I will be coordinating, likely the first, play-by-post run PFS special here on the Paizo message boards – Siege of the Diamond City.
From the blurb:
After a recent discovery of a lost city in the heart of the demon-infested Worldwound, Pathfinder agents from around the world flock to Nerosyan, capital of the crusader nation of Mendev, to prepare for the coming adventure. When the city falls under attack, however, everyone within its walls must take up arms to defend against the Abyssal hordes. Do the Pathfinders have what it takes to hold back the demonic onslaught, or will their souls be among the first to be consumed when the Diamond of the North falls?
Designed to be run as an epic, multi-table event in which the actions of each table has the potential to turn the tide of battle, Siege of the Diamond City sets a new standard of interactivity for the fan-favorite convention special format.
As this is intended to be a timed event and the PFS leadership has showed concerns about losing the sensation of real life time pressure in a PBP format, this game will feature an aggressive time table. We’re planning to start February 7th and finish within 2-3 weeks. In addition, many of the events are meant to function in sync across all the tables involved. Due to this aggressive pacing and need for heavy coordination, I’m looking at the smallest special I can muster – five tables of four players each.
Of the 20 player slots, I'm not certain how many are open still but if you're interested in participating, please state your interest here. Make sure you include info on what character you'll be playing and your timezone. Putting like timezone players with DMs will optimize the amount of effective playtime people will get. Remember, this is a timed event. If you can't do more than one post per day comfortably, this event is not for you.
This special covers characters of all level ranges. If you're interested in participating and you're not a PFS regular, you can stat up a fresh level one character or play a pregen.
Feel free to lurk Aoann.
I'm in the market for an additional DM or two possibly. =P
Well it's not a huge priority currently. I already have the five DMs I need. I'm not going to worry overmuch on getting more until I fill the seats I have.
'strong maybe' sounds like a slacker answer to me. =P
I should have a 9th level Inquisitor available by February 7th; but I have other characters I could play at various tiers if there are holes at some lower level tables.

Sorry I wasn't able to help you by GMing Feral. Hopefully my quest to find a full time job bears fruit though.
Feral is fantastic though and from what I hear his roster of GMs is shaping up to be quite awesome indeed.
@Deane: I will do everything in my power to shake Gregor lose by the 7th. And now that Feral knows he's in my PbP, he'll hound me about it!
No slacking!
My top-level guys are in games unlikely to finish by the 7th, so put me down for my Lore Warden 3. If I'm lucky he might get one scenario locally by then, but won't level.
Hey everyone! I'd love to join one of the tables and I can keep Aod the Witchchild available for it (Level 5 Bardarian Kensai). This sounds like a war and war is what he's born for.
I'm Pacific time zone and can post multiple times per day.

Thanks...I've also got to hurry a group along for GM credit in order to get him to 9th...otherwise he may just have to sit pretty at 8th level. And even if we don't finish I have quite a diverse stable of characters who would relish the opportunity for a decent siege! (Depending upon which side of the wall they're on, of course!)
Everyone deserves to have their rabble roused every now and again.
A good rabble rousing never hurt anyone.
Is this a replayable scenario (like the Accursed Halls, etc.) or is it a one-time gig? I've signed up to play this at OwlCon next month.
One time.
Dammit, I was afraid you'd say that. Thanks Tek.
Very interested, have free a 2nd level Swashbuckler.
I have a few characters that I hope can be available by the 7th. This would be cool.
Thanks for all the interest so far folks. We've still got a few seats left so get the word out.
For people that listed more than one character I jotted down the first one that you mentioned.
Yup, we're still taking folks. I've got your name down. Look for more info in the days to come.
FYI...my Inquisitor will most likely enter this scenario at Level 8 and not Level 9 as previously stated. My Thornkeep group has hit some speed bumps and I don't think we'll finish in time for me to apply the GM credit before we begin our siege.

Having finished Icebound Outpost with Tek, I'm now ready to change Terrill's status from a strong maybe to an almost definite probably. He's just hit 4th level, and is ready to defend the Diamond City.
From a strategic standpoint during the siege, you can expect to find him standing right behind Oladon.
What a coincidence, Terril! That's where all the demons will be!
Things are coming along nicely. We have a handful of seats left. If you were interested in participating, speak up soon!
I'll have details on table/DM assignments and some general guidelines for the event in the next couple days. Stay tuned!
Sign me up. I have an array of 1-2 characters available depending on party composition, but all my higher level ones are currently occupied.
Thanks also to the little birdy that pointed me in this direction :)
Character amendment: Swashbuckler is occupied, but 2nd level Summoner is free.
I'm going to assemble tables sometime tomorrow. I'd like everyone to reference the sign up sheet linked at the top of this page and make sure I have your timezone and the character you'd like to play the most recorded. I'll be assembling tables by level ranges first and timezone second. Also, please note if your posting times are outside normal expectations (you work nights for example).
If I don't get a timezone from you, I'll assume it's because you're flexible and available to post at anytime time.
Timezone: Australian time, but I'm flexible.
Character: I'm seriously super flexible here. Characters in terms of rough but by no means fixed priority:
Human Ranger 2
Halfling Gunslinger 2
Half-Orc Cleric 1
Tiefling Witch 2
Aasimar Bard 2
It's important to preserve the fidelity of the information currently, thus I'm being a spreadsheet tyrant. =P
