I'm not sure about the riding mounts.i had assumed this would mostly take place inside a fortress,and you obviously can't get horses and such in there.I doubt they would still be alive wherever you tied them up by the time you got back,this being a Dorf fortress and all.

Of course,that's a question the Game master will have to answer,not me,I'm just doing a lot of assuming.

Since when did miles of stairways stop horses from running around your fortresses?

Edit: Any objections if i buy an 11' pole instead of a 10' one? 

You do not want to start a length war with 10' poles. It can only end in tears.

Also, it seems like this is DF theme D&D, which suggests that six hundred sleeping dragons cannot fit in a doorway ...

11' poles are a rather standard D+D trope - because most pits are 10'x10'.

i could start earlier on Wednesdays usually, it's just that i have work till 9 this Wednesday =P.

If you want an 11' poll just add 10% of the cost of a 10' pole.

It wont be in just a dwarven fortress, it's in the world of one. Possible extra planar too, but I haven't quite decided about that yet.

If times aren't working out for people, we could move to a play by post style. Those a good for when people are only available at different times. How about Thursday 6pm est?

I'm thinking that confirmation of people joining is when you submit your character to join the campaign on tangled web.

Is there a particular format we're supposed to upload to Tangled Web, or just however we lay it out in a text document?

I'm trying to convert my physical description to a DF-like blurb.  This would be easier if i was playing a dwarf (as its harder to quickly look at lots of elf descriptions).

They have automated character sheets on the site. So that format.

So, do you have enough for the game, or would it be alright if I rolled a character up too? :D

Looking at my schedule for this week. Don't think I'll be able to play on Wensday. If it were an hour earlier, it would be another story.

Sure i could take another player, there are only 3 registered, and maybe a few more planning to. I'm fine if we were to start next week. Gives me more time to come up with a plot outline.

I'm still thinking about it.  Should I make a character sheet for my mule or something?  I'm not sure what to do about my mule and keeping track of it.  A character sheet seems kind of excessive, but it does have its own stats and everything, and that'll help me keep track of how much weight it's carrying.

I just see a place to upload a character sheet, not a place where there is a character sheet.  I suppose i'll poke around a bit more...
