Welcome to Gaia! ::

I am going to create an adventuring party for those who are interested. I'm a new DM and a new player as a whole so if this puts you off your rocker feel free to pass the chance. For those who are willing to bear with me through this I'm looking for 3-4 1st level core rule characters. I'd rather not deal with multi-classing, monster races, large groups, or prestige classes for my first game but as I get more more adjusted to D&D I will allow them.
The first few adventures will be simple dungeon crawls but again as I get better I'll start doing longer campaigns incorporating bigger setting. Just post your character or that your interested and I'll tell you if I spy anything wrong. Thanks and hope you enjoy.

Very cool character. I look forward to DMing with you and considering you gave me my DM guide I have you to thank for having this opportunity.

Well, I'm a pretty experienced player and DM, so I'll throw down.

I would like to have a little background information on the campaign before I make my character though, if only for the pudding.

Well, here's my character. Definetely interested.

What's he going to play as. Since we have a bard and a ranger, we technically need a caster and a "healer" (though, really, we don't need no stinkin' healer).

Also, what race, if I may ask, is he planning on being?

Man, these forums have been moving much more slowly than they used to. If I made a cleric or other spellcaster, is it possible for us to get started soon?

well here is mine since I don;t really want to take the time to write all the stats
