So, the title says a lot of it...but maybe not all. I've been running a 1e campaign for about a year now, and I enjoy it, but really am itching to be a player a little bit more. I've also been experimenting with Dungeon World, and I like the improvisation factor of playing to see what happens, and collaborative storytelling. But I also like the scaling up of power in AD&D, and so I'm wanting to try to combine the two, and hopefully get to play a bit as well.
Here's The Pitch...
I'm thinking of a group of 4-6 players, with each person controlling a main PC, and perhaps a backup PC or hireling (you know, those 1st level characters are awful squishy). We'd rotate DMing, and maybe use the Random Dungeon Generation rules as well as the Wilderness Travel rules in the DMG to basically create the world around us as we go. If someone decided they wanted to DM a module, we could try that as well. While one person is DMing, his/her character would be either controlled by another player, or perhaps just take a "back seat" for the session or story arc, depending on how long the current DM wants. I haven't worked out all the details, and I'd be interested in hearing other opinions as well.
Times & Dates
I'm currently living in GMT +2, but will be soon moving back to the US, so will be in GMT -5. For me, evenings would be the best, and I can be flexible on the day. I think I'd like to play at least twice a month, but we can be flexible on scheduling as well.
EDIT: I should note that I wouldn't be ready to start this until after the holidays - sometime in January, probably.
So, would there be interest in this kind of thing? Anyone have experience running something like this?
