OK, so here's the deal. I was told by Mechtaur a while ago that he may have to cancel DMing because of IRL issues, and since I haven't heard anything from him regarding the game since then, I'm going to wait one more week until the 28th. If there are no further instructions by then, I will assume control.
If this should happen, I already have some idea of what I want to do, and will be setting the campaign in Pathfinder's default world of Golarion.
EDIT: It would also be helpful if Madman, Cerim Treascair, Zygarde, Ironbite, and Askold would complete their character sheets by then so we could proceed straight to the campaign. As I would not be taking over mid-campaign, I would not need anyone to run my character.
