If it's 3.5, will you allow the Book of Vile Evil?  There's something dastardly in there that I might want to exploit use.
I'm allowing all sourcebooks unless something becomes ridiculously OP or game-breaking, and then I'll disallow it. I'll probably regret this later, but whatever.
You have quite possibly doomed yourself with muscle wizards.

Hmm, so are we talking about just one god then? I'm asking because I have yet to get a Radiant Servant of Pelor in a game that lasts any length of time.

Speaking of, is this a 1st level game, or what level we starting at?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

In with Carter McHenries; a travelling metalworker, a blacksmith and locksmith who knows a thing or two about alchemy as well.  He's a crafter, not a fighter, but he has a mighty fine sense for locks and mechanics, and given time and materials he can prepare the party for anything.

Please don't do character sheets just yet. I'd like to get an introductory thing written first.
Also, I think we have enough players now. I'll accept more if someone drops out, though.

The game will start at first level. I'll say that there are a near-infinite number of gods, but power is based on worship, so only a few are actually "present" so to speak.

By 'dark age Britain' do you mean technologically or similar politically and such?

I find the ones based heavily on RL aren't as good. Still good, just not AS good.
Not heavily based, but a similar technological level and general appearance. I also need a source of names that are not of the ridiculous fantasy or really boring (e.g. Stonebridge) types.

Can we import Greyhawk gods for ease of play?

You gotta be god damned kidding me. I've been waiting for some time for a 3.5 game to go up because and when one finally does? I'm at bloody work. Son of a bitch... Still, I'll be watching.

:(

II, could you handle 8 of us?

I shot for ten on my first try and sustained 7 relatively well for a while, barring the eternal bear battle.

Considering how often we'll be split up with your open world concept, 8 could be a viable number.

I read that as "eternal beer battle".

Lanius the Red the Orcish Dragon Shaman is willing to go to the wait-list. I'll edit him when I see more of the world and such that I need to make more specific decisions.

Ooooh, Dragon Shaman. Always wanted to see how that class works out.

Nerjin can join because he seems excited. However, I'm not confident in my ability to manage any more than this.

Anyway, I will revamp the OP with game-related information, and then you guys can do the character sheet thing.

Cool. I need to sleep right now, but hopefully by tomorrow night I'll have my sheet in.

I see your updated OP and I raise you a few questions:
Will feat retraining be a thing later?
Are Flaws okay?

Flaws are fine.

I'll allow feat retraining, I guess. If you find someone/something to learn the new feat from, and are not actively using the old feat, then it should be fine.

E: Also, now is the time for people to post their sheets. Then we can begin!
