Hi Gaz,

First off, welcome to Living Forgotten Realms thread.  Once every other week, I will organize a game or two on a Saturday at the store.  The adventures I run are part of the living campaign in the world of Forgotten Realms, and each adventure takes roughly between 3-4 hours of playing time.

All of your PC(s) start at level 1, and by playing each adventure, you gain XP, GP, and access to magical items that you can get for free.  I would read up on the Living Forgotten Realms campaign thread on Wizards.com for more details and info.

At the moment, the next game that I am tentatively scheduling is for Saturday, Dec. 27.  Usually by the beginning of each game week, I will post a muster list on this thread, and people will reply that they are going to play, and what PC that they will be using.

As for playing a Gnoll, I'm not sure if they're legal in LFR yet, but you can probably find out at the Wizards site.  I recommend looking there first.  All PC's can not be of an Evil alignment either.  Sorry, but that's just how the rules for LFR go.  And as sad as this sounds, backstories aren't necessary for this kind of play.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

All I could find in terms of gnolls, was this; http://www.wizards.com/files/367_Playing_Gnolls.pdf

Just 4th edition rules, doesn't say anything about LFR, but it's no big deal. If not, I'll just be a dragonborn. :)

At any rate, I'm really looking forward to it.

The RPGA rules for creating characters is here (RPGA Character Creation Guide v1.7):
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/news/20081023

Short story - So long as you have the full version of Dungeon Magazine, you can use the information provided inside it.  The individual articles are not valid as they may be changed by the time the magazine is "printed".

Well, that particular issue of Dragon Magazine is available for download, so I guess it's legit...

Y'know, if this all too complicated and you'd rather me just roll a regular race, that's perfectly fine with me. I don't want to start off on the wrong foot and have you all think I'm needlessly... particular, or variant, or something. :P

At any rate, you can put me down for either; gnoll fighter, or dragonborn paladin, if that slot/role is available.

Also, should I fill out a Character Record Sheet at home, and bring it to the store, or should I fill it out there, when I start?

Just a recommendation, but we tend to be pretty heavy on the defender roles, so a leader, controller or striker would probably be the BEST thing for the group.  Between the two choices you gave, a paladin would work better (IMHO) if you focused on the healing aspect of the class. 

As an FYI, I play a warlock and I fully intend to use the Dragon Magazine spells and feats from one of their other magazines.

You can fill out a Character Record Sheet when you start. 

Now, as for our game, I need to ask the group if they'd be available on Sunday, the 28th, instead of the 27th.

I have some family plans that weekend in NJ, which is why Saturday is no good for me this week.  Please let me know if Sunday's good for everyone.
