I am happy playing with my plucky, unlucky, and virtually useless "Leader" character that is Alastair Higgins, the Halfling Warlord.
I could be convinced to create another character without issue if we all sort of want a fresh start for our new Perpetual D&D Campaign.
As far as I know, we are starting to play at noon until 5pm.
I think we should make characters in advance, and that could mean I go to Enrons early and the two of us roll em up then, or we do it from our respective homes, I think making characters takes too much precious time of our 5 hours slot.
Drunken anything afterword sounds good to me, as well as marathon combat commander.
