Subject: final reminder for detailed character information
Hi everyone,
Detailed character information is due this coming Monday, August 8th. This includes:
- Character questionnaire (linked from System page)
- Character backstory
- Full character name
- Public character description (spoiler-free – whatever you are comfortable with people knowing out of game)
All of this information must be posted online.
You do not need to have merits & flaws or class levels figured out yet. Essentially, what I want by August 8th is character background, not stuff specific to the d20 gaming system.
The following is a summary of the status of all players as of this writing:
- Alex, Allen, Ozzyie, Nate, Joey: You are awesome and have already finished everything! All you have to do now is show up to the game. =)
- Paul, AJ, Lucas: You have met the requirements for August 8th. You just need to meet with me at some point before September 1st to do your character sheet.
- Mark, Athena: You are also awesome, since you have finished your character sheet. However, you still need to post a public character description.
- Griffin: All you need for August 8th is a public character description of some sort.
- Eva: You are close–you just need to fill out the questionnaire by August 8th.
- Andy: The only things you still need are a character name and a public character description.
- Megan: Your origin writeup is keen, but I’d appreciate a detailed backstory discussing your activities during the intervening years from then till now. Also, you need to fill out the questionnaire.
- James, John, Danielle, Jon: You need to post a detailed backstory and fill out the questionnaire by August 8th, as well as provide a public character description.
- Jason: I am hoping you will have time to work up a character before September 1st. If not, it will be possible for you to join a little later on.
- Aaron & Fae: Aaron didn’t meet the August 1st deadline. I haven’t actually spoken to either of you. James has vouched that you do want to be in the game, but if that’s true I would like to hear it from you both personally. Aaron, if you email or call me (438-6059) with your character concept I’m still willing to let you play since you were notified about these deadlines so late. No matter what, I would like to hear from one or both of you ASAP to confirm your interest in the campaign.
It is unfortunate that I have to enforce these deadlines but I have learned from previous campaigns that if I do not, there will be people who never put forth the effort. This way, I find out who doesn’t care enough to design a robust character. If you are one of those people, it’s probably better you’re not in the game anyway.
