Even though I have the 5E version, the game has an old school approach ...so I would prefer to keep classes and races to those that have a similar feel (i.e. no dragonborn warlocks and the like).
Similarly, it's expected that you'll hire henchmen and torchbearers and the like ...and don't get too attached to your characters.
Furthermore, Barrowmaze (as I'm running it) will be a drop-in / drop-out style game - with each session representing one excursion into the BarrowMoor/BarrowMaze (though you could of course spend the entire session in town if you like ...but to facilitate the drop-in / drop-out approach, it will always be assumed that any survivors that have ventured out to into the BarrorMoor head back into town at the end of the session - rather than spending the night in the moor/maze).
So, always having a character (or two) ready to go will be a good idea (to save time at the table) ...as I'll only be running this game when the need arises (i.e. to fill in when other folks can't make it) - so making sure we can jump right in on any given week will be a bonus.

Stats are rolled in the normal fashion (4d6 drop the lowest) - which can be done here on the forum by clicking the dice icon on the end of the all the formatting buttons up above.
So, hitting the button and typing in '4d6' results in this:
wxqID5ft4d6
...and you can do it multiple times - like so:
4d6
4d6
4d6
4d6
4d6
4d6·4d6·4d6·4d6·4d6·4d6

So, in this instance I'd have: 9 16 10 12 7 15 (and just so you know, as the admin I can see if you roll, delete/edit the post if you get bad scores, and roll again )

It looks as though I'll be running at least one more BM game before the next campaign starts (assuming folks want me to), so - those of you that used a pre-gen can continue to use them -OR- roll up a new character of your own if you prefer.

if we rolled our own would they still get the same XP?
