Just from my experience, I know some of the ones who have expressed interest here as regulars from WotC.  You all have impressive skills, so I think the best way is to have one CO Regulars party and one CO Lurkers party (no offense to anyone that feels they're not either and gets placed into one).  That's most likely how I'll do it.  Although if there's an outcry for something different, we'll adapt.
Longtime lurker and proud of it. :D

Funny. I was honestly just looking at your name and trying to find out where to lump you ;)

You prolly wouldn't have found me on the Wizards boards anyway, since I'm known (or not) under a different username there (well, 27 different usernames).

Probably best to have Agita and I in different parties to spread out the factotum love. That way she(?) and I can both do everything

I'm probably known around CO, but I know I've been absent from any amazing optimization breakthroughs recently, so I wouldn't be offended if I was placed in the "lurkers" group.

The notoriety of those I play with is not a factor; I just want to play!

Might be smart to split the groups keeping roles in mind anyway. No need to have a group consisting of four Wizards, a Factotum and a Sorcerer while the other one is filled with two Crusaders, a Factotum and three Clerics...

Edit: While the way of splitting the party aftercrescent suggested is fine, I'd like to note that all of us are quite likely to have optimized characters, because I bet there will be a lot of threads about this game at Min/max it! Hopefully so, because teamplay is always nice.

This is the first time I'm playing a Factotum actually, as I only recently acquired Dungeonscape. I've used it on another ocassion (For my Sublime Ur-Lyrist build), but it was only a single-level dip there - and I'm not planning on playing that (since it more or less sucks at levels 1-10). A few things that are immediately apparent is that the class relies heavily on Int, and that it wants Font of Inspiration. I'm still torn between going full Factotum (For the yummy, yummy Cunning Brilliance ability), Factotum 10/Chameleon 10, or Factotum 10/Exemplar 10. I'll prolly put a thread up in Min/Max it!.

KSB - your builds were some of the first ones I saw when I started looking for D&D help. They inspired me to become a lurker, so I probably wouldn't be here without you and your optimization  :P :clap

Tshern - I'm hoping once everyone is selected, some people who are on the fence about what to play will find inspiration in the party roles not taken.

Everyone - I count almost 20 people who have already expressed interest. It's ~7:30am here on the east coast. I'm cutting off people wanting to join at 10PM tonight.  I don't know how many more will show, but we'll see.  Also, I plan on running 2 games of 6 players. I'd love to do 3, but I just can't handle all that right this moment.  If anyone wants to pick up a third CO game as a DM so not too many people feel left out, PM me or post here. It'd be great :D

Also, like I said, even though I'll select people later tonight, I still want to finish the handbook I'm writing before I fine tune some details on the campaign, so it will still be a week or two to start  :P

I'll throw my hat into the ring as willing to play, but I'm a long time lurker and my CO and DnD playing ability is likely not up to par (too rural here to get a good group going).

*throws hat into ring underneath the closing door indiana jones style*

I'd liek to get involved if possible.  I'm thinking a Totemist would be cool at low levels (long-term, maybe head for Swordsage/Jaunter/Telflammar Shadowlord).

Dude! Seven pages? Is there any room left?

I haven't played D&D in a while. I'd like to take the role of party meleeist. The guy with a big stick to smack things with.

Edit-> I have two personality concepts: Jaded Jester, or Silly School Girl

Wow. more people already?  :smirk

You all just want to make my decision harder  :nonono Just kidding.

I'm off to sleep for a bit. Feel free to PM me if any of you want to take up the mantle for a 3rd or 4th party. I'd definitely reserve you a spot if you want to play & DM :)

I LOVE the Totemist pouncer - sooooo gooood. 

Wow.  I'm gonna have to think HARD about who I roll out for this.  Should be pretty phenomenal!

You gotta give us GROUPS, aftercrescent!  I lurve everybody, but boy howdy would I like to see what a team of surrious regs would look like . . .

TEAM 1:
JWO, JJ, Tshern, DM, Surreal, and . . . who?  KSB, Dave, Agita, SkyDragon, Ejo, Thinblade . . .

Jeez.  We made need another DM!   :D

This is intense, y'all.  LOVE the way this new forum has gotten the community fired UP!

Maybe you should nudge DM & Surreal over here in time, then  :wink
