Hi, totally new to PBP, but excited to get into it. Seems like a good way to get some gaming in around everybody’s schedule.

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 in! You'll find PbP a nice way to stretch your RPG muscles.
It's hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.

Though, I think, only folks who are Game Mods (aka DMs or GMs of PbP games here) can see the real names. At least that's how it used to be :)
Again, welcome!

I don't see real names, so it must still be that way.

Anyway, welcome Ryan!
On November 2nd I will 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.

Well, Tamerlaine is starting a game of Labyrinth Lord’s Advanced Edition Companion (think 1E).

I don't know how familiar you are with The Unseen Servant layout, so if you already know the following, please ignore.

If you Click "Board index" in the upper left of the page, then in the "News, Help, Introductions and LFP/LFG" section, the sub-forum "Looking for players or games", there's "Highfell: The Drifting Dungeon - LL AEC". Click that and you can see what was posted.
