Alright, I got 2 waitlist characters, 1 fully complete character and 2 kinda-sorta done characters. If everyone can get me their sheets in by Friday, I can probably start... Sunday? Might even be later, but from what I'm seeing, hilarity will ensue...

Jee wilikers, I think Highmax is near invulnerable, must have been dunked in the river styx like achilles was.
Just make sure he wears a boot.

Where are the Dark Sun background options? I'm looking through the table of contents for the document, and nothing's jumping out at me as an obvious place for them.

Whats hilarious is themes can change a person entirely. I made a rogue one time that turned into a werewolf, and the funny thing was the bash everything werewolf kept the effects of the rogue in that campaign, inducing a very sneaky werewolf...

He regularly feasted on the local livestock without anyone knowing because he never actually told anyone he was a werewolf. The funniest part was the one time he did was he said he was going back because he had to go take a crap. He sneaks by them by telling the party he found something, rips apart the enemy, and then when the party returned, they actually found him with his pants down to his ankles around the corner, and how they didn't see him was because "he's that good at hiding". Never again did they leave him alone :P

Question time!

What's the starting level?
What's system do you want used for ability score generation?

Hm... I threw together a character, but it looks like not everything from the Player's Handbook 3 is implemented on that website. I think I'll take a step back and go for something out of the first player's handbook. It's a shame that there's simply nothing accessible freely available.

*edit*

Threw together another character and sent you the link, highmax.

The system for scores is roll 4 d6s and take away the lowest. I may allow rerolls for SOME stats

And level 1 is where well begin

Really? I had it use gen 1 (3D6, no rerolls) and just happened to get rather lucky.

Might be 3.5 rules that had that, but it works for 4e.

I've got the basics of a campaign idea down. Now to add things...

Alright, everyone but Officer has a character sheet in. Hopefully he'll send me one via PM.

I'll begin with a little bit of the basics; location, etc. You will all be in the Amn reigon, in the town of Crimmor:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Heres common knowledge on Amn:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm going to note SOME players who have access to the character builder I posted earlier is a different form then mine, and gives "Traits". I will not include these at all, mostly because I don't know any of them and can't see them...

Otherwise, I would like a quick write up about each character. Things that drive them on, weaknesses, strengths, etc. Anything I can start you guys off on.

Even a reason why you are in the Amn area works as well.

I will PM each player before we begin after all backstories are received. I would like them simple, so I can go through them quickly and start faster (sorry storytellers!)

I know that things are going to get chaotic, so there may even be appearences of waitlisters just putzing about, etc.

EDIT:
Oh, I also forgot;

The day is 26 of highsun (eighth month), so its summertime, in the year of the ageless one (1479)

Bouchart was a halfling who got hit in the head one too many times in his youth during rock-throwing competitions.  He lost a front tooth and has a scar above his right ear.  Physically he resembles Alfred E. Neuman, only much more sinister.  All that head trauma affected his personality.  He became suspicious of others and something of an outcast.  He turned to a life of petty crime, stealing wallets and trinkets from shops.  Eventually he decided to test his luck with a jewel heist, and learned of a poorly guarded nobleman's house in Amn.  So he grabbed some thief tools and a knife and headed out there.

I just want to confirm that all players that have a character finished to have a character sheet with their + for their general backgrounds and to have their quick backstory to me by tomorrow or Friday (tomorrow would be best so I can get this kind of going ASAP. I got everything pretty much done for now, ready for our roleplaying and etc.)

I got a map of Crimmor here with some things around town:

Anything not listed I can try and find a spot for it
