The plan (such as it is) is to run the roleplaying side of things here, while here in Roll20 is a tabletop format that shows the map and player moves running alongside it.  Tokens can be moved there during fights and such, while roleplay and actions happen here.

I think I tried using it once and I wasn't fond of it. Especially of the fact so many people in the one I run go on and off at different times. Mind you, I also have Auto-CAD to make all of my custom-made maps, which is a very expensive program (even though I got it for free because I got it with the laptop for classes) and not many people know it or how to work with it. So it sticks me with a slower paced game, but I can (horribly) manage. I'll take a look again and see if it works. If I join, I'm thinking of being a "lawful good" paladin (think Kore from the Goblins webcomic). So detect evil, smite evil, ask questions later sort of thing

Question: How are we generating stats? Point buy, rolling or what?

EDIT: What books are we allowed to use too? It could affect my choice of character and junk.

[Iituem]

Basic PHB 1 classes permitted.  If you want to use a different class, you'll need to convince me.  No psionics.  Roll stats; 3d6, but you can select which goes to which stat.  (I'll add that to the OP.)

And yes, 3d6 creates a lower powered character, but I'm looking to run a campaign for less 'elite' characters.  Vulnerability without the suicidal possibility of the 6hp rule. 

[USEC_OFFICER]

I'm aiming for a Sorcerer, so no complaints there. It's just that some of the books added more spells/feats/whatever that I find useful, so... clear them with you first?

[Iituem]

Yeah, that's cool with me.  I just don't want to get carried away with expansion-itis, is all.

[Remuthra]

No Shadowsages or Crusaders ?

[Iituem]

Like I say, make a convincing argument, or no - stick to fighters and whatever the heck the base class Shadowsages deviate from are. 

[Yoink]

I was already thinking this looked cool (because heck yeah, pirates!) and then I saw the setting-- nice!
I'll definitely be watching this, should be quite entertaining.

[Remuthra]

Like I say, make a convincing argument, or no - stick to fighters and whatever the heck the base class Shadowsages deviate from are. 

That would be mages, for reference.

Got my character sheet done. Meet Caerill Crundmaíl, bard of the high seas. I was thinking of making a chaotic evil character I had in mind, but the rolls came up with those stats and I decided that a manipulative bastard neutral evil bard would be fun to play. I imagine Caerill's going to be the talkiest of the group. Anyway, the reason for the non-Myth Weavers format is because I have a program that nicely automates the process and makes it into a text file. Plus, I'm not a fan of Myth Weavers.

[Iituem]

Accepted, sheet is fine.  Don't forget your personal goal; not only does it make the character more fun, I'll be using those goals in part to shape the story.

[Fniff]

Personal Goal: The prestigious Admiral Mikkel Richards must either die a horrible painful death or be so utterly humiliated that his reputation would be ruined.

I'm going to PM you the backstory now.

[highmax28]

After careful consideration, is blackguard (aka non-lawful good paladin) allowed? Lawful good and allied with pirates doesn't work out too well...

[Iituem]

Yeah, I'll permit the non-LG variant paladin, so long as you're not True Neutral.  Just re-stat your "Smite Evil" and matching abilities to go against one of the axes (so "Smite Good", "Smite Law" etc).
