The Demiplane of Dread calls you. (Dungeons & Dragons, Saturday 9/5/15, 6pm CDT (GMT -5))

While traveling the High Road through the Mere of Dead Men along the Sword Coast, the fog rolls in with eerie speed. Obscuring your vision, and making continued travel nearly suicidal. In the distance, you spot the orange light of a lantern-fire. Approaching with all necessary caution, you find a two-story inn, apparently open for business.  Although the appearance of the inn saved you from wandering through the swamp, ending your life as another creature's meal, there's something about the inn that unnerves you. Perhaps it's the location amidst the haunting backdrop of the apparently desolate swamp. Maybe it's the swinging sign, bearing the image of a weeping willow, complete with a crying, mournful face burned into its trunk.   Or maybe your status as a natural born child of the Realms lets you in on the fact that you're not in Waterdeep anymore. And the land in which you find yourself has no love for strangers, and cruel plans in store for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am looking to form a game using old-school D&D as the basis. You don't have to know anything about old-school D&D to join in. I love the chance to convert modern players to the old ways. All you would have to do is show up and be willing to roll with it. Between macros, and my own experience in this version; you don't really need a deep understanding of old-school D&D.  This is not a text-only game, so some  kind of microphone is needed. But cameras are not. Character creation can be handled entirely before we start. This is a simpler form of D&D, so it doesn't take so long to create a character. If it goes well, this might be a recurring game. If it does not, it will only be for one game. (But even in this case, it will still be worth doing.) In total, between 4 and 6 players are needed. I hope to hear from you.
Correction: the date is meant to be September 5th, 2015. Not  "September 4th".
Sounds cool man!  If I weren't planning on running a game that day I'd certainly be interested in joining.  I hope you find a good group to game with.  :)
Hey thanks! I hope it works out. If for some reason your game has to skip a week, let me know! 
Argh! Man do I want to join in this, but it's way to late for (some of) us EU folks. =(
Sounds interesting.   I'd like to throw my name in for consideration.  Maybe a fighter?
Cool! I've sent you both PM's. 
I would be all over this if this was 5th. edition.  I have been playing since the early 80's and 5th. edition if the only version I play anymore.  What a shame because Ravenloft is one of my favorite all-time settings!
Is this what i think this is... Oh my God I haven been praying to join a Demiplane of Dread campaign... Is this 2nd Edition I been excited to play the Gypsy class (which I have a character sheet for), if not I really want to join cause I love this place just from what I read. 
Man! I wish I had time to play another game, because this looks so fricken cool. It would be great to play in a genuine second edition Ravenloft game again. Alas I don't have the time but best of luck Billy with getting players buddy.
