Do you know the Fighting Man?

#1 Post by Fighting Man »

The Fighting Man, the FIghting Man?
Oh, do you know the FIghting Man
Who lives on Chainmail Lane?

My taste for RPGs is permanently stuck in the early 2000s, which means D&D 2e, 3.x, OWOD and Exalted 1/2E, L5R, that sort of thing. That said, I was invited here by a couple of friends to play an even more ancient game; B/X D&D crossed with Chainmail. Hope to havea good time here with everyone!

Welcome FM!
Your username has roots in the earliest of D&D games!
Great to have you here!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Welcome!
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Incidentally, all we had in the beginning were Fighting Man, Cleric, and Magic User.

And we liked it!

:D
