Introducing myself from Iowa

#1 Post by MarguilleBlackAcre »

Greetings TUS Community,

My name is Daniel and I am from Des Moines, Iowa.
I have been a fantasy fan ever since I saw The Black Cauldron in 1st grade.
I started my fantasy gaming on The Black Cauldron game on Apple IIc soon thereafter.
Always a fan of the original Dragonlance books along with LOTR, Shannara & Forgotten Realms.
I am brand new to The Unseen Servant but I am eager to get started. Can anyone point me
in the direction of getting started?

Cheers!
Daniel

Assuming you're looking to play (not run) a game, I would recommend browsing the 'Looking for players or games' topic and see what strikes your interest.

Welcome to the forum. As DMW suggests check out the Looking for Players thread, even a few listed on the next page have ongoing recruitment to join existing campaigns.

Certainly plenty of fantasy D&D of early editions, 5th ed or Labyrinth Lord to get in to.

Welcome Aboard Daniel!

I also recommend looking at the games that are going and if something strikes your fancy go ahead and PM the DM.
