Well, if we have yourself, me and Darkness8Me, that's three. How about players we know? I can probably get one or two more people to show up.
To do that thought, I'd need some campaign info. Me? I pretty much don't mind what type of game I'm in. When I GM, it's usally a 42 point based campaign with a minimum stat of 10 (people always leave Wisdom and Charism at 8 so I fixed them!) which leaves 32 points. Pretty high fantasy, mostly module/adventure based with a lot of role playing thrown in. Lots of non-WoTC sourcebook use. PrC's vary according to character and what they can convince me fits with their character concept. Last campaign ran in Karathis (Fiery Dragon) and characters got up to 9th level from the starting point of NeMoren's Vault.

I think it would be a good contrast if you would DM a campaign and alternate weeks with me. I prefer to keep the general flavor of my campaign magic-rare, and have listed some other changes in an earlier post.
As for characters, I'm thinking 28 point buy. Bonus xp if everybody chooses to play the same race
Paladin will become a PrC, and most easily available to lawful good fighters or clerics. Elves must choose sorcerer instead of wizard. If the players agree, I may start you all at 2nd or 3rd level.
A lot of things will depend on what the players want, but it's safe to say that I will want each player to spend time on their character background and give me a chance to touch it up.
Adventures will depend a great deal upon your PC's motivations. I'll do my best to tie together all your different background stories to start you off. I like to have at least one good fight each session, and am not inclined toward political intrigue as much (though I'll probably take a stab at it at least once through the campaign).
I'm thinking of using the FR maps rather than drawing my own. Nothing else from FR mind you, I just prefer using those free maps I got from Dragon Magazine.
Mostly humanoid monsters to begin with. Locations and territories will be important. Trade routes and languages spoken will also be important.

28 point buy sounds good and insures that everyone is on an even playing field.
Any limits in race/class? For example, do you allow core classes from Soverign Stone, or the variant classes from Book of Eldrich Might, etc...
For starting spells for spellcasters, are any other books outside of the Player's Handbook allowed?
For Priests, what gods will be available for worship? Any special or limited domains?
If we created the characters via the demo from the Player's Handbook, would you want us to foward the file to you for preapproval?
Are there any other special notes, like the elves being sorcerers that need to be in the know?
When would be a good time to meet at Mt. Prospect?+

I have quite a few "little thigns" I might want to add or change to the wizard and sorcerer classes. For now, I'd prefer to limit all wizards, and ask them to specialize in a school. Elves must be sorcerers, as I mentioned earlier.
Everything I propose is up for player approval, but if whoever is playing the wizard or sorcerer feels things are too tough, there is no reason we couldn't adapt the wizard to be more "regular" anytime between sessions.
I'll want to approve any external source material, including spells, PrC's (very limited), and probably anything else. It's not that I'm against it, but I may not want to include it due to the area your party is travelling, and what local NPC's are available to train or teach your PCs.
Don't expect to be able to multiclass from spell-user to non-spell user too easily, or vice versa. Clerics into paladins works well, though, as does ranger to druid, or rogue to fighter.
I'll be very strict about what new skills you might be able to learn. A lot will be determined by your character background stories. But it will also add some childhood skills to become class skills.
Gotta go to work. I'll post later after 1am tonight (central time)

Well, I don't know about the other players, but I'm thinking something along the lines of basic non-magic using dude like barbarian, fighter, or rogue. Keep it simple I always say. Well, atl east at first keep it simple...

Weekend gaming is not a viable option for me until after the wedding in May. Between now and then I have only one weekend that something is not going on.
