Too Many Ideas

[making-half-dragons]

I often face an issue where I have a million and a half ideas for character builds/ roleplay themes but I don't have the time nor do my friends to arrange more games where I can play them out. This usually has me excited for the next idea and I grow tired of my current character because of it, leading to half-assed roleplay and reckless combat (which is also generally out of character). I was wondering if anyone had this same problem and could offer any advice on calming my chaotic character creation brain. Or maybe some people could bounce build ideas around with me, that might sate the excitement too.
Currently I'm playing an aasimar sword saint samurai in one game and a human suit seeker inquisitor/dragon disciple in another (she has racial heritage kobold and there's tons of roleplay regarding her unnatural appearance)
However my current desired characters include:
Arcane duelist bard/ inpspired blade swashbuckler
hammer and shield skald
lawful evil dwarf stalwart defender
about 4 different fighter ideas (2 handed vital strike, 2 weapon, spear and phalanx)
un-mounted charge build
a warlock vigilante
either a kensai or swashbuckler with a katana to create the "quick draw wanderer" type of weeaboo ass samurai
a shadowscale (lizardfolk ninja, argonians are life)
and an eldritch archer magus/ cleric
I don't have the time to play all these but god do I want to.......

Play by post. It's where you play the RPG on a forum.

Pathfinder Society is generally good for this. Because it's individual sessions, not campaigns, you can play a different character each time. The down side is they all start at level 1, so it'll take a while to get some builds up and running, especially if you're switching which PC you play regularly. But this is why I have 27 PCs in PFS, and at least two more on the drawing board.
