Ok, here is our wiki:

http://ravenshollow.pbwiki.com/

You will need a general pbwiki logon. (It's free). This will be a major piece of the campaign, where I'll put maps and stuff, and it's a good place to put character sheets, the loot report, and other stuff. A bit less sequential than this forum.

I am currently compiling the gamelog, which will get posted back over here as soon as I'm done!

Rules Q:

Do we play with 5% per level for the fighter types, or 10% per 2 levels?
If I interpreted correctly, the 10% per two levels is "just" an artifact of table-space-concerns?

EDIT: I´m now signed on to PbWiki, but I can´t edit anything.

The Wiki looks nice - except that I'm having the same problem as Sett - I can't edit anything.

I'd love to have a place where Norcon (AKA Necron :haw: ) can put his diary - just so, ya know - the truth is known.

I'll figure out how to add you guys to the wiki. I apologize for that.

What do you mean 5%.. oh wait.. are we talking about the combat tables? Because if that is your question, than yes we can do that.

Ok, please PM me with your email address! That way I can add you to the wiki. I will try to add those of you whom I know of.

Edot: Still need DeadUematsu's email address for the wiki, but I have everyone else.

Do we want to do a mid-week mini-session or something? Here's the parameter:

I can do any day of the week starting at around 5PM EST, or anytime therafter. That might negate Settembrini, who is 5 hours different. I think it might be fun to do a casual 2-hour catch-up on mid week somewhere, but I'm not pushing the issue.

I'd love to....but can't.  I'm already getting the evil eye about Sundays. "It's just that it's right in the middle of the one day of the weekend not full of kids games!"

Fair enough. By the way, did you your XP? You may have levelled already...
