Alright, Babe in the Woods is finally done with the final battle, and will most likely be done before Monday.
I'd like all of you to go over your characters, finish them off, polish them, add a sprig of parsley, and have them ready for presentation on Monday. In the unlikely event that the Woods carries on beyond that, I'll do my final review of characters the day after the woods officially ends.
When I review your character, it should be complete. If it isn't, we won't be able to start until it is. Once I've approved all your characters, I'll create the IC thread, and we will begin play. Should have questions about your char, or need assistance, I'll try to be available all today, most of tomorrow, and most of Sunday and Monday. Saturday will not be possible. If I'm not available, ask your co-players. Many of them are equally, or more talented than me and can be a valuable resource. Especially when it comes to making sure that your characters are compatible.
Make sure that you are about to start playing the character that you have always dreamed of playing. This campaign will go all the way to level 20. If you look how many months it has taken the shadows game to get to level 4, you will realize that means this game will last for more than a year. If you get tired of your character before we hit level 4, you will probably not enjoy the game nearly as much as you would otherwise.
However, also keep in mind that characters die sometimes. Should that happen, you should have a backup in mind to serve as a replacement. Something you will be equally satisfied with for the long term.
