GM Starting Old School D&D Campaign, Friday Nights

I'm going to be running an old school game of D&D on Friday nights from 9:00PM to 11:00PM EST. Outside of dice rolling, my game is all narrative...no maps, no figurines, etc.. It's D&D as it was played back in the beginning. What I am looking for are mature players (in attitude, not necessarily years) who want a fun, social gaming experience with lots of imagination. New players or players that are new to old school D&D are also welcome. We'll be using the Swords and Wizardry edition of the rules with some house rules bringing in some of the best features from all of the retro-clones. You can get the free PDF Swords & Wizardry rulebook here... <a href="http://froggodgames.com/swords-wizardry-complete-r" rel="nofollow">http://froggodgames.com/swords-wizardry-complete-r</a>... (when you select the PDF, the price goes to $0.00) If you would like to sign on or this, send me a PM on here. Please no "maybes", I really don't want to have to manage a bunch of follow-ups for "maybes". If you are available Friday evenings from 9pm - 11pm EST and want to play, fantastic! Questions about the game are most welcome, feel free to ask here or in a PM.
Never played this type of DnD before, but I'd be down to play, I could get a friend too :)

I can play this on May 2 (if we book it in time), May 9, May 23, and also 3 of the Fridays in June. Cannot play on May 16, or June 6. Prior engagements. If this is acceptable I would like to sign up! It sounds fun. I played old school D&D since the 1980's, and have played S&W. I like to play with narrative, "theater of the mind". I have not been able to find very many games of this style on Roll20 (Most DM's use maps and tokens on here, even old school AD&D games that I've been in). Please contact me if I can play in your campaign.

The only reason I haven't toss my hat in to the ring is that my personal time is rather screwed up with college finals and personal stuff otherwise I would be all over this. I started out with BECMI back in 83 then moved onto 1e and 2e. I used tokens and maps here for the last year but I'm already starting to move back to the old ways by dropping those tokens and maps. Still mark me curious but not sure of my schedule.
Julio and Gold, you are both welcome to join. Do you both have webcams and mics?
Greetings, Possibly-Future-Dungeon Master Grim, I seek joining opportunity! I may not be very experienced in the ways of D&D playing itself but have enough of the research and know-how to role-play like it is to be! I'm in the Central US and have no issues with Friday nights at the times given, hell, you have quite the likable schedule setup! If I am to be included, do pardon me if I am not to be, I have a webcam and mic. Would an interview be liked, Master Grim?

I have mic for sure. I can do webcam by using my laptop instead of desktop computer, if you want/require/request video. A lot of games I've played on here just drop the video (as it doesn't always work smoothly), but considering your game is more focused on the narrative and isn't loading heavy map graphics, it will be nice to have the video faces, right. Also I can do Skype if that is needed for an outside-Roll20 comm option, but I want to let you know that I am NOT a member of Google+ so if Google Hangouts is used then I can't join it. Please post when you know if the 1st game would be, because I have to make arrangements to be free for the game time
Lilly...you're also welcome to join. Do any of you guys/gals want to make characters ahead of time? It should only take about 10 minutes. My schedule is fairly flexible.
Gold, you're in and the first session will be this Friday at 9pm EST. I'll send you a link to the game soon so you can join up.

Yes, send the link. I can enter to make a character, either today or sometime Friday b4 gametime. I would just like to make a non-evil PC. I can play any class.
I can make mine sometime tonight just need to know how you want to do it. as far as the pc goes id prefer druid/cleric but open to fitting what party needs

Leeeeroooooyyyy jenkins! Not sure if anyone else has declared their desired PC type yet. Having a druid and/or cleric would be good though, and I'm happy to choose a supporting class to start to build a party around that.

I haven't played S&W before, but I'm willing to give it a try. Played B/X and AD&D many years ago and a nice rules light system sounds like a good change. Except the odd vacation, Fridays are good for me. I used to run my game in that time slot last year. As for character type, I'm game for throwing the dice and seeing where they land. edit-I don't generally have a webcam set up, but I certainly have a mic.
New to Roll20.. I have never played old school DnD, and really only played one game of DnD 4e, but definitely free Fridays 9-11 EST and definitely interested. May take a little getting used to but I'm confident I can keep up. I guess just message me if you are down with me playing and let me know the first games date and I'll be there.
I'm helping people roll characters over the next hour if anyone is able to join. Send me a PM if you haven't already received one with the link.
Hi Grim, I downloaded the book and looks pretty straight forward. I enjoy role playing and have a creative imagination. If you have an opening I'd be interested in joining a game, and more if it is a good fit for all of us. :) I have a webcam and mic too. Thanks.
I'm going to do another character creation session tonight at 9:00PM Eastern time. Send me a PM if you would like to join OR if you already have access to the campaign, feel free to login this evening to get a head start on tomorrow night.
If it's not too late, I'd love to join. I have a webcam and mic as well as skype and ventrilo.
We have a full group but we can fit you in. Would you be able to login a little early to roll your character?
