ideas or input and wants to contribute, I'll be more than appreciative.

I'm kind of in the opposite situation from you guys. We had a group that gamed once or twice a week........... and now we never get together. I miss it lol

It's been a couple of years since I was in a face to face group. It may be a month or so still until I can get this one together as well; hopefully things will stay on track until then. At lest it'll give us plenty of time to get things ironed out.

How is your group going to decide on stats? Just like the book and roll? If at all possible, I'd like to stick to your idea as closely as we can. Heck, I'd like to think that if they wanted, they could just pick up my elf and play him. I am assuming that since they are totally new, it's going to be pretty much by the book. So........ that's how I will build him lol.

double post, sorry.

One thing that I've picked up from ENWorld that I will be taking to the table with me as well is the point buy system. Never used it before I started playing here, but now that I have I love it. The creation guidelines are in the first post. Characters should be built using 28 points. That is, I believe, standard for point buy.
