I've got a few ideas floating around and have had some time freed up unexpectedly so I have decided to run a high level game. I have yet to decide on character creation for the most part, the only thing set in stone is this will be Gestalt somewhere between levels 10-20. I am currently trying to acquire a list of interested players, I have three options based on the number of players interested:
1) Ascent of the Gods: I feel my campaign world needs some more Greater Dieties so I'll run the campaign that got the current ones in their positions. (Updated from 2nd ed of course)
2) The Stuff Legends are Made Of/ Eaters of the Dead: Have you seen "The 13th Warrior" or read the book? Then you have a pretty good idea of what this will be. I'll change it up a bit of course.
3) Clash of the Titans: Two opposing groups of PCs, thats about all I can say without some character concepts.

I' definitely interested. I think I like #1 and #2 both a lot. I think I should advise you to keep the party small. High level characters, especially gestalt, can get quite troublesome to handle.
Should we come up with character concepts?
I would be interested in either #1 or #2 with no real great preference towards one or the other.
I have always liked variations on famous epic sagas, and 13th Warrior was an excellent adaptation of the Beowulf legend.
I have also played in and run ascension quests and found them to provide interesting quirks for a campaign.
Both sound fun, and I would enjoy the chance to be in either.

Heya! Out of those ideas, #1 I think would by my first pick. I've not seen the 13th Warrior, but I could make do with a relatively short summary, just to give me an idea of the flavor and so on. #3 strikes me as an interesting idea, but it's not really a game concept. You could work that sort of 'clash' into just about any concept.
What sort of starting level, statgen method, etc would we be looking at?
Yes, indeed. I'm interested as well (as if being in one of your PbP games isn't enough *grins*). I'm definitely game to give it a try. Playing a gestalt sounds like a very interesting change of pace.
__________________ Of course... this is just my opinion. I could be wrong.
I've kind of been giving thought to either a Paladin/Monk or maybe a fighter/Monk... Not really into the oriental culture so it will be mostly for the mechanics… And of course it needs to work with the game…
Of course a Paladin might not work in the game so I wouldn’t consider it to be in stone…
LW, hey will you allow us to buy off LA or not? (I can show you the rules if you don't have WotC's UA.)

1 or 2 sound good to me, also I'm interested in this game

I've looked at the material I have for #1 and #2 and have decided I can combine them fairly easily, it also makes updating #1 easier.

OH what about XP to make magic items with?
Level 10 initially, gives us a while till Epic.
XP will start at 50000, that should equate to half-way to level 11. Thats 5000 XP for item creation if you want to try it.
Stat Gen will be 40 Point Buy or Grid method Using 5d6 keep highest 3, I'll let you vote.

No, although your LA, and monster hit dice, only count along one class 'track' so you will have BA and Hit Dice from those levels.
The way I have rigged up my campaign world leaves a good amount of it 'gray' and fairly unwritten, so if you want to take it upon yourself to design a race, item, outer plane, etc. for your character then feel free. I try and get some good mileage out of all PC designed stuff so what you design will carry over into future games. I'll get up some world info within the next few days while you vote on stat generation.
