Another Prodigal Son of D&D

#1 Post by imswayze »

Hello gamers! My name is Gabe, and I'm back after a 18 year or so break. Just a older kid now who could never quite find a good gaming group in his small rural town in the late 80s and early 90s. Way back before the internet could have brought me to you all. I was all suited up with no where to go, and now I'm looking for a little redemption.

I'm pretty inexperienced overall, but I've got a flexible schedule for participation purposes, and I'm pretty stoked to learn quickly, but patiently. I logged some valuable hours as an adolescent, reading through the material, writing up some basic modules, and preparing for an adventure group that never quite formulated back in the day.

I am most familiar with D&D and AD&D 2ed (I own those manuals) if it makes a difference. I am willing to go outside of that to make it work, no problem.

GET ME IN A GAME!!!

Welcome to the Unseen Servant, Gabe!

If you're interested in joining a game, start looking through the LFP thread to see if anyone has any openings.

If nothing peaks your interest, then I'm sure another game or two will be along shortly...

Welcome, Gabe.

If you haven't already done so, make sure to check out the 'Looking for players or games' thread. It looks like there are some games starting up so hopefully you can catch on quickly.
