I pre-ordered a copy of the Pathfinder RPG yesterday. I have no idea when my copy will arrive--ordered via amazon, so your guess is as good as mine.
I'm going to play a greatsword-wielding front-line melee combatant of one variety or another. Right now I'm leaning toward paladin, but because the setting info isn't out quite yet, I'm still a mite bit iffy on paladin. If I can't finaggle what I feel to be a workable paladin concept (and, no, I don't play knights as jerks...I like to get along with my fellow players when at all possible) that meshes well with the module, then I plan to play a "fallen paladin" whose anti-Chelaxian code has resulted in him/her being stripped of knighthood--in this case, I'd be playing a greatsword-wielding fighter.
Sounds great, CB!
Everyone, please do note that my intent right now is just to discuss character races/classes in broad strokes. Once the Player's Guide is released, then we can start talking details. So, it's a great idea to keep certain options open, just as CB did above. Nothing need be set in stone just yet.
So, this leaves only SelcSilverhand to weigh in and accept a spot in the game. Most excellent.
I completely understand the financial straits you're in, and I hold true to my word that we'll find some way to get you a character made even if you can't get the rules. Still want the cleric, or has something else grabbed you?
Cleric works for me. IIRC, you said there's going to be a free player's guide. If so, once I get that and give it a looksee, I'll have a better idea as to what kind of cleric, but I don't see any reason to go a non-cleric route.

Indeed, there will be such a guide, and I will post a link here for the download, as soon as it becomes available.
Mowgli, I'm not too terribly keen on trying to convert 3.5 material to PF rules.
No problem! If I decide to go with a Ranger (likely but not a certainty) I'll play it straight out of the RPG - should still be able to make it work well.

It's all about having fun, right? Just being the kind of player I appreciate in my own games.

I've been keeping my eyes open for such a guide, but the closest thing I can find is the upcoming 'Cheliax: Empire of Devils' (a Pathfinder: Companion issue). It's available in print for $10.99, the PDF comes out on 08/19 and will be available for purchase (probably for $7.99).
It looks like they've transmogrified their player's guides into slightly beefier publications - excellent buys with lots of good info but not quite as accessible as when they were free . . .

Actually, the Pathfinder Companion line (not free) is no longer the same as their Adventure Path player's guides (free). This is a change they've made recently, and the new policy begins with the Council of Thieves AP. The player's guide isn't out yet.
EDIT: Check out this thread on Paizo's boards for the official scoop!

Good to know, WD. I think at the moment I'm going to stick to my guns and hold my offer to the six players I listed a few posts up. Two haven't yet responded, so if either of them bow out, you've got dibs. How's that sound?
Sounds good.

Hi I'm a comic and rpg nerd. Don't hurt me, please.
Hmm...any chance we could get a quick list of who's pitching what sort of concept?
Quick response, off the top of my head...
Canadienne Bacon - Greatsword-wielding paladin or fighter
Mark Chance - Cleric
Mowgli - Ranger with urban spin
Scott DeWar - Swashbuckler-ish type
SelcSilverhand(?) - I think mentioned interest in a sorcerer of some stripe

Rogue is also at the top of my list of favorite classes to play, Shayuri, so if you want to take a martial type I wouldn't mind at all being the party sneakster/skill monkey. Or even if you want to take the arcanist role (if SS doesn't respond) we'd still need a Rogue and I'd be happy to do that.
Excellent - looks like a killer party's shaping up!
I agree!
Hey, do any of you play in any other games on these boards with SelcSilverhand? Has he been around at all? I don't want to be too hasty to give away his spot; it's likely that he was one of many who stopped checking the site regularly while they were having such dreadful server problems.

I don't, but I took the liberty of looking up his profile and sending him a PM letting him know we're looking for him. He's was on the boards at 8:42 this AM (last activity) but that was before I sent the PM so he hasn't had a chance to see it yet.

When should we have some character builds ready for?
Also, this is silly, but lemme just confirm, are we at level 1?
Well, I wanted to make sure you all get a chance to download the player's guide...which is scheduled to be available on Aug. 13th. So, hopefully after everyone has seen that, we can get things done fairly quickly.
Heya, sorry I didn't check in sooner, had a chaotic week at work. Definitely still interested! I'll be building a gnome sorcerer and probably focus on mind control. Should have more details soon once I finish fleshing him out
