Okay, Nerdytenor, you are counted in, and the count is at four!
I'm aiming to start after I get the PHB2, since like Sessadore said, only having the wizard as the controller option is predictable. Since we know the races and classes from it, though, I can tell everyone their character beforehand, but I want to make sure our group is complete when I do that.
Yes, you wake up in a room with strange people, but can familiarize yourself with your character and group before going into the next room, for this one is empty besides the PCs.
I can just imagine a campaign where you battle only solo monsters and NPCs. Awesome.
Yes, I realize that 30 is aiming high, but my philosophy is that its better to aim high and not reach it than to plan for less and regret it. And who knows, maybe we will be playing for years! Also, you never know what could happen in the Ultimate Dungeon. I'll leave it at that.
I want to apologize now if you get a character you don't like. Just don't purposfully kill them. =)
Smileys rock, and go hand in hand with D&D. XP is experience points, but also a smiley scrunching its eyes and sticking out its tongue.
