Ok, I tried this a while back and got no takers. With more people have seeker level characters, I imagine it is more likely to get people now.
So I am contemplating a PbP (play by post)running of Eyes of the Ten. This is otherwise known as the retirement arc. You will need a 12th level PFS character (and only 12th, you can't have any other adventures done post 12th such as seeker level specials).
This is a long module, and people will have to be very active to make PbP happen in a reasonable timeframe. If you cannot commit to multiple posts per day, this will really drag on.

I would definitely be interested in this. The local area has been trying to get one together for nearly a year with no success.
Ranger 10/Rogue 2 (or Ranger 11 / Rogue 1, can't remember, honestly...) ready and willing if this does get off the ground.
Ask Ser Chapman; I'm not entirely new to PbP, though I still have much to learn.

Savage Vengeance - Barbarian(?)
Jeremy Chapman - Alchemist
Sior - Ranger
Chris Rathunde - Inquisitor
Geoffrey Griffith - Cavalier
With that current list, I'm seeing no healing (beyond the Alchemist and Ranger doing Cure wands) and no face. Of course, that is simply going off the classes. I have no idea what the characters are =P Who knows, the inquisitor may be very healsy.
(Also, I just checked and it is Ranger 10/Rogue 2. Also worth mentioning is lack of trapfinding. Archetype. Mundane traps? Fine. Magical? Who wants to blow up?)

Once I have enough people (it's a rough module, so you probably want a balanced and full table) I intend to get started. I certainly hope that happens before August.
No worries. I wanted to be clear about my plans for the PC, so if someone else comes along and you all get going, I'll find another table.
(It should be pointed out that I'm going to PaizoCon, where this is set to debut, and if I can get in a table of it between all my GMing, KULIK would be ready post-PaizoCon.)

KULIK's a ranged Inquisitor, but does have all the happy stick goodness. No channels though, obviously; and no 5th level spell goodies until 13.

Remember Eyes of the Ten is designed for 4 PCs who don't level to 13 half way through it.
I wouldn't worry too much about party balance and instead bring the fun!
Umm, yeah. Right. Designed for 4 players with no nod to balance.
Have you actually played it?
Of course its reputation as a meat grinder is just a myth and it is just Candyland. Right. </sarc>

I have both played it and GMed it.
At least here in the Bay Area it has no reputation as a "meat grinder" and instead has a reputation as an awesome retirement series that is hard to coordinate.
Well I guess you must have the varsity of players around there, because around here people do regard it as a meat grinder and are careful to go in with balanced teams, and generally list off their number of deaths afterwards.
I don't know that there has been a group who has done it in this area without at least one death and usually multiples.

After having a rough time with Bonekeep 1 a year ago, I have been more wary of party balance. Not saying everything has to be covered, just would prefer a little diversity in the party.
That said, the general consensus here is for it to be run with 4 or 5 PCs, never 6, with faction missions and not leveling to 13 half way through. Basically, run as intended.

The alchemist that is interested is more than enough rogue to handle any of those situations. So are we back on track? I have not seen too many high level clerics running around the society PbP threads.
Bonekeep is deadly I have only played part II, but I doubt EotT is comparable. Bonekeep is meant to be difficult by design.

OK here is the thread in online campaigns. Everyone able to get started in the near term, please get posting over there so I know who we have on board.
