The Curse of Murder in Baldur's Gate. D&D Next/5e. (2e?)

Hello. I have tried to go through the module "Murder in Baldur's Gate" three times now. Once as a player, and twice as a dm. All three times, people stopped showing up and the game just stalled. But i've been staring at my copy for a month now, and i think i'd like to try again. So if you're loud, creative, socially maladjusted, and well-acquainted with the question "what's wrong with you?" you're probably a person i'd like to visit Baldur's Gate with. (Not quite so much with the power-players or optimizers. But hey, people can't be peaches and liverwurst all the time.) I'm considering Next/5e (whichever has the most interest) as the rules. But i'm also fascinated with 2e at the moment, and i think it would be fun to retrofit the module to run in the older system too. We might start out at Nashkel or Beregost or some other small city beforehand, and then move into Baldur's Gate. Or we might just jump into the module directly and leave the backstory to you guys. It all depends on the temperament of the group. Time-zone is Central (GMT -5), day is currently undeclared.
What timeframe are you interested in? (not just timezone as you might like to play-during-breakfast for all we know) You hint at the idea of being the DM but are you considering running a game? (if so I may be interested) My timeframes are posted in my profile <a href="https://app.roll20.net/users/571264/pirate-indigo" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/users/571264/pirate-indigo</a>

Pirate: Efficient use of the profile, i like it! The only thing it doesn't tell me is your time-zone. Sorry, i thought it was obvious that i was the one running it. But i guess it was only obvious in my head! Like the day, the time is undeclared. If we can get a group at noon on saturdays and at no other time, then it will be noon. If Tuesdays at 3pm is when everyone can show up, that's when it will be.
Timezone is posted at the end of each day (EST aka Eastern US aka GMT-minus-5)
I'd be up for giving it a shot. Typically Tues - Thurs aftre 6 PM EST works for me.

I'm available on saturday, anytime (and I mean that quite literally) GMT+1 Also, I'm only going to join if we do 2e, I really don't like anything further than 3.5
Thursday evenings late like 10:30pm CST start would work for me and my brothers. There are 3 of us looking to get into a campaign style gaming group. We have not played in years but would like to get back into it. Let us know if you need some fresh meats! lol
I saw your thread on reddit and I would be interested If its on a weeknight after 9pm cst.

Laurents V.: Unfortunately you and i would be the only ones there if we went 2e. And if we went 3.5 I wouldn't even be there! Miguel r.: 9pm is just too late to start a game. I mean, it might be enough time. But it would feel real short, and i prefer to compensate when i know there's a weakness. Ian B.: 10:30pm is definitely too late to start a game. We'd have an hour and a half total before almost everyone would absolutely have to leave. If we ever talked about anything besides the game, we'd lose a third of that time as well.
Hi, I'd like to play if you decide to play on Saturdays. I'm on PST, time is flexible.

I've got a 2E Tavern group on here if you want me to crosspost your pitch (100 members), if you go that route. I would've spoken up for 2E for this myself but I just wouldn't have time to play in another game right now. This sounds fun though, and I am your same time zone.
RoninDude from Geekly here. I work 3rd shift so generally anything past 9pm CST is a no go. Currently in another game wed nights, so any other day is cool with me. If we're looking at around 3 hour sessions, around 6 CST should work for me. I'll forgo sleep for gaming lol Oh and leaning towards 5e still.
I shot the guy who made the Reddit thread a PM there. I'm not sure which of you that is. I'm good to go on Tuesdays at 6:30 central. I'd like to play 5e and I'll play whatever role the party needs. I've played a lot of RPGs so no teaching necessary. (well, besides the occasional new 5e rule screw-up!)
Are there still any open spots?

Tuesdays are great, any system, just let me know.
I'm interested, Any night(6pm+) except Thurs/Sats I'm good.
Not sure if you are still looking for people, I would love to join though. I have never played next or 5e yet though, I have played 4th and second before though.
Very interested if this adventure is Next/5e, depending on the time slot.
Also very interested in playing if 5e.
Me and My buddy would be very interested in joining this.. We both have well over a decade of experience in playing.. would love to join.
I'm interested. Will do 2E or 5E not an issue to me. :D
Wow. I didn't expect this thread to pop back up. We actually have the full party already, and have been going for a few weeks now. I might have something else coming up if you guys are still looking. Not Forgotten Realms, but it could easily be 5e.
