Greetings to all sword-swingers, spell-weavers, and knives in the shadow! I am a DM who started in 4e, but fell in love with the older versions of D&D. I have played and run games in: BECMI, B/X, 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 3.5 (once), 4e, Next, and the official 5e Starter Set. Now i'm looking to start an ongoing game using the 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons core books (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, & Monstrous Manual.) With the short-term aim of running the Ravenloft module around level(s) 4-5. I have run a single game using the 2e core rules, and found i rather liked them. The expansions and additional 2e books haven't been ruled out, of course. But i'd like to start small and build rather than jumping into the deep end. What i'm looking for as far as players go, is pretty simple really. People who like to talk, can make a consistent appointment (or can let somebody know if they're going to miss a week or two), people who get attached to their characters, and people who can get comfortable with strangeness. I tend to like really surreal environments, and those who check out when things get too weird probably won't like it. New players are always welcome, and don't worry if you don't own a copy of the 2e books. I can get you the info that you need. I'm looking for 4-6 players or thereabouts. Depending upon the responses, i'd like to aim for this Saturday, July 26th, at 6:30pm Central Time (GMT -5).
