Hey there buddy. For your benefit and the benefit of the others, I am going to write up a summary of the campaign.
Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, we'll be playing next Saturday evening, we usually start at 6:00 and go till midnight-ish, but let me know the times that are good for you.
You'll need to roll your character. The rest of the group has been using a character creation tool that Wizards puts out, it works quite well from what I've seen. Since we're not using notebooks it comes in handy. One of the others can tell you how to use it.
