I was just wondering, why not use the Hyborian (Conan) map. Just the map, not necessarily the campaign. It's beautifully made, suits the campaign world described so far (frozen north, swampy jungle south), and has a nice Earthy feel to it. I found a beautiful one online but I don't know how to attach it

...I think, from the getgo, with regards to the wiki, if we could get a "wish list" as it were, progress can continue on the page unimpeded, as we can just refer to the wish list page to add something to the wiki. Something where Ironhead could say "I'd love if someone could, oh, I don't know, format a page in X style where we can put all the information on the Xanadu Keep that you guys totally destroyed last week", or Yoshara could say "Hey, I'm a bit busy this week, so could someone take over X graphic arts project"? Or maybe gaaran says "Hey, I'm working on a page that totally would look sweet with an image of a dragon eating a wagon wheel that's sprinkling crumbs like a donut," and someone can find, or make one. It's something I tried to do with my own page, but I lack design inspiration at the best of times. But I have the coding theory to whip together a few pages with snazz, depending on if I've got the proper direction! :) I can't wait to start working with you guys on making this campaign epic!
Which day of the week and what time are we going to play?
I live in time zone EST+7. So if possible, I'd like an EST afternoon game, say 2PM (EST) which will be 9PM my time (after my little critters are in bed). I can make any day of the week other than Friday.
Now, can someone help me. How do I get columns to align on my character sheet?
I'd love to be able to do an EST 2PM game, but during the week it'd be impossible for me (Minus Sat/Sun).
Sat/Sun 2PM (EST) is perfect for me.

1) What race and class are you hoping to play? What style of that class are you imagining for this character? What is his or her name?
Human Bard, Lark
2) Please give a description of your character, including physical and personality traits you see as important.
Female, dwelling on the extremely short side for humans, standing at 4'10" tall, Stubborn and nearly incapable of listening to direct orders given to her by authority figures.. She likes causing mischief when mischief can be made.. though more often than not it falls short of being mischief and is really just annoying.. loves to sing and not very well...
3) Give a bit of your character's history; i.e- age, relationships up to this point, occupation, apprenticeships, enemies, etc.
One of the lucky few orphaned children to find a place to go, She was taken in my an old man who ran the general store in her hometown. He taught her different songs to help pass the time as he worked her hard to earn her keep. He died when she was 13. She's currently 19 years of age, with plenty of people who dislike her due to her personality... After the old man died she ended up out on the streets again having to beg for food and shelter.. eventually she began to travel with a carnival, taking on the role of introducing the many different acts that were displayed. She also sang and danced for money though sadly she never made near as much as she did for her comedy acts..
4) What are your character's goals? What drives him or her?
She wants to be famous.. and she doesn't care how she achieves it. Though her dream is to sing for the important people in the world, kings, queens whatever royal courts that would have her. However the problem with her dream is she isn't very good at either of those things.
I have quite a few to be honest though my favorite is Harry Potter... The world is intriguing and well the possibilities of what could be done with it were amazing.. I admit I'm entirely thrilled with every last detail of the series but I grew to love the series quite a bit. I think it was because it combined magic creatures, magic, castles, epic power struggles and interesting characters.
6) Favorite fictional character in fantasy? All genres? Please describe why.
Severus Snape... I know probably not a normal choice but the reasons I enjoyed his characterization evolved over time.. I mean yes at first he was quite mean and pretty cruel but none the less he was still a good person when it came to morality. He never once swayed from his role of spy and worked hard to ensure that dumbledore got his way. He even went so far as to murder the one person who showed him mercy, simply because it was asked of him. his character is tragic and intriguing. Combine that with his obvious intelligence and his dry humor it makes him a favorite of mine. I've read so many books so narrowing down my favorite character of all time is a pretty harrowing task... though I think if I had to absolutely choose it'd probably be Nancy Drew... she was smart, witty and always up for adventure.
7) Favorite figures from history? Why? William Shakespeare.. He wrote epic plays and knew how to twist words and make things exciting to watch. Hatshepsut, one of the few female pharaohs and the only one that I know of that was depicted as such in the artwork and statues made of her. She led an army to war even though at the time it probably wasn't the height of blasphemy, but she did it anyways. Lousa May Alcott... the first woman to publish a book under her own name, not fearing the ridicule that would most likely follow...
8) Prefered atmosphere for your campaign? Dark, epic, mysterious, light? I don't really have a preferred atmosphere.. though I tend to want to play things that a bit more involved... campaigns that require some effort and thought on the players part... so mysterious but still sort of light?
I didn't realize he died in '03
