You don't have to apologize. If anything, I'm sorry for not being on AIM more often to assist (I'm logged in as dysprosiuum right now and will continue to be for the next few hrs if you have time to talk). As soon as your character sheet is completed you can join the game. New players who join will start with the same amount of XP that the other players have: the only thing you might miss out on is a little bit of loot.<br/><br/>Would you prefer I wait another day or two (possibly while walking you through charcreatin via AIM)? I could do that if you'd prefer, but I was thinking that you might benefit from seeing how things will work in the opening scene.
