ayslyn: Yup, got it! Yup, approved it! Yup, you'll change your display name to be your character name once your character gets all submitted and approved.

Hey Tim is there a quickstart rules or a "here is how to make a guy" PDF? I'd love to play but I don't have the book yet.

Not for 20th Anniversary Edition (V20) yet. But I posted a character creation overview thread which covers the basics, and I can totally help you make a character. It's probably one of the easiest character creation systems I know of.

ok! what day or time works for you? I like making guys with help, not only does it make sure the character is appropriate, it also helps me figure out the proper tone and things.

Forresst - Check out this link - there's a lot of character gen stuff there. There's a lot of jargon, but you can cover much of that with google.

I had to log in under a different handle Dexter Thomas and then I need to create the character. Should I use sbloyds link?

I had to log in under a different handle I thought you had an account already, DT? What happened? Should I use sbloyds link? You can; I added a similar page on the forum which has available clans and disallowed merits and backgrounds and whatnot: labyfire.boards.net/thread/84/character-creation-overview(Like, for instance, we've had a bit of a run on Nosferatu [one approved and in the game, one submitted this morning but not approved, and one for whom I'm just waiting on the sheet] so I'm not accepting any more Nosferatu at the moment.) But either one works fine as long as your character isn't a Nos and doesn't have any disallowed merits or backgrounds.

Hey, sorry Forresst, but I missed this post. Go ahead and get registered and signed in, and we can go back and forth with character creation on the forums, using PMs and such. I'm doing that with another player as well.

I'm very tempted (just made an account). Sounds like a good way to ease back into playing (haven't played in 18 years, always a GM).
Peculiar thing just happened; after being entire worlds of people, how on earth do players pick a single character to be? Holy crap, that's a tough-ass choice.

Much as I hate to say it, due to real world issues, I won't have a character ready. Hopefully I'll get to make one soon and join you guys later, if that's okay?

Yeah, sure, you'll miss the "official" start - which includes an oh-so-exciting court scene - but the game will always be open for new players.

So... I spent a couple of days sick this week, which means the "official start date" of the game will be today-ish, probably tomorrow (instead of actually today). So if you're looking to get a character in for the start of the game, you still have a couple of hours!

I think I'm close to having a character...
