I just showed up from brilliantgameologists and found the forum empty, so I supposes this is my attempt to get the ball rolling on what appears to be a brand new site! Howdy.
Well, I played with Bill before in a few games. I am very excited to get playing again. Now, I say this in the most humble way possible, but Bill is the best DM ever. >.>
O yea, welcome to the forum and new game!

Hey WHAT'S UP Kajera!
Nice to meet you Acidic.
Gribel, what's your name on bg's? I dont' reconize the tag but good to have ya.
I don't hink I"ll be able to participate in this game due to it being 5p.m. Pacific during the week. I hope we get some others dm'ing (all respect to bill of course.)
Aside from that, what do you guys use for voice chat? Skype or that other thing, I'll have to go through and set those up. Any opinions you'd like to share?
Skype is just there because it's free. I plan on renting a Teamspeak server. Teamspeak is nice because you can configure a button to talk, so you can do other things without having to constantly press the mic button on and off to talk.
Do you live on the east coast? I might be able to start a little earlier, but yes I do apologize, things were slightly more convenient when I lived in Central :)
I probably should have hit forum first. My character should be viewable now. I can give you a quick rundown of the feats. Nymph's kiss is BoED, Font of inspiration is online and gives progressively more Inspiration points each time it's taken. It can only be taken up to int mod times, I'm looking at 5 times over the course of the character or 6 depending on how insane it gets. I'd also like to pick up a str boosting item so I can get Pathfinder Power Attack around level 11. Faerie mysteries intiate can do many things, but I only care about the INT mod replacing CON for HPs. Many consider this overpowered….for a wizard. They neglect to point out that a martial Factotum really uses it well. Keen intellect from Dragon Magazine's Oriental Adventures update basically replaces wisdom and intelligence for anything but ability damage and strait wisdom checks.
Anywho I just barely qualified for pathetic flaw. I had +7 net to stats before the +2 to INT from human. Shakey is their to remind me that ranged is a last resort.
Now I just have to get Skype and hook up my microphone.
Hey there! I also came from BGs, though I don't post nearly so often. I'm looking forward to finishing up my character and totally rocking out :D
Regarding VOIP: I'd recommend also looking into Mumble (mumble.com) as another option. It's free and has much better sound quality, latency, and so on. You just have to provide server space.
A witty saying proves nothing. —Voltaire
Server space is the key, I'll likely shell out some cash later, but I haven't had the opportunity to yet, :)
I'm just looking at the relic house rules and noticed that able learner is given to a Factotum for free. I suspect this was because Factotums are feat starved and kind of have it as a built in class feature. Unfortunately, with the pathfinder rules in effect and Able learner available as a feat, this serves to weaken a Factotum who doesn't wish to exploit the Chameleon PRC (like me). I'm thinking I'd rather just have an extra font of inspiration instead of able learner. Giving Able learner kind of steers all builds toward Chameleon after all.
