(Thankfully, Candlekeep is back in operation, after spending a weekend in Oblivion.  )
When you resend, please give me a warning; I've been waiding through the ISP's spam-traps, just to make sure you haven't been caught in them. Too much gets through as it is. Work's kept me too busy to make headway on working on a local (tabletop) campaign, so this is the only place I can get my D&D fix

Yes...
I've fallen behind on everything since I returned from my trip. It's going to take me a few more days to get back on top of it all. I should have a rough idea about for a gaming schedule next week.

Do you have an estimated date for the beginning of the campaign? |

As I was telling the Bookwyrm yesterday, I'm going to be releasing some details about the start of the PbeM about this time next week (along with some special news).
I know it's been a long time coming, but I'm fairly confident that we can all finally get a start on this...

All details pertaining to the work on my website are currently located in my blog. I'll provide an address for that shortly.
As for the player accounting, as far as I know, I've received emails from everyone who intends to participate in the game, but only from those who don't visit Candlekeep.

Because you're only observing for the time being, it's highly likely that you'll learn what the special news is before the players...

That's also if my "special" spam-traps stops acting like a hyperactive but incredibly dim-witted Chihuahua and actually behaves properly this time. |

Just to refresh my poor memory, could everyone that will be an active PLAYER in Sage's PBeM post a short message here, stating their overall character (if possible)
Here's mine:
PDK's character: Rondell Rivenstone, male rock gnome, brd6/clr1.
Note to Sage: I will send you my new email, which changed since we last communicated. Please check your inbox shortly. Thanks.
Edit: I sent the message to your hotmail account. |

Actually, I'd like to expand this scope, if it's possible (since PDK beat me to the post... ).
Can I ask all players to please post their complete character stats in the Walking Through Mirrors - Character Stats scroll soon to be opened, here in the Adventuring section.

Its in the link from this post Sage ^
I just created a NWN character as close to Allison as I could then took a screenshot. I'm also working on a hand drawn version that will be more her but its going really slow |

Well, you must get a lot of good visual add-ons with later expansions to the game. All I have is the regular one, and I can't get anything remotely close to Jack. I'd never used a rapier with any of the characters I'd made before, so I didn't even know that the standard rapier looked like . . . that. I was expecting something with a swept hilt like Allison has in that picture.
I guess I'll have to go back to my half-baked plans for a drawing of my own . . . . |

Wood Elf, any chance you could whip me up a gnome bard/cleric with studded leather, whip and composite shortbow, with dark brown hair, goatie, eyes and cloak? Kinda looking like the image of Baravar Cloakshadow out of Faiths and Pantheons (like the gnome pic found on the main page on my character sheet)
Thanks a lot!
PS: don't worry if you can't do it or don't have time; this would be just bonus and I don't necessarily need it to play; just a nice-to-have, so don't sweat it if you don't want or can't do it! |

Yes bookwyrm there have been major updates to the way characters look in NWN since the first game came out. Especially recently with the release of a HUGE Community Expansion Pack thats downloadable online. Basically its all of the best and most widely used mods put together in one download. Very nifty especially tons of new weapons and modifications for weapons (you have to know how to use the editor though).
I don't have time right now PDK but when I get home this afternoon I will see what I can do And if you would like Bookwyrm I can try to create Jack for you as well.  |

PDK: Check your e-mail!
Bookwyrm: What color scheme would you like for Jack? Does he wear a robe? A hat? Any facial hair? I've got a pretty cool rapier I think will work just tell me those other things so I don't have to go digging through Jack's scroll to find his description |

-From Kelly's Predicament
He was very tall, with short, dark, wavy brown hair under a fedora and green eyes. Kelly noted that he walked with a strange sort of precision, every step placed carefully by habit apparently. He was thin but not overly so and looked somewhat tired. His clothing however was what truly grabbed her notice.
He had boots and a cloak of slightly different shades of gray from each other but his blue jeans and t-shirt were what caught her attention. “He brought his own body with him…” she thought incredulously as she stared intently frowning slightly in concentration. She noted a very nice rapier at his right hip and a black sheath was strapped to his right leg below a rather large dagger. |

I know -- that's a chaotic scroll. I never thought that Jack would be so popular, so I didn't lend any thought when I started to structuring the thread. If I had, then things would have been different. At the very least, I'd have kept all updates to the story in the opening post, editing in things as the story progressed.
I do have good news, though, and it has nothing to do with car insurance. Namely, I'm going to fix up my site to go public, at least as far as the section on Jack is concerned. It will have the story (both the completed first chapter and the unfinished second), Jack's character sheet, a sheet for his future familiar, and if I can get around to it, a page on the extras -- like the questions you guys asked, or my thoughts on how magic works on Jack's Earth. And, of course, any pictures you give me . . . so let's move to that.

Yes, this is Jack, but as he is before the campaign. After he gets to Waterdeep, he'll get less . . . conspicuous clothes. He has a set of period "gentleman's" clothes, of course. That's breeches and a loose shirt (the latter with plenty of give and flowing sleaves that are gathered in ties at the elbows and wrists). Add the fedora, and he looks pretty Musketeerish. Offhand, I don't think that'll be in any NWN pack.
The standard fare he'll have when out of the city will be a standard "explorers outfit" from the PHB. The extras to that will be his fedora (feel free to ignore that item) and his cloak (which has not yet been revealed in the story as a cloak of elvenkind . . . but that's it; he doesn't know it yet, that's all).
His rapier is very functional, but also very pretty. The latter was its real function -- even in an SCA tournament, where period is everything, you do not use real weapons. Jack's rapier was just along to look good. There are some pretty specific points about how it looks, but I'd be satisfied with a nice, shiny swept hilted rapier.
For his face and skin, he's very fair, has dark hair, and no stubble. Hopefully you have a face in there with no stubble and normal sort of hair . . . the standared NWN doesn't.
Thanks for trying. |

Could you someone please point me to the campaign's website? I seem to have forgotten to bookmark it the first time...
Also, any updates on the start date? I can't wait have our PCs interact and see the website Sage is setting up for the campaign...
Could we at least get the IC interactions going (i.e. the intro and how our PCs meet so we can start a virtual discussion in a tavern, here on these boards? that would speed things up immensely and give us our roleplaying fix.) |

There's a good reason for that.
I'd been thinking of setting up a temporary site to let us do it, actually, at least until Sage gets things going. The only trouble is that I wouldn't know where to start, gamewise. I know where my character is, and Artalis', and Wood Elf's. Other than that, I don't know how the rest of us get together -- especially if two are coming from the planes themselves, as I recall. |

| Rondell Rivenstone is in Waterdeep by the time the adventure starts (and he had been there at least 2 tendays before the adventure began, so we can do a lot of interactions) |
