Hi! Iziak here. I’m wondering if anyone around these parts would be interested in a Rise of the Runelords Play-By-Post.
Although I know that there are some other RoTR PbP’s already active, the main reason that I want to do this is because A) I need a group and B) I want to test out the PRPG Beta rules. Because of this, if you have already read/GM’d/played in another RoTR group, I’m fine with you joining in (just try not to give away spoilers to the other players). If you are currently playing in another GM’s RoTR game, please ask before joining here… I don’t want you to find out what’s going to happen for another person’s game unless they’re OK with it.
Now, on to the game:
POSTING GUIDELINES
I hope for postings from everyone at least once per day, if not more. If you are unable to post on a particular day, I may post in your stead if necessary. I plan to check the ‘boards a few times a day, but sometimes that might not happen… I’ll take a look as much as is reasonably possible, and I hope that you do the same.
I don’t feel that other players are going to cheat… that’s just not cool and it goes against the spirit of playtesting. So, you can roll your dice at home. Just post the total, MODIFIED, result. For attacks, please post attack roll and damage roll at the same time.
CHARACTER RULES
All rules in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beta Playtest Edition are usable by players. In addition, in the spirit of backwards-compatability, I’m also allowing most rules (by Paizo, Wizards, or another company) designed for 3.0/3.5. If you use something not from the PRPG Beta, however, please notify me of the source and page that it is in, and provide full rules text (for a race, feat, spell, or magic item) or provide most rules text if asked (for classes and other major rules elements).
Ability scores are generated using the standard PRPG point buy system.
I’m hoping for a total of 3-5 players. I have two friends who may be interested and get first dibs… after I have 3 players, I’ll see if they’re interested and then accept more until I have up to five.
If there are any other questions, please post here.
Thanks!

Here's a different idea that I've just been thinking about: There are quite a few Rise of the Runelords PbP games, and there are quite a few Curse of the Crimson Throne PbP games, but I just thought up of a way that I could blend the two together, with some additions and modifications to make both adventure paths work together in a single, cohesive storyline. The following spoiler contains little actual information about the adventures, but it does have some.
Any thoughts or ideas?

New info:
The following races are allowed: the core seven, tieflings (without a level adjustment and without the darkness spell-like ability), changelings (with the addition of +2 to any ability score), shifters (with the addition of +2 Wisdom and the removal of -2 Intelligence), and warforged (with the addition of +2 Intelligence and the removal of -2 Wisdom).
The following classes are allowed: the core eleven, warlock, duskblade, hexblade, scout, psion, psychic warrior, wilder, soulknife, dragonfire adept, factotum, dragon shaman, artificer, warmage, and spellthief. The Chaotic Good paladin variant in Unearthed Arcana is also fine for use.
Other races or classes, including incarnum, pact, shadow, truename, and nine swords classes, may be possible, but check with me before using them.
IN ADDITION I will be running this as a hybrid Rise of the Runelords/Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign (hereafter referred to Rise of the Crimson Throne) unless someone else has any objections.
