Just to add a couple of things...
A good reference to D&D can be found
here.
People who are interested in joining should look at the Classes -> Base Classes and choose one they are interested in. Then we'll help you flesh the character out
. Fighter is probably one of the simplest classes to begin with.

I believe this refers to the rolling of statistics rather than just choosing a class, so it isn't neccesary for people to own the actual handbook.
We'll try to make this accessible to new people, so anyone should feel free to join in. Having played something like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale or Neverwinter Nights would help people new to this kind of thing as it gives a basis to classes and statistics, that kind of thing.
As for the rolling of the dies, we will mainly use the d20 or whatever die applies to your weapons (e.g. d4, d6, d8). A bonus will be applied based on your skill, but we'll help people to calculate this. A good online die rolling program can be found
here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for my character, I'm considering a paladin especially for the horse bonuses
Unless of course, this campaign is going to be very dungeon-based opposed to travelling through wilderness areas.
