Does this mean that I can't play? :/
I'd like to join this motley crew; I have a few character concepts in mind, but I'll want to review who's playing what to help me along.
If I'm reading it correctly, there is currently a Paladin/Sorcerer, a Cleric of Bane, and a Rogue... or am I missing something?
One concept I'm tinkering with is a Gondite; a fellow who has traded his life for unlife so that he may continue his work as an inventor... this guy could easily be a Mage (with 'artificer' flavour).
I'm also thinking about an "urban" Ranger or Druid; a vampire who has become so passionate about an area (or something/one IN the area) that he has sacrificed his own life to keep an eye on it...
And of course, Bard. Because Bards are awesome. More on that one later.

@ Herobizkit - Aside from my cleric being a follower of the Elder Elemental Eye as opposed to Bane, your assessment seems right. Since the recruitment cuttoff is set for the 8th you're not too late.
A Gondite would make an interesting combination with my cult leader ;p your character's faith is concerned with where all things came from and mine is concerned with where they are going, like the beginning and end of the same story. And there is no down side to playing a magely type since everyones HD are d12s because of the vampire template.
A bard could help bring newcomers into the "Tavern" we are going to be in charge of a bit better than a sniper or crotchety old druid can.
66k for gear can take a while to get through, so get a move on

[Note: this post rambles; I am brainstorming and writing as I go]
Man, if I have to get all my gear form the Pathfinder Alpha rulebook, I have a lot of reading ahead of me.
I believe I'm going to combine my concepts. I envision a Bard whose cover story is a quiet, bookish sort who dabbles in machinery/clockworks (especially toys for the children). In the Tavern/Inn, he can be seen telling all sorts of stories, entertaining with his magical tricks and gizmos, and always happy to listen to whatever stories people have in return (and sometimes doling out drinks in excess, because hey, he's a swell guy).
I envision his "avatar" as a younger Anthony Hopkins from the first Zorro movie, accent and all, specifically the part where Hopkins is disguised as a servant to a noble. In fact, I might even play this up and "serve" one of the PC's (because, after all, no one suspects the help).
In this character's backstory, prior to being Embraced, he had aspirations of becoming an Artificer. Somewhere along the way, he learned of the existence of a lost Library somewhere in Undermountain which contained a wealth of plans, schemata, and notes from a (now lost) Gond sect. He began wandering from town to town, searching for information regarding the sect. Upon his journey, he was attacked and nearly left for dead. A female vampire was taken by his looks and chose to Embrace him as her plaything.
... more as I think of it later. I mean, he IS only level 3.

Awesome Herobizkit, pure awesomeness. I'm really digging your concept.
Man, I cannot wait for this game to hit the ground running!

My crunch is likely going to be all wrong, so bear with me. I do have a few questions:
* Is the vampire template in the Pathfinder books as well?
* Just so I understand the character creation, I roll up a PC as normal, do my 3 levels of Bard, and THEN apply the template? Or do I add the template from the get-go so as to enjoy all the benefits of the heightened stats?
* The point-buy has me confused. Our stats start at 10's and we get 20 points to dole out. Assuming I spend nothing on Con, I can have 14's in all stats for 20 points. If this is the case, why do everyone else's stats seem so lower than they can be?

No. Use the template found in the Monster Manual.
Yes. However you do not generate a Con score.
As your PC is undead, you don't have a Con score to worry about. You do not assign points to Constitution. And you are right; you can top out each score at 14 before adding racial and template modifiers.
Don't know about the latter, I'll have to check it out later. That all for tonight. I'm sacking out.

Some changes to my character, He is now Paladin 2, Sorcerer 1. I need to double check a few things, add some mundane equipment and confirm his spells, which I will do Monday
Vertexx69: Vandaros also has a cult leader slant, though he is very subtle about it. His methods for recruiting lend nicely into work with Rangta for the most part, so I have included a bit of that in the background. Let me know if you are happy with that.
[sblock=Vandaros]
[/sblock]
[sblock=notes]
The Disc of Secrets is from the Cormyr Adventure, It is a basic Holy Symbol of Shar Disguised as a piece of jewelry. There is a command phrase to reveal its true form and to hide it.
The Daggers are from the gauntlet of infinite blades. They are normal, except when charges are expended.
The eternal wand can be used twice a day.
The Arcane Bond, if I read it correctly, means can use my Shortsword to cast one extra spell a day.

Vandaros, a hidden servant of Shar, spends a lot of time at the tavern, looking for bored young nobles he can seduce into worshipping Shar to lead them to thier oblivion. He is often involved with Rangta's Bachnals, seducing nobles with various mind altering drugs and slowly draining thier enthusiasm for life and convincing them that life cannot compare with the pureness of oblivion.
Vandaros appears as a pale young noble, always dressed in the latest fashions, a peculiarity of his is a striking vest he often wears. Seemingly woven of red and yellow gems the flame like patterns seem to move and flicker like a living flame as he moves. He plays continualy with a dagger when he is bored ,both feigned or real.[/sblock]
