Okay.

Just make sure to be ready to play. Teaching people how to play on the spot is the best way to kill the fun of a game.

Although frowned upon it is possible to play as one of the original classes using only the SDR

Frowned upon? Who frowns upon that? And why? WOTC made the SRD available for free online; they had to expect people would use it. Especially now that the books are out of print.
Mind you, the books are still good to have; there's a fair amount of noncritical but useful stuff that's not in the SRD, and the books are just nicer than the websites in general. But I don't see any real problems in doing without, either.

I frown upon it for the reasons you just said.

Looking up 'noncritical' stuff for people without books is a pain.

Great, no more necromancers.  The idea of turning into an undead so you can kill a guy who can rebuke/command undead seems like a silly thing to do.

Ok I have been reading up on druids, and I want my companion to be a wolf.

[Atomicdremora]

I can do saturdays or sundays 10:00 PM GMT.
Because I'm scottish like that.
which group should I join?

[Cthulhu]

Probably the one on Sunday 10PM GMT

:|

[Atomicdremora]

Consider the sunday group mine then. can we get a list of who's playing when on the OP?

[adwarf]

I will play everyday there is a game.

[Cthulhu]

There are two different groups, I doubt you'll be allowed to play in both.

[Criptfeind]

I, for one, vote adwarf plays with the saterday group.

[Heron TSG]

I don't mind either way, though I would prefer not having to teach someone how to play instead of playing.

[Cthulhu]

I, for one, vote adwarf plays with the saterday group.

I agree.

[Criptfeind]

And with everyone I remember clearly voted, and with a vote of 2 to apathy, the motion for adwarf to play on saterday passes.

Sadly for adwar I don’t think there is a day called ‘saterday’ better luck next time chap.

[Grek]

I'll be playing one or the other. Which depends on the group dynamics and who needs some roguing more.

Also, updated character sheet, now that I know I'm not going to be able to bewight myself before CL1 and that we're doing 4d6r1, not 3d6 straight:

Backstory:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Maxus Listel was, once upon a time, son of a poison maker in the employ of a lord. He learned that trade from his father, as his father did from his father's father and his father's father before that. He intended to take on his father's trade in due time, and pass on the trade to his eldest child, as was family tradition. Such did not come to pass, for his adopted brother was envious of his position, and sought to kill him using his father's trade. Fearing for his life, young Maxus fled from his family and became a rogue and a scoundrel, seeking both the riches he thought he would have as a child, and revenge against his wicked stepbrother.

Maxus remains a faithful worshiper of Listor, for he beleives in his heart of hearts that Listor will some day guide him to greatness under a mighty ruler, and give him justice against those that have wronged him. He is loathe to violate the laws of any realm lead by a ruler of the true faith, but cares not for the laws of the infidels.

Maxus also seeks to restore himself to good health, and further proof himself against sickness and disease. He is not picky how to make himself immune, and is currently considering, very strongly, a necromantic solution to what ails him.

Oh haha anyways I have read up on druids, and know quite a bit already.
