It's okay, Gary sent me

#1 Post by samvandenberg »

I'm glad to be here! I'm interested in OSR D&D and meeting other players. I've been playing and running D&D games since 1988, so I'm not really new to it, but always trying to learn and improve. I've ran one play-by-email game years ago and participated as a player in one pbp game recently. I'd like to participate as a player here and maybe in the future run a game again. If you'd like to chat about OSR D&D, or just want to say, "Hi," please feel free to message me anytime. Cheers!

Welcome Sam! Great topic title, sorry the post approval took so long!
Just FYI, you need two posts approved before you can post without delay. It's a spam deterrent that has served us well.

Be well and be welcome!
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.

Welcome.

Plenty of old school roleplay and D&D here, many with open recruitment so you can just roll a character in the dice roller and join in straightaway.

Sure you will find plenty to chat about.

Greetings and welcome in!
It's hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.
