Thanx to everyone who posted additional stuff over the weekend. I've made my final decisions on the last three characters, and it was a difficult one. In the end I just had to go with my gut on what would work best for the group, and the adventure the party is going on. If you weren't selected, my sincerest apologies for all your hard work, and you'll definitely be on my "to call" list should I need to bring in another character at a later point.
My last three selections are as follows:
Amycothe Dyne [Greatfrito]
Nelson Luttin [James Heard]
Taviss Jarga [Ringmereth]
For you three new selections as well as my previous five... I have put up a Rogue's Gallery thread which I'd love if you could all post your characters to. Please post ONLY your characters (history, appearance, crunch sheet) to that thread so that we can keep it clean. All questions/comments should be made over here. This way the thread will only consist of the eight character posts for easy viewing.
I'd also like to let you all know of the posting conventions I'd like to use once the game begins. It's standard PbP conventions really. Please select a dialogue color for yourself if you haven't already. All in-character dialogue should be in quotes and in that color. All of your character's thoughts should be in
italics. All descriptions and such should be in standard white. All out-of-character (OOC) info you need to use in-post should either be prefaced by
OOC: or you can put it in an sblock for any hidden views.
An example is thus...
*********
"Where are you going?" Bob shouts, as the water level rises.
I'm so dead.
OOC: How fast is the water rising in the trap?
**********
Rolling dice can be done one of two ways (whichever is best for you personally). Either you can roll using invisible castle and link the rolls in your post, or you can have me roll for you. I myself don't use invisible castle for games I GM... I just use a random number generator and write out the results in-game. If you are afraid of me "cheating" on rolls... then you can roll them yourself.

Otherwise, I'd be happy to do them.
Finally... for drothgery... go ahead and select as much jewelery and outfits as you need to fluff your character. I won't count it against your total starting GP (but I also won't let you sell it all for spending money either.)
Thanx much everybody, and I hope you all have a lot of fun. I'll be starting the game once we're all in place, everyone has posted and finalized their characters, and any further history tweakings to account for the new players has taken place. I'm guesing either Wed or Thu.
