I would be very much against making those classes off limits. Maybe the gunslinger if you DESPERATELY want to disallow black powder due to how you see the setting working (though even that's a half-baked excuse IMO), but apart from that I really see no reason to put them off limits.<br/><br/>Also, I very much want to play, so I'm fine starting at level 2 like everyone else and running with everyone through adventures.<br/><br/>Lastly, November is REAAAAAALLY far away. By that time people are going to get bored and drop off. If you plan on doing it like that, I'd wait until after the 10-day stretch ended before putting up the interest thread. Or at worst, myself and amol can run everything temporarily while you're gone. If you don't want interest to fall off, I'd start within a week or so at most.
