If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

invisible castle not sending me an activation email with jibbajibba or indeed jibbajibba2 either so the first name registered okay but I couldn't log in.

From BSJ's post might well be a standard randowm server issue so I will try a bunch of other options

I wasn't sure with my account if I just had my filtering set too high - in hotmail it didn't get anything, with yahoo I got it straightaway but the email did go straight to the "junk" folder. Anyway good luck!

Background
Duncan was born in Rockhome, and has only recently travelled to the Savage Coast. Still relatively young for a dwarf, his bookish inclinations were a disappointment to his sturdy, axe-wielding father Dougal, the veteran of a number of skirmishes against orcs from the Broken Lands. The younger of three children (he has one older brother and one older sister), he spent much time reading in the libraries of the city under the tutelage of the greybeards there. His time there also uncovered some mystical lore; he sometimes has uncanny visions of past events when handling objects, or hunches he cannot explain (at this point he has probably read of other stranger powers, but is yet to develop anything himself), and as someone who has learned a few other tongues he was oft called upon to speak to travellers.
 
A number of merchants visiting Rockhome occasionally brought strange objects to the elders for examination, some from distant lands. On one occasion an ancient dagger, said to be made of red steel, was brought to them. Upon handling it, Duncan had a vision of an ancient battle among strange humans unlike any he'd seen previously, among strange architecture - which books did describe as being like ruins seen on the Savage Coast. The vision was clouded somehow but had a strange fascination on him, leading him to abandon his previous interest in the time of Blackmoor and study for a trip away, in hope of perhaps making his name discovering a lost civilization, unknown to modern scholars.

6.  The roll will appear in the log line.  To the left of the item in the log there is a dice icon.  Click on the dice icon to the left of the roll and a new pop-up window will appear with codes to link the roll in websites or forums.

Looks good! :)

The dwarven detection proficiencies are fine- it's good to be a dwarf! ;)

It looks like you doubled up on Common in your languages.

Also, as a House Rule, everyone will receive maximum hit points for their hit dice.  Duncan is mighty at 7 HP!

Good catch on the languages. Sorry confused ... I'm not sure if everyone gets Common for free, or if I have to buy it ?

Well, normally you have to pay for Common, but in this game it will be free!   Go ahead and pick another language from the Known World. :)
