Hi All

#1 Post by AleBelly »

New to the forum. Got Moldvay/Cook rules for my 8th birthday; was fascinated to read through it but rarely ever found others to game with. Dusted it off by chance last visit to my folks and have been running a game for my young son as a way to flex his cranium. Figured it might be fun to try PbP as I travel a lot and it could fit my schedule.

Well, enough babbling....

Hail and well met, AleBelly!


Welcome aboard and hope you find pbp to your liking. Imo, it's about coming to terms with the pace and enjoying the role-playing & character immersion. Hope you have fun running for your boy and may his cranium muscles develop quickly! 8-)

Welcome AleBelly! I'm also relatively new, also travel a fair bit and also have had trouble finding locals to play with, and I'm enjoying this place a lot so far. Good luck & enjoy! :D

Love the screenname! 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 to the Unseen Servant! We enjoy long walks by the beach, professional wrestling midgets AKA "little people", Building additional pylons, and the occasional Dungeon Crawl!

I changed it up a bit since GreyWolf thinks I don't change it enough. :lol: 8-)
