No worry muse,youre a late addition, you may start when ready campaign is already started and slowly moving around.<br/><br/>I'm still feeling out the characters and players, to get a clue on who might work well with who, so no rush just yet.<br/><br/>You may play a wizard if you wish, its not a banned class (summoner is the only one i have a universal dislike for and maybe the one that needs to be on a horse to do anything useful from the apg.)<br/><br/>You should be aware that it's going to be a small party campaign and 'average' party size might be two characters together, with the possibility of being assigned a task to work alone.  So characters should be as self sufficient as possible.  A character that relies on a party setting with a tank to hide behind and a healer to help with after fight damage might feel limited in the scope of this campaign where those things wont always be available.<br/><br/>Characters do not know each other to start, at least so far.  They're coming from all over the place to gather and join the order, so for the most part the only common thread for them is for what ever reason, they're fated to become a Rose of the Order, and there, they find their common bond and start their history working together.<br/><br/>I've got a vague floating timeline, where characters are roughly moving along in the same time frame as other characters but you wont know for sure till you actually meet that you're on the same time line.  (so i might have the queen doing interviews with two or three characters at once, there  arent three queens, they're just happening at different times.)<br/><br/>I also use 'real time' when i play.  You dont always spend all your time on adventures/missions.  You have down time to enjoy life, pursue craft and training, and what not.  So as time passes in the flesh and blood world, it'll pass in the campaign.  So the 'seasons' will adjust between each mission, and how much time passes between missions depends on how long it took to finish the mission.<br/><br/>Abigail, should be familiar with what i'm talking about, as for the rest of you, if you dont get it, dont worry, after a mission or two, it'll make great sense.
