I have a desire to GM a PbP game and the role-playing possibilities of Fire Mountain Games' "Throne of Night" seems really intriguing. For those of you that don't know, this is a 3rd-party campaign that amounts to Kingmaker in the Underdark.
I've decided that I would like to run a group of all dwarves or all drow. For the drow, you would be septuplets, exiled from your house and left to die in the Underdark. For the dwarves, you would be family as well; the remnants of a dying royal bloodline questing to find your ancestral homeland.
I think it sounds amazing and I was wondering if people would be interested in playing it. If you are, please include if you'd rather play dwarves (good guys) or drow (bad guys).

Dwarves have the slight edge. I'll give this a little more time before I start accepting submissions.
Character building guidelines will be released when I begin taking submissions.

If you went the Drow route, would you consider non-Drow PCs that were slaves/servants to the Drow PCs? Allies/hire ons could be interesting too, but I get wanting to focus on the Drow power dynamics.
I'm tentatively interested either way, just figured I'd ask since that would help showcase the Drow way of thinking.

Either or, I just want to know if Words of Power are allowed.
Probably going to play a blaster-caster.
I've never had a player use Words of Power. I'm interested to see how they work.

If we go evil, I'd like to focus on only drow characters. You're certainly allowed to gather slaves as you go, but the plot won't have much impact for "slave-PCs" except to watch as your betters gain more power.
An all drow game is intriguing. Would it be Golorion's drow? I'll need to do some reading...
Technically, this campaign is not in Golarion. But if we play drow, feel free to use any sort of Golarion flavor that appeals to you. I know I will.
As a side note, I'll let the voting continue until tomorrow evening. At that point, we'll know which side you're on and the submissions can begin.

Then our PCs will not be siblings. Problem solved!
Jokes aside, I'm the kind of person that always plays good characters and feels bad in videogames when I'm unable to save puppies: playing something evil once in a while is fun. :P
Also, I change my previous statement: scrap the Lamashtu idea, I could play a Pain Taster of Zon-Kuthon!

I'm GMing two games of this on the Dwarf side, but if you do run it with Drow I'd love to give it a shot as a player, provided you don't mind me having a bit of extra information.
The only classes that I won't be allowing are gunslingers, ninjas, and samurai.
Does this include the new Advanced Classes?
I mainly picked dwarves because killing siblings is a thing with drow. :)
The book has a few ways that the GM can set it up to deter the Drow from killing each other. I think it mostly falls under the universal "Don't be a dick" law, though. One can be evil without being a teammate killer.

They're cool, and looks balanced. The only one that seems a little nuts is the Arcanist: there was the Warpriest that looked a bit too strong, too, but we've seen it got nerfed in the preview blog some weeks ago.
Also, GM Olmek, what are your stances on house-rulings (concerning Whips, specifically :P)?

I absolutely adore the Investigator - It's a class that I've wanted for a long time and it's done very well. Bloodrager was pretty fun, too. I haven't checked out the others.
