Yes, this is still running, We are always getting new members, and I would suggest reading through the OP. If nothing else I would read the characters, and other rules and whatever sections. Remember, you will be ret-conned into the game, so there is no character introduction; you just start.

We don't really have many melee characters, so a barbarian would help immensely. Right now we have level 2 as the starting level. I hope you can join.

Welcome, orcy brother! The front lines want you!

[Kogan Loloklam]

We are getting closer to balance when it comes to warriors.

[b_boy_212]

ok then I'll roll a lvl 2 half orc barbarian according to the op rules and report back here. I should warn however that this will be my first ever D&D game so you'll have to be patient.

*edit done
when is the next game?
and could I get the direct connect info for the server? (ip and port)

[Lord Shonus]

Welcome, orcy brother! The front lines want you!

[b_boy_212]

Front lines! Im not quite ready for that in my first game.

[The Fool]

The next game should be on Saturday. We normally start at around 11:00 pm GMT, which generally is in the late afternoon to evening if your in North or South  America.

As for the direct connection, you can just use the maptools server list to select the server mentioned in the OP.

Front lines! I'm not quite ready for that in my first game.

Sure you are! It's actually easier than being a squishy - it's harder to die, oddly enough.

Spoiler: Vaba's Journal (click to show/hide)

 This has been a eventful day.  Not long after we collected the research notes, Corina started to argue with several of our allies about bringing a tribe of goblins here.  While I see some advantages to ruling a city, the ship is crowded as is.  I would hate to bring 20 smelly goblins on board.
 While Corina was arguing, I decided to help Pheron pile up books.  I don't know why he was doing it, but I figured we could leave sooner if I helped.  Apparently, the argument escalated since Uskton Slek hit Corina in the face.  Pheron had to break them up.  Suddenly Van heard a noise from the west wing and we all snuck over to the door.  Except Mysteller.  Mysteller decided to bellow "WHO'S THERE!".
 So, anyways, we opened the door of a side room, figuring someone was behind it.  All we found was an old pentagram drawn in blood and some cages.  Perfectly normal.  We then checked door number two. Everyone piled in while Mysteller cast some spell and I hung back bringing up the rear.  Pheron slammed open the door and we got the first sight of our enemies: purple skinned humanoids, a wizard, fighter, barbarian and ranger, all of them wearing strange leaf-like armor.  The purple people were standing on another bloody pentagram at the bottom of a circular room with ellipse tiers.
Almost immediately, Corina cast an illusion spell that made a brick wall appear in front of us.  However, only their barbarian and Pheron with his deerish mind actually believed there was a wall in front of us.  As everyone else charged down the stairs like a horde of huffy, heavily-armed humanoids, I ran to the side so I could get a good shot.  While the others were distracted by the fighter and barbarian, I shot the wizard up, knocking him unconscious.
 After I downed the wizard, the fighter ran back to his body, leaving the barbarian to hold off my allies alone.  I shot the ranger (who had been paralyzed while I was distracted) in what should have been the heart.  However, the fighter pulled a rock out of the wizards pack and promptly smashed it into the center of the pentagram, causing... what can only be describe as a change.  The barbarian fell unconscious from hugging Pheron and Uskton Slek lopped off his head.  Then suddenly the fighter was engulfed in a pillar of flame and Mysteller had a still beating heart appear in her hand.
 After all this, Van and Pheron started arguing whether to kill the wizard or keep him as a prisoner.  We ended up with him as a prisoner, and I doubt Van will let anyone interrogate him.  Hopefully we will leave for Sandsedge now...

Also, woo-hoo I leveled up!  My sheet does not have the HP done since I'm not sure if I have to roll that in session or what.
Lastly, I take the +1 longbow.  I figure wielding two bows and three quivers would be pushing my luck so not the arrows.

Spoiler: Tallulah's letter to home (click to show/hide)

Dear aunt Laura, again certain of my party members have demonstrated their utter lack of brains. Corina came up with this truly idiotic plan to try to move the goblins to this ruined city, and then refused to see reason when several of us pointed out the sheer stupidity of the plan. She had the spirit to say that when she made her fortune she would not share any of it, for she is sure that she will again be a noble someday. Bluntly? Considering from what I have seen from her, I am not surprised that family fell to ruin, and I don't expect her to make it come back anytime soon. And as for not sharing her fortune... as part of this party, she better not steal from me. Other then that, I am sure that my gains from what I make from my loot shall be more then enough for me, and probably more then hers.

Also, ran into some pale people and killed them all. The wizard was nothing like you, and shared not your ability to make everything explode, thank god. Barbarian and fighter were annoying though, then the rest of the party again deminstrated their lack of brains by only leaving the wizard alive to question about what magical ritual they had completed there. Very annoying

Your loving niece, Tallulah.

So, tomorrow I probably won't be at the session, unless my parents suddenly decide to let me on the computer for fun for several hours while I have an English paper due Monday.

[Kogan Loloklam]

Sure you are! It's actually easier than being a squishy - it's harder to die, oddly enough.

I disagree.

Squishies die when they act foolish sure, but front Lines is usually susceptible to the nasty magics that the squishies have nice resistances to.

We got a nice balance of squishies and Warriors now though, so I don't see why he couldn't be whatever he wanted to be. Me, Van, and Uskton are all fighter types. Of course that includes a warrior, since we can always use one more to rush blindly through traps that we have no scouts to disable for us...

[Heron TSG]

Maybe I'm biased because I have the advantages of both.

[Shoruke]

I find that frontlining is actually a lot simpler than being a spellcaster, because there's less stuff to keep track of. Keeping track of how many shots of each spell you have left gets to be pretty time-consuming at higher levels. Arcane casters take forever to create/level up, because you have to read every available spell and guess which you'll need most, while divine casters can take forever to pick their spells every morning.

Game in 2 hours, 13 minutes. In theory.

[Theoboldi]

You know, I just looked at the age statistics and noticed something. Uskton is 20 years old.
Dwarfes reach adulthood at 40. 20 years for a dwarf is like 7 for a human.
It actually makes sense for him to have a teddy bear.
