Introductions/bios

Greetings,

It comes to my mind that we should avoid duplication of effort, especially
with as many admitted lazy people here (myself certainly included). So
before these introductions continue too far, why don't we adopt a standard
and write our bios for the site while we do it. I would say that between one
and three paragraphs, depending on your ego score, should be sufficient.
This will also aid the webmaster and the rest of us by showing us what Name
(online, given, SCA, etc) you wish us to use when referring to you. If you
want to have some fun with it, there is a great site at
http://www.co.jyu.fi/~np/rpg/abilities.html which will generate your d20
ability scores based on a questionnaire. I will probably include my own
(rather low for a scribe) with my own bio.

I will get mine together tomorrow after our game.

As we say in the restaurant business, it's all about the 7 Ps- Proper Prior
Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Every little bit saves us effort
later on for being creative.
BTW, who will be our "Webjammer" for this? I would like to assist with
figuring layout and navigation for this one as well.
Gotta run,
