If you just give me access to whatever you've got up and running with the Compendium, Shien, that'll be fine for the time being. And I can definitely relate to your reason for not posting here before now; the constant unavailability of the RPGuild has been keeping me away for the past... several weeks by now, I think, too. My patience is certainly starting to run out by now, and if Mahz doesn't find a solution to the problem - or finds someone that can do so for him - it won't be a matter of subjectivity anymore; the current state of the RPGuild is going to kill the RP.

@Veridis Quo: The "Story so far" is a [I]little[/I] outdated, actually, but not nearly as much as one would expect from something that hasn't been updated for that long. There are actually three groups of characters currently active within the RP: the group that was outside the gates of Zerul City, which has actually moved inside the city by now and has been brought together a little more intricately by an encounter in there; another group is by a secluded lake in Pelgaid, currently conversing with the demon lord known as the Grand Master and planning to head out in pursuit of Hazzergash, another demon lord; and lastly, one group will leave the borderhouse they have been staying at "very soon" and head to Zerul City as well, so they should arrive there "very soon" (the quotation marks are there because things [I]never[/I] go as I plan or envision them).
The races are actually mentioned in the Compendium, yes; they can be found in the section called "Races of Reniam". They aren't the Tolkien-races, no, though part of the inspiration behind their design undeniably came from that, but essentially they are mostly my original creations.
And see, choosing a role that the group is missing gives a bit more freedom when there are multiple groups, although the group in Zerul City is supposed to soon merge with the one heading there. The two merging groups do seem to have just about all roles covered, however, except perhaps a proper mage. The other group desperately needs just about any kind of brawny backup, though, as it consists of just two mages, neither of which has any kind of prowess in physical confrontation (or they will, as soon as they aren't accompanied by a two thousand-year-old dragon anymore). A ranger/hunter, as you call it, would fit into that massive gap in ability as well as any kind of fighter. As for elves, the RP doesn't have them, but the deigan race is probably the closest match to the popular depiction of them.
