Character Creation:
If you know how to play D&D already, then all you need to know is that we're using the standard 4d6 for ability scores, and all 3.5 material (but if I don't have the book, you'll have to send me a summery). If you need to know anything else, just ask.
If you haven't played D&D before, you'll want to read some of
this first. All the other rules you will need to play can be found
here. There are a lot, but don't worry, you won't need them all! Then make a post, and use the dice option on Gaia to roll a total of twenty-four six sided dice, in groups of four dice. You can do this in two ways, either by making six posts with four dice each, or two posts, one with twenty, the other with four (twenty is the max number of dice Gaia lets you roll at once, I think), and separating the dice from that into blocks of four.
From each block of four dice, drop the lowest die. Add the remaining three die together. When you have done this for all six groups of four, then arrange the results as you desire for your six ability scores: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
Once you've done that, you'll need to choose your race and class. There are a number of choices, so you may want to ask for advice. We'll cover that when we get to it, I don't want to overwelm you now.
