James, any info on a release date for the aforementioned player's guide? Will it be available before the adventure releases?

Ah, what the heck? There's room for one more. It doesn't hurt that I'm a big fan of OOTS. Head over to the Discussion thread, Sharoth. :)
I just don't know if I could handle 7 players... ...but it's tempting.
Okey dokey, I will go with either Druid or Barbarian then if you don't mind. Either one depending on the need of the party. Zarishu-Khem was going to play a druid now, so I'd say barbarian. But, you're free to go with whatever you'd prefer. Let's move talk of character creation over to the discussion thread, okay everyone? Thanks.
Okay then, I'll be making a gnome sorcerer - most likely with the Draconic(White) or the Elemental(Earth) bloodlines. Do they both sound alright to you? Either bloodline would be fine with me, Dave.
Accepted players, please make your presence known in the discussion thread, HERE! Character creation rules and a player intro have already been posted. See you there!
I forgot about favored classes. Did PF change to allow any class to be favored, or are Druid and Barbarian still Half-orc favorites? Since the final PFRPG rules haven't been released yet, we'll make these characters according to the Beta. Maybe we'll update them once the final rules come out. So, Druid and Barbarian are favored for half-orcs, yep.
stardust, Sharoth, you guys will be first alternates if anybody else bows out. Sorry to reverse myself like that, but I'm just so darn eager to get started. Gotta keep your priorities straight, man! LOL
Druid sounds great!

You know, what the hey...we've got six eager players on board. Let's just go with it. Roll Call:
If anybody wants to change your plans and play something else to make a more balanced party, that would be fine. Xabulba, stay tuned for character creation details. I'll post them shortly. Davi, I know you played Rurik in another DaD game, but it looks like it didn't last too long. It's not a problem.
All right, looks like this will be a Pathfinder game. Seems to be the overwhelming majority consensus. I'll hold the recruiting open at least until tomorrow, so there's still room for anyone interested to throw your hat in the ring.
Oh! Me! Me! Yay for JZ! Please vote: 3.5 or Pathfinder? Also, do you have any race/class/party role preferences? (Actually, it would be great if all responders could address these topics. This will be enormously helpful to me.)
It's fantastic, and I can't stand not using it. I have to run some players through this! I don't have a RL game group at the moment, so let's try it PBP. I'm an experienced real life DM (since the mid-80s), but this would be my first foray into the world of PBP. I'm looking for five or six players who are in the mood for a great dungeon crawl that mixes old-school design sensibilites with modern creativity as only Monte can bring it. A game set almost entirely in the dungeon could easily bog down, I fear, so regular daily posting would be a must. We could run this using Pathfinder rules or D&D 3.5, I'm flexible. First level characters to start, but we'll work out all such details later. First, I need players! If the response to this post is strong, I will select players in some fashion. It won't be on a first-come first-served basis. Now, who wants to go crawling in the Dragon's Delve?
Thanks to those who have taken the time to share some pointers. And, thanks also for pointing me toward the stickied thread, which was quite helpful. Much appreciated!
Greetings all, I realize that August is still a good way off, but I'm starting to get my thoughts together now for a pbp I'd like to run using the PFRPG rules. I might do Crypt of the Everflame, or I might dive into Council of Thieves. But, that's a decision to be made later. For now, as a rookie PBP DM, I am wondering if there are any pearls of wisdom to be shared by other DMs who have successfully sustained games over the long haul. What works well, what doesn't? I know that a lot of these games fizzle out, but why? Specific questions I have include: 1. What's the best way to select players for the game? First come, first served? Random draw? 'Judging' the applicants in some manner? 2. How do you maintain player interest to keep them posting regularly? How do you prevent DM burnout? 3. How do you handle die rolling? All DM all the time, or players take responsibility for their own? How do you prevent cheating? 4. How do you handle combat? Are combat maps a necessity? If so, what's the best way to make them? I appreciate any and all feedback you may have on these or other topics. Thanks for your time! -Alan
