That sounds good to me, the idea of one or so evenings a week sounds great,
I enjoyed Neverwinter Nights a hell of a lot more online with you guys than
I did single player but I missed out a lot due to the aggressive schedule
that the game was being played on. And I'm in no real rush to get to level
10 (particularly because there's no real end game that I can see).

And well, if it's not enough time, I can either start a second character
(with my personal "no spoilers" guarantee) or carry on in WoW, still have to
get the last 2 levels for my rogue and there're raids galore and so on. I
contracted altitis in WoW, I have about 12-15 characters spread across 3
servers.

As for group structure... since DnD is much more open ended than WoW etc

Well, you've got the basics covered so I can do whatever I want. Go me!
Either way look for Anya, the feisty redhead. I've "reserved" the name on
Bolderei, she's currently a cleric... or ranger... or something. :)

I might go for a martial class, I'd love to be a (missile) ranger, tbh the
last few D&D chars I rolled have been rangers, I just never get to *play*
one. A ranger would also come in handy for backing up the Rogue (i.e.
providing a second target for the enemies). :)

Hmmm an Elven cleric would also get ranged weapons... might be an option.
Its a tough choice.

Or a paladin. Gah! Curse your wealth of choice D&D!

One of the things we're sort of trying to do (more guideline than hard

Dalton = token jar opener, spider remover and back hair dispenser: check!
Us = shexay chix: check!

This week Leigh is in the US so I don't think we'll be doing "new" stuff

Gief XP plix!  I'd love to play a wee bit with youse all tomorrow.

I'll play Anya tonight to get her out of the port area, unless you still
have to do that tomorrow? (The quests for Lord Greenblade and so on to get
into the port proper).

What's the story with Mike D? He still interested? Conor? If he was...

It'd be great to have a full group alrighty!

Mike.
