Hello Mltillis,
I have few questions regarding the game that might be of ineterest to other players in the forum:
1. How many posts do you expect players to submit a week?
2. Is knowing the 2nd Ed. rules enough to participate as a player in the game?
3. Is it possible to play without knowing the Forgotten Realms background?

Thanks,
BishGada

1. I would like to usually see a post made within 24 hours of an oppurtunity. Likewise, my goal will be to respond within the same time frame. I try to be practical. Between different time zones and work schedules, 24 hours seems a good time frame. Weekend posting is appreciated but not expected.

2. Most 2nd Ed players can pick up 3.5 rather quickly. I'll assist with source material and character creation as much as possible if desired. For a quick look try these links. http://www.d20srd.org/ http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/srd35

3. That will make it more interesting in my opinion. You may want to look over the Dieties though. My campaign pulls in some rather obscure parts of the setting, so prior knowledge may help but is not essential.

Here is a link for a 3.5 Forgotten Realms character generator.

The setting is around 1372 DR prior to the Death of Mystara and the Spellplague.

I should have mentioned that the gaming forums is just part of a larger site. Also if you have your character stored at another site, just send me the link. You don't have to do everything here.
