Hey all, I'm not particularly great at introductions but here I go... I've been playing D&D (or AD&D back in the day) for about 20 odd years now. I started with the old Red-Box Basic D&D set (anyone remember that?) before moving onto the D&D Rules Cyclopaedia and AD&D 2nd Edition from there.

Some of my fondest memories are of the 2nd Edition AD&D material - particularly the Ravenloft setting of that time which was (and still is) awesome and possibly some of the finest, most creative material to come out of D&D to this date. Due to time constraints (kids) in my life I find myself without the same amount of free disposable time I once had to play by tabletop. I do have quite a bit of experience at PbP and find it more convenient and easier for me to play due to the fact that I can put in as much or as little time as I choose to it.

Anyways, I hope to game with you all on the site soon and will certainly be looking for some games to get involved with .

Oh, and this dude is absolutely awesome !

Yay pirate orc!

Please allow me to direct you to the Players of Older D&D thread on the forums. You'll find we have quite the thriving sub-community!

Well met! I'm partial to old-school D&D myself. OD&D and AD&D and their respective retro clones are definitely gaining in momentum here, even among a mostly 3.5/Pathfinder crowd. I myself am running a Swords & Wizardry (OD&D clone) game, and am now starting up a new AD&D 2e as well.

Powderhorn is definitely right in mentioning the Players of Older D&D thread. Great group of people there.
Good luck and good gaming!

Thanks for the warm welcome, I'll be having a look at that link in a bit more detail
