Baldur's Gate 2 - 2012 Campaign, Here be nerds... Options

[Silky]

Well it's been mentioned in a few different places (mostly by me) so I figured it made sense to give this thing it's own thread.
Anyone interested in joining what will hopefully be a weekly co op game of the story from Baldur's Gate 2 (D&D) should let us know here.
The game is an oldie but a great one, and I've always wanted to play a game with six real people, even though the characters in the original are amazing.
If Ade would be so good as to provide a link to where he downloaded it, so that those who don't already own this decade old game can get there hands on it, that would be great.
Also, if anyone has a specific day that is best for them, let me know.

What you will need.
A copy of the game. (link hopefully provided by Ade)
Skype and a mic (for communications)
A computer


Well that's all I can think off for now, anyone other than Kai and Ade want in?

oh and dibs on the rouge

So, for those of us who have signed up (and in an attempt to draw in a few more people hopefully).
What class/race are you planning on playing?
A balanced party is key.
I've tended towards fighters before, but I'm keen to try playing as a rogue, given that now I can focus on controlling my own character, rather than a whole party.

I quite fancied the 'Rogue' class too, given my tendency to opt for the Fighter class during my D&D days. I rather like the idea of playing as a half-elven bard. Kind of like the minstrel at the end of Blackadder II, only with pointier ears. And a Swiss Army Lute.

I always enjoyed the Thieves' Guild plotlines in Raymond Feist's books, and some sneak thief RPG skullduggery has long since appealed too.


I shall ruminate on the 'class' a tad longer, but I'm fairly settled on half-elf. I'm all but decided on a character name, too: Alfie Helferleather, the Half-Elf Filthy Pilferer.

Too much?

Oh, okay.

Sounds perfick Ade.
I'd tend more towards the "sneaky sneaky, stabby stabby, looty looty" style of rogue.
I'm tempted to call my character Sir Schmoopy of Awesometown in a reference that no one will get. Maybe not.
