Goot, you can read The Manse Macabre or Dark Company play by post threads to get a rough idea how it works. Some general tips are:
1) Click the "dice" button and type 2d6, 4d6, etc to roll the dice. Always use d6.
2) The dice code doesn't work when you "preview" your post, so just post to see the results, then edit to add the rest of your move. When editing, don't mess with the dice html: it's normal for it to look different when you go back in to edit.
3) Generally if you attack a monster, you also roll for its defense to save time. Zargon does the same for the heroes.

EDIT: Check Jason's post at the bottom of page one, too, in case you missed it.

Just about, as long as you don't put up something crazy OP then you probably will be approved.

Ok, check my Knight.
knight2.jpg


example:
A :chaoswarrior: attacks a full equipped Knight and rolls :skull: :skull: :blackshield: :blackshield:
Knight defends and rolls :whiteshield: :whiteshield: :whiteshield: :whiteshield: :skull: :skull: which means that he defended succesfully and rolled 2 shields in excess.
Now :chaoswarrior: must immediately defend those 2 shields and rolls :blackshield: :skull: :skull: :skull: . He loses 1 B.p.

Looks good. Barbarian replacement?
And as I am planning on running a full quest pack we can see if he becomes OP with a pile of armor. :D

Side note: you made an N/A character card and then used the non-N/A spelling of armor (armour).

Is armor just a US thing?

As long as we're nitpicking each other's rhetoric, N/A means "Not Applicable," whereas NA is for North America. |_P

I like that Knight a lot actually.

I don't know how to word it, nor do I know if it would fit on the character sheet (it's rather full right now,. but I think that a rule that the knight cannot return more damage than his weapon could naturally do might be a good idea.

Example night with a broadsword gets attacked by a chaos warrior

Chaos Warrior roll: :skull: :whiteshield: :whiteshield: :blackshield:
Knight roll: :whiteshield: :whiteshield: :whiteshield: :whiteshield: :whiteshield: :whiteshield:
Chaos Warrior Defense :skull: :whiteshield: :blackshield: :blackshield:
Net result: Chaos Warrior takes 1 damage, because even though the knight got 5 white shields extra his broad sword can only do 3 damage.

Or am I making this too complicated for situations that are going to come up only once every 15-20 quests?
