A few weeks ago I got a chance to roll up a character.  As I usually GM, this is a treat, and as a fan of rolling dice it was wonderful bonus.  Of course this is the one week I forget my dice. so I had to use borrowed dice.  No matter, it was a minor thing. 

Remember the first time you got to roll a character?  Did you use 3d6 in order, 4d6, or some other combination?  It doesn't matter how you do it, there is just something magical about the sound of dice on a table.  The whole anticipation of letting the dice go to see what your first number would be, followed by the almost holding your breath worry that it will be followed by all single digits.  After all, if your first number was bad your GM would usually be nice and consider it a practice roll.  My first number was a 16, so I was off to a good start and when it was all said and done I had a respectable set of numbers and Katherine, Cleric of Baccob was begun.
