I will be hosting a modified 4e campaign. I would like 4-6 players, preferibly 5. If I get more it just lets me have more fun with encounters. Here is some basic information to give you an idea about the setting:
News of the discovery spreads like wildfire. Ambitious lords, zealous high priests and enterprising merchants draw their plans fervently. The docks of the cities blaze with activity, as ships are outfitted for long journeys and word goes out at every village square and tavern throughout the kingdom. The New World has been found and the rush to claim and colonize it has begun!A brave group of adventurers joins the first expedition to make landfall in the New World. They will have to overcome unique challenges and threats unheard of in the known world. Their greatest enemy is not an evil adversary or corrupt king. It is the unknown. The unknown land that stretches endlessly past the horizon: the unknown inhabitants of the New World and most importantly the unknown decisions that will ensure the safety and prosperity of the fledgling colony.- For stats, you will run them by me first. We will be using the point buy system outlined in the 4e Player's handbook. Stats start off at 10 and you have 22 points to use.
- Everyone will start off at level one
- Everything else is fair game as long as it's in the PHB 1, 2, or 3
- Every session will be done over skype, and will hopefully happen once a week.
- I need a backstory. Do whatever you want with it, but it must end with you getting on the boat to the New World.
List of Players: 1. Maddog12 2. Eruletho 3. Psichomancer 4. Dante 5. Kenwiel 6. Dwexen

Before I /in, what the hell are the non-spellcasting classes supposed to attack with? Are you just using normal attack rules from 3.5 for them, since they won't be getting their at-wills?
Also, claiming Sorcerer for now, as a striker
As a heads up, 4e uses more of a MMORPG class system, where everything falls into Striker (hits things really really hard), Controller (debuffs enemies while dealing less damage, more crown control than single target), Defender (It's a tank!), and Leader (your healer, buffbot, and does some good damage too). All the classes have a primary and secondary job, like a Sorcerer is primarily a striker, but can be a controller too. Paladins are primarily defenders, but splash leader, as opposed to Fighters, who are primarily defenders but splash striker. It's a... well, very dumbed down system, but I like it.

I do not like at wills for most melee oriented fighters. It almost completely removes the melee basic which bothers me a lot. I will give exception for certain classes that NEED their at wills in combat.

but the at wills are the melee basic... there is no melee basic in 4e, at least not an important one. The at wills allos for different fighters to fee different when attacking, because quite a few of them have secondary effects. They also grow in power as you can replace them as you level

also, I'm guessing since you said PHB and PHB2, those are the only player books you have? I would love the ability to use stuff from PHB3 and arcane powah, if possible, especially the latter, but I'm cool with just PHB1&2

I still need at least one more player for this campaign to start.
For everyone who has signed up already, I would like at least finalized character sheets sent to me by the end of the week. Backgrounds would be nice as well.

Since we have now hit the amount of player i need to start, I would like completed character sheets and backgrounds from every person by the 24th of November, Sunday.
Also we need to decide on a day and time for us to do sessions. I would like once a week, but I am ok with a biweekly campaign. I am free most evenings from around 7 PM EST and on. I would like preferred times from each of you.

EST, most of the players are East Coast, and Ken is in Germany so we need to build around that. We can start a little later if necessary.
