The goal is to play up, and as such needs a balanced and good group. If we can achieve such I will run this game VIA PBP and through roll20.
My goal is to get through this quickly, but it may take a month or so, so beware as this ties up your PFS character until completed.
One spot is reserved currently until I hear from my RL buddy who plays a bard, I also won't go without the full 6 that season 4 is built around.
Well I have a level 10 monk and level 9 wizard I can bring in depending on the rest of the party. I'd like to invite one of my friends who also has a few PCs that can play 10-11.
In all the season 4 mods I've played, whether we've had 6 people or not has never been a factor. I too have never used Roll20.

yeah it'd be good to make a roll20 account, and yeah I know it's not 100% necessary for 6, it's just a preference. When you're dealing with play by posts there's not much reason to worry about it slowing things down. As long as they are all posting at least once a day, it'll progress the same if it's 10 or 4.

Also remember if you don't have a character high enough you can pick a lvl 7 pregen, and then when your PFS character is high enough to have it applied, you then give it to that character. my group of friends and I have always played up without much of an issue with the encounters, and I don't think this will be much of an exception.
I've got my account also - Amazing Red.
Sweet.
Just remember that we want to play up, we need to have a high enough APL. That and the barbarian playing up is a bad idea. I would suggest Seoni the sorceress.

why would you think the sorc playing up is good but a barbarian is bad? I can understand if you'd rather see paladin or something, but arguing for the sorc doesn't seem optimal.
There is a wizard available, and he'll have the spells necessary I'm assuming. The sorcerer is far from optimized, and the DCs are low enough that playing up her DC 17 glitterdust ain't going far for blinding folks.
Her dispell checks are a few levels behind so become less likely. and her hp are at 46, which isn't bad, but the barbarian has twice that, and hits +15/+10.
It's going to hit anything most likely on the charge, or with the first attack at least, while anything playing up is going to resist whatever the sorc casts most likely, and the sorc is blast focused.
So far I've seen lvl 10 cleric, lvl 10 monk, oso with a eldritch knight or wizard, not sure what is being played by the other one but right now the average is at least 8 if the other three were playing pregens or lvl 7s, which is enough to play either direction.
I'm thinking adding another sorc/wiz that's evocation focused won't really add much to the group, compared with a character that can hit and do damage and stay up.

I think Red's point is that playing up as melee is inherently more dangerous than playing up as ranged/caster.
As a caster you can, in theory, avoid all danger just by virtue of being far away. As melee, you're going to be in the thick of it regardless.
It sounds like I'll be bringing my 11th level brawler.
Pretty much what he said. And also it'll probably our only source of ranged damage, even if it is subpar. And I think I'll be bringing my level 9 wizard(who doesn't do direct damage)

If the wizard is built like it should be, the melee is what'll be needed to clean it up quickly, and it's really up to things like barbarians etc. Ranged damage is typically overrated in my opinion. And often negated by things like deflect arrows, windwalls etc...
Out of the pregen options, I find the strongest for groups tend to be the barbarian/paladin
You sir have never fought harpy archers.
Fair enough, though that's only one attack per casting.
Uh, Harpy archers usually are flying. And also theres usually more than one. And he can't grapple with the free attack from Telekinetic charge.
Alright, looks like we have a party then.
