Under the Microscope - Part 1

Alexis at The Tao of D&D posted a series of questions about a campiagn. I'm going to answer them from the point of view of a player in the play by post campaign I'm in.

1. How long has this present campaign been in existence?

It hasn't started yet.

2. How many players do you have, and how many right now were present at the beginning of the campaign?

As far as I know there will be six, not counting the DM.

3. How many of your players are family members?

None that I know of.

4. How many of your present players began playing after the halfway point in the existence of your campaign? How many in the last year (if that applies)?
