| Pre-Gen characters usually work best for me at Cons too. That way you know what they can do and have no surprises. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Well, if you're taking requests could you make sure one of them is a Spellscarred Warforged Shaman from Akanûl, please? 
In all seriousness, if it would save you any work, I for one can roll up one or more fifth level characters using the DMG rules for starting at higher level. Or I'll happily play whatever I'm handed.

| Anyone can bring a 5th level character, I will just include some pre-gen ones for those who just want to snatch up a character and run with it :) |

If you don't mind, Matt, I'll make a few as well.
(Including one for myself, if I end up playing . . .)
Did we decide on the standard module that everyone's going to run, or are we going to have different DMs running different ones?

Hmmm... For the Pathfinder/3.5 conversion, I will provide pre-generated characters as well. Being that I volunteered to GM, I should be getting a NDA'd photocopy of the final rules prior to the con, so they will be built with the final rules.
If you bring your own, I'd recommend attending their seminar (Pathfinder RPG Conversion & Creation Q & A) to get characters up to date to the final rules. |

Cool. I've got a wood elf cleric of Solonor Thelandira I've been playing around with; a 4E Sy-Tel'Quessir archer-priest strikes me as having a lot of "harmony," if that makes any sense.
That said, I'll probably do what I usually do in these situations and bring "one of each" (in 4E that'll translate to a leader, a controller, a defender, and a striker), so I can fill in the gaps.
Cheers,

Anyone is welcome to bring a legal character based off of the Living Forgotten Realms guidelines. I have included a link to a zip file that wizards has for character creation. It's nothing crazy.

One month to go!
So, let's get a roll call of Scribes attending (and who's interested in the Candlekeep adventures being prepared)! |

Good point, Erik.
I volunteered with Paizo for Thursday night and Sunday afternoon and I have a game on Friday night... |

I'll be there. The Realms seminar and a couple of lunches are the only things I have to schedule around. Somebody holler about what and whether on bringing characters and so on.

I'll be there.
Scribes should be aware that the 'Realms Block' this year is Friday from 2pm to 6 pm: Spin a Yarn with Ed Greenwood followed by The D&D World of the Forgotten Realms (what used to be called "Secrets of the Forgotten Realms," up until last year).
I'm booked pretty solid on Friday, and most of Thursday, but Saturday and Sunday are fairly open for any folks that want to chat, quiz, or query. If you're foolish enough to buy anything I've written, I'm even happy to sign it! :P |

I'll be around except on Sat afternoon and Sat night. Going to see Tut on Sat afternoon and the costume ball on Sat night.
If someone wants to plan a meet and greet, or whatever, ya'll better start getting the details worked out. A month isn't that far away!
As I said, it seemed to work out better if we meet outside the con, least six, or so, of us found each other last year. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| We can plan to do the adventure on Sunday if everyone wants. Other than that, I don't have my schedule in front of me. I'm assuming I will be running into many of you during the seminars anyways ;) |

I'll be there (badge came in the mail today!!!), and like Kuje, the only things I have definitely planned are Saturday afternoon and evening. If it works out, I'd be interested in the Pathfinder game.  |
Ack! I seem to have too much blood in my coffee stream!
