Hey all, so the game is going to start in a few weeks (Sunday, July 6th), so I figured I'd start up a blog for us to keep track of everything, meta- or otherwise.
I'm planning on starting around noon on the day, and it will consist of character generation, a rundown of the 4E crunch, the choosing of your wee mini, then a quick roundtable intro of PCs and starter encounter... if we have time, we'll get into the game proper. Since it's a worknight for some of us, the game will end around 8pm, so come on time to avoid holding the game back for the rest of the adventurers. I'm guessing we'll be pitching in for some delivery and snacks/drinks, but that's stuff we can work out later.
I'm leaving out some first-time players who expressed interest in order to keep the group size manageable and quickly moving... most are familiar with general concepts and have played D&D before in various iterations... so once we go through what's changed in 4E, I'm guessing play will be fairly smooth (i.e. no one asking what a d4 looks like).
We have six players, the most I think I can handle without it descending into bedlam and chaos:
Kevin - friend from work, PLP, coming up from Burlington, gaming guru
Peter - friend from the internet rave, Nintendo fanboy, plays WoW way too much
Brandur - met through Peter, DMming a homebrew 4E game I'm in, 'nother WoW player
John - met through Peter, in Brandur's homebrew and building his own, likes magicky characters
Craig - TR.commer, former industrial goth turned into geeky glasses-wearing IBM drone
Jesse - TR.commer, film geek, bearded and short... likes playing Dwarves, go figure
So comment this post with your email address and I'll add you to be an author and once everyone responds I'll lock out the commenting to outsiders... and then we'll move ahead with some starting fluff and I'll upload some basic 4E concepts for those who want a headstart on mechanics (don't worry though - the game seems very streamlined and easy)...
Now watch this if you haven't seen it yet (or watch it for the billionth time):

Damned right Im playing a Dwarf!
Hey hey hey hold on a second!
I don't see any girls names on that list. It's an unwritten rule that every gaming group needs at least ONE girl so as we won't qualify as a bunch of lame geeks sitting in a basement

No monks in 4E (yet).
Since the system is heavily weighted towards the PC's in terms of survivability, I'm not going to feel bad when I actively try to kill you off.
:D Jokes, I'm impartial.... seriously though, no monks. I'll upload a quick rundown of available race/classes ONCE JOHN GETS OFF HIS ASS TO LEAVE HIS EMAIL!!
Oh yeah, and check your email, Craig, and follow the link to become an author on the blog. YOU TOO JESSE AND JOHN!
Fuck, it's like trying to herd kittens, getting you guys to follow simple instructions.
