Those that have expressed interest in joining, I know it's been a while without an update on the possibility of that so apologies. With most of the group getting into Day 5 (chronologically day 12, but we started our counter on the day they "awakened" and their bodies were mature enough to start being independent) I have been working on a modified character sheet and stuff. Within the coming weeks, I'll be posting that and include a notification to all the people who either didn't get to join before we closed, or expressed interest recently.

At the moment, the plan is going to be having the new players start in a different area of the same general region. Unless there's a big issue with it, newbies will be starting in the "Deep Forest" some distance north of the original Cave. You'll have your own Boss to deal with and several other...obstacles. ;)

The only other option besides that to make sense at this point in the story, and also keep you guys from being worlds apart with the other players, would be if you were to start inside the Dungeon itself as an Undead, under the control of the Dungeon Core. Your story at that point would become one of somehow breaking free of the Core's control before you could explore the outside world. However, that option is very limited and leaves you with pretty much only zombies, ghosts, and skeletons of various creatures to work with.
