So everyone voted PnP, except steven, who hasn't voted yet. I'll copy-paste their emails:
Sergey wrote:My vote is for pen and paper, sounds awesome! I've always wanted to play some proper D&D. I've played a few sessions of Black Crusade, a Warhammer 40k-based RPG, so at least I know what I'm in for.

jeff wrote:I really like the idea of playing DnD but I know it (combat at least) can get really slow with parties of four or more people. But that gets my first vote.
My second choice is being your sixth player for Icewind Dale.
recoil wrote:Yo icy,
I'm down for pen and paper.
And here's my chat with Qpo, in which he votes:
icycalm: you
icycalm: there?
Qpo: yes
icycalm: so?
icycalm: I got 4 votes, I need yours
icycalm: well, I am going for a nap
icycalm: i would have liked an answer before so i can start planning
Qpo: haven't read the D:oS thread yet
Qpo: opened the threads I was going to read, then went afk
Qpo: and just got back
Qpo: reading it now
icycalm: k i'll wait
Qpo: 4. Switch to pen and paper
icycalm: everyone said the same
icycalm: only recoil and steven haven't voted yet
icycalm: but we still have 5 players anyway
icycalm: even if they don't want to play
Qpo: awesome
icycalm: 5 is even the sweetspot for D&D
icycalm: 4 is too few
icycalm: 6 starts getting a bit too many
Qpo: is that party size, or including the GM?
icycalm: party size
icycalm: I've done 6
icycalm: so 7 with me
icycalm: it's fine
icycalm: most adventures say "for 4 to 6 characters level 1 to 3" for example
icycalm: so you COULD have 7 level 1 characters
Qpo: so 5 people at level 2 is ideal? haha
Qpo: (j/k)
icycalm: yeah, that's what I am saying
icycalm: 5 is a sweetspot
icycalm: and we have that right now
Qpo: all European?
icycalm: recoil just voted
icycalm: guess what
Qpo: pen and paper?
icycalm: yep
Qpo: haha
icycalm: so 6 players
icycalm: i even have the adventure in mind
icycalm: do you want a link to the cover?
Qpo: <- hype MAX
Qpo: yes
Qpo: you linking those covers sealed the deal for everyone, I'm sure
icycalm: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/e ... erdale.jpg
Qpo: sounds ominous
Qpo: I like it
icycalm: nice cover, no?
Qpo: yeah it's great
Qpo: love the autumn colors
icycalm: ok, i am making a thread in the forum and we'll continue the discussion there at leisure
icycalm: catch you later
Qpo: later
We are still waiting for steven to vote, which he can do in this thread if he wishes, but either way the launch of Cult's role-playing group is official! Check back this thread in 5 minutes because I have another post with more info coming.
