I am looking to start this whenever everyone is ready. I am working with maptool to create maps, etc right now, so that is tedious. I can also create custom tokens for each character. If you want one for a specific character image, let me know and put the image on your character sheet. I can then crop what I need to create the tokens.
I am hoping to use decent maps for any encounters, but this will be new to me, so please bear with me.
If we can all set a goal for 2 weeks to get everything sorted, I think we can start around the 25th of August at latest. We still have one slot open, in case you know of anyone that would like to play another campaign. Otherwise, it's 5 characters, which should work fine.

Any image that looks remotely appropriate is fine on my part too. 
Olek's background is below. I got carried away. Sorry...
[sblock=Background]Olek is the youngest of three sons born to Ovo Hammerblow, patriarch of the Stonebreaker clan - renowned stone masons and sculptors. He was born and raised in the isolationist stronghold of Khordaldrum, high in the Hunchback Mountains. Ovo Hammerblow was, and still is, a remarkably accomplished sculptor of stone - keeping alive the family craft of uncounted generations.
As a child, Olek showed little interest in religion, though like all Dwarves he attended, without compaint, the weekly sermons and lessons on the way Moradin intended the Dwarves to live. That all changed shortly after his 30th birthday, when he joined the militia for his mandatory 5 year service. Olek was one of the unfortunate ones, who saw active and sustained service in the tunnels and outposts of the stronghold, battling against a migration of Trolls for more than 3 years. Here, he witnessed one aspect of the true power of Moradin, protector and creator of the Dwarves. Watching the Clerics stride up and down battle lines, extracting every last ounce of effort and exertion from the troops and stepping in personally when the line faltered was truly inspiring for the young Dwarf. Olek began to attend the daily prayer sessions and sought to know everything about the special bond between Moradin and his mortal servants, while never truly experiencing it himself.
At the end of his militia service Olek knew that he could not remain in the Khordaldrum in the manner of his forefathers. Seeking to avoid the shame this would bring to his clan, and his father particularly, he sought approval from the priests of Moradin to travel the world as an emmissary to the world. The elder priest, Kazak, heard of Olek's request and took personal interest. Kazak had heard of a human settlement several weeks march from the Hunchback Mountains named Springfield where representatives from many races gathered together to learn from a wise master. Bidding Olek to go forth and win glory and riches for his clan, Kazak also charged the young Dwarf with reigniting old clan ties. Khordaldrum had been isolated for generations; Kazak feared its decline and eventual destruction.[/sblock]

Uh, I already went through your sheet Sphyh. Look 6 posts before this one, here in this OOC forum. You should see the one where it has your character sheet for Silvas with the notes.
Again, I have not gone through equipment, as I will do that last. It tends to be the thing that changes the most before a campaign begins.
I don't mind writing character backgrounds, though I tend to go overboard in detail. Send me a PM with a few concepts or ideas you may have and I'll help you flesh it out.

I always had trouble making backgrounds. I am better at the creation of personalities for a character, but never why he got like how he is.
Background will have to wait till after work though. Don't want to post three paragraph on a cellphone keyboard...
