Hey guys, I just got the 4e PHB and I've been reading over it, its all really cool. I have no idea what to compare it to seeing as I haven't ever actually played dungeons and dragons before, but a couple of my friends and i figured we'd give it a go. I was just wondering if there was anyone who would mind giving me a basic run through on how to create a character and how combat / skills / whatever works. The books helpful but I'm still pretty lost.

Slight problem I live in Australia. Late nights aren't a massive problem for me but if anyones time frame allows them for me not having to wait up until 4am that would be nice. Either that or if you guys know of a group like this one except for a more southern hemisphere/Oceanic audience that would also be nice and helpful.

Thanks in advance and sorry for being a noob

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is awesome.

Likely going to add 2 or 3 races. Seeq (pig-like humanoids), Gria (dragonmen), and (maybe) Rebe (a race similar to Zidane in FF9).

Please post if you can make it.

I can't make it. My Sunday plans are actually Saturday plans, thus meaning I won't be running a game this weekend. Sorry about that, guys. Either my father's speaking or my hearing is faulty.

Dunno if I can make this one, we usually have a followup to the July 4th on the next day. I may show up, but I can't say for sure right now.

It's ridiculous that we still have a hole in the ozone layer. We have men, we have rockets, we have Saran Wrap - FIX IT!! And don't come back until you do. ~ Lewis Black

Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911. And so, since nobody eats that stuff, every year there's a ton of it left over. And the candy corn company sends the guys out into the villages, to collect out of the dumpsters all the candy corn we've thrown away. They wash it! They wash it! I'll never forget the first time my mother gave me candy corn. She said, 'Here Lewis! This is corn that tastes like candy!' (takes it, eats it) ... 'This tastes like crap!' And every year since then, Halloween is returned and I, like an Alzheimer's patient, find myself in a room, and the room has a table in it, and on the table, is a bowl of candy corn. And I look at it, as if I've never seen it before. 'Candy corn,' I think. 'Corn that tastes like candy. I can't wait.' (takes it, takes a bite) 'SON OF A BITCH!' ~ Lewis Black... again...

*Milo blinks... then pokes Saber*
sorry... should have said the source of the Quote...

its from the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy Series... hence the name of the thread... Random Quotes.

*sighs* but if you want to go ahead and try to figure out the reasoning behind that book you are more then welcome to... but trust me... no such thing exists.
