I've not gathered up the players yet - only just made the information available to the local community that in November, the rpg youth club will be starting. I will let them be whoever they want within a certain framwerk. if someone wants to be a knight, why yes, A Squire is a good start. of course ...

Here we are Kjetil, the character sheet printer friendly : http://we.tl/lZjoJteFaa I have worked on it some time ago but took the time to put it online as requested.
