I may go ahead and start soon, if you're okay with it Phantom.  The first post is turning out to be longer than I originally planned, but with a little luck I can have it typed up before I go to sleep tonight.  If not, it'll be done by tomorrow.  

New characters can be worked in pretty easily; I doubt there's any point during the first mission where we would have trouble fitting a new character in. 

Even if it takes a little longer before we get a third or fourth character, we could do the whole first mission with just Viluppo and Solace if need be.  I'd prefer a bigger group though. 

EDIT: On second thought, maybe I should wait for Pathfinder.  Not sure really.
