It depends on the premise, I guess. Like if we were playing pirates I'd say evil. Mercenaries, neutral. Standard adventurers, good/neutral. Hired guns/thugs/thieves/assassins, (an idea I've always wanted to try) evil.
I'd lean towards an Evil party, simply because I've not tried to RP an evil guy before. Should be fun.

I'm excited by 4th, so I'd love to give it a shot.

You might be in trouble here as I've taken a look at the Quick Play Rules included in Keep on the Shadowfeel and they depend PRETTY DAMN heavily on Miniatures and positioning in combat. Most of the abilities of the rogue depend on moving an enemy around the battle field, as do some of the fighters. Hence it might not lend itself well to a PbP format.

Fantasy grounds offers use of a battle grid... check it out if you want, but it does have the downside of cost: $39.95 to you Americans... about £20 to us brits

hey, i've been playing ofr almost two years now, I am currently running 3 games on whic in two i am a PC and in one im a DM, my favourite class is fighter, i love damage and slaying all kinds of monsters, the games are great, although most of the times there's somone missing and we have an incomplete party, never the less... we all have a grat time. I also like duskblades which combine power with spells which if used right cand be awesome... I am also planning on beginning a 4E campaign but no one want to be DM... im the kind of player who screws up the roleplaying part because i tend to speak too much, i always kill anyone who is misterious, and never wast words when wielding a good greatsword :)

Then we're playing Play-by-Post with the aid of MS Paint :\

Grids aren't THAT hard to work with. If someone scans a map or something, I can just play with Photoshop and add in icons to represent characters and other objects in the game-world.

I have a copy of the ACTUAL rules, at least as far as I can tell they look pretty fleshed out and we can use a grid system for example the party starts of in squares 1x23-1x30 no position yourselves. all of the villains are starting in squares 7x26-7x36 the farthest away are in 10x36. I also don't really want to be evil.

30 in 4th ed, there were rules for going past 20 in 3.x but they sucked.

EDIT: the 3.x ninja class sucked anyhow it was like a rogue with a few nifty tricks except the most useful trick was almost unusable.

Yeah, the dark side tempts me right now. Just no "anti-hero with a troubled past" characters.

Don't you only have the capability to get to level 20 in Dnd?
4th Ed's switched the system from a 1-20 (with to-40 as an afterthought) to a 3-tier system, the Heroic (1-10), Paragon (11-20), and Epic (20-30). Epic sounds pretty sick. One of the few games I've heard of with ability descriptions that start with "When you die...".

I think they did it to accommodate some of the more power-hungry players that grew up with video game RPGs. Video game RPG plots are strongly concentrated on the epic journey and world-saving (or at least addressing critical cosmological aspects ala Mask of the Betrayer) that that not having some kind of "superhero-level" rules from the outset wasn't really an option. Plus, Epic Destinies seem pretty fucking cool. Eternal Hero and Demigod rules FTW.

I'm ok whit any really, but it has been since it's been a long since I've played in a evil party, so I would prefer it.

I was going to make a paladin with a case of the wanders, that is the desire to wander around beating evil ass.

That's a pretty good idea.

..you know, I have some interest in this. Friends are milling about deciding on a game to play around here anyways :p

No preferences to what we do, though. I don't have anything specific in mind for a character..gimme a setting, and I'll think up something. Though I'm leaning towards a cleric for the next game I'm in.

I play with an online organization, playing through a chat room (two chat rooms, actually. One for OOC talk and die rolls and the other for in-game dialog). It's great for when a DM has to quit the game because a new one can get assigned pretty fast. I run a halfling rogue/swashbuckler/shadowdancer in one game and DM another.

I also play a face-to-face game at a local gaming store where I run a human ranged fighter. We also tried the 4e preview module last week. I liked it

I've always wanted to play D&D, but I could never find anyone else to play it with.
