BECMI anyone?

I'm having some serious 5e burnout (and frankly never really liked it that much anyway), and am looking to start up a BECMI game with any mature interested parties. Have some flexibility with meeting days and frequency at the moment. Give me a shout if you are interested!

What kind of game are you looking at running?

I'd be interested depending on day and time

Hey guys- Responding to a few questions here. Currently looking at maybe an every-other-Thursday schedule but have some flexibility if that doesn't work. Wednesday nights are good, too. Start no earlier than 7:30 or so EST. Play for 3-4 hours or so. That work? I'm looking to run a fairly serious BECMI game. Not serious in the sense of no laughing or anything (lol- that would be a nightmare) but more of serious in the sense that the simplicity of the rules doesn't mean the game should be goofy. Setting will be Greyhawk , far to the north in the land of Blackmoor. Or Mystara.  While I certainly love the old school modules, I don't plan in using them. Shooting more for modern-style sandbox campaign (with some straight up dungeon crawls included of course). If we only get a few players I'm definitely ok with people running more than one PC. Maybe even advisable given the lethality of the BECMI system. Oh yeah, and I'm a pull no punches let the dice fall as they may kind of DM. Makes it easier to stay honest, lol. Sound like something you'd be interested in?  I've been playing D&D since I was a kid, started c. 1980 with the Basic and Expert set. Played every edition since but still can't shake a love of the simple old system that puts the story in front of feats, min/maxing, optimization, and such. 

Afraid I'll have to bow out.  Wednesdays and Thursdays are both a no-go for me.

That's too bad. When is best for you? As I said I have some flexibility.  

Interested in playing your BECMI sandbox. Can't do Wednesdays (trying out another game that day), could do Thursday(s). I'd be more keen on Weekly, but would consider every-other-week. Started with Mentzer's Basic, Expert, Companion, in the 1980's myself

If d20 has burned you out...you may want to consider more narrative (story-based) systems like Dungeon World or Blades in the Dark.  I ran Temple of Elemental Evil (AD&D) using DWorld and it worked great.  Disclaimer: Powered by the Apocalypse isn't everyone's cup of tea... :)

I've looked into Dungeon World a bit. Seemed cool actually. Don't know anything but Blades in the Dark but will have a look. You in a game?

Gold, Thanks for reply. I'll see about another player or two and get serious about day/time. Tuesdays are OK but would have to be short sessions, say 9:00 PM-11:30/12:00.  Maybe that's a good thing though. One of the beauties of the old ruleset is everything moves about 3x faster than 5e.

Checking in here. Can anyone do Tuesday nights around 9:00 PM EST? 

Tuesdays I can do.

Folks, i can still do the Tuesday time slot if you want to! Player preferably

Are you still looking for players? I have a flexible schedule, I am going to be extremely rusty on BECMI maybe (have played a few OSR systems lately however). But if your still looking for players, I maybe have 2 others that'd join me (our group kinda fell apart). Will this be text or VC, im fine with either but I prefer VC.

Maybe but it in flux at the moment. I'll keep you posted! 

Ok, cool I will keep following. Im not much of a community poster, so sorry for the delay lol!

Excellent! I am still looking at this so will get back to you. 

Just to recap- Currently looking at a every other Thursday set up. How does that work for folks? Maybe start around 7:00 EST? 

If your looking to GM, I am part of west marches game using OSE. He is looking for other GMs to play in his world, you could check out this Thread ( <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10827907/old-school-essentials-west-marches" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10827907/old-school-essentials-west-marches</a> ) if you want Aaron, its a pretty cool group of people so far. But I'll join your game if your stilling willing to play if you don't want to join this group.

Raptor Jesus- thanks a ton! I'm gonna check it out because I'd love to play. If/when I get my act together to run mine (just super busy at the moment and just "broke up" with my 5e group) I'll let you know for sure.&nbsp;

I would love to be a part of this, but can only do weekends.

Same Cory S. said: I would love to be a part of this, but can only do weekends.

That's too bad. Weekends are out for me. Give me a shout if things change.&nbsp;
