Looking for DM, EST evenings for old Dnd classics

I have heard so many amazing things about some of the older classics in Dungeons and Dragons but have never got to experience them. I would love to find a DM willing to run a one or two shot of Tomb of Horrors or White Plume Mountain. Or any of the many other older classics I always hear about. I am not free Fridays, but pretty open to a variety of other times. I am also completely open to any one-shot homebrew games that someone may offer. I'd really just like to get some experience with the system. :)

I do offer some one-shots & open tabletop (play anytime our schedules can match), in a system called Basic Fantasy RPG which is like 1980's D&D, and has a free rule book. There are only some minor differences from Basic D&D. I don't run Tomb Of Horrors or White Plume Mtn modules in this, but the vibe is quite similar. It's about the same style as those, but homebrew version. Dungeon crawling, traps, monsters, fun house, weird gonzo encounters. Very basic and classic fantasy dungeon gaming. I've played both the adventures you mentioned the titles, so I know the gameplay style of those 2 classics. If you want to join my Basic campaign and try it & see if there is a time for you to play it, Private Message me asking to join the Basic game and I will send back the link to you and discuss a time to make a character and play.
Tomb of Horrors? If you can promise to stick with it until you win or die, I'll do it!

Now i could give you some even older stuff if you were interested. Castle Amber (my favorite), Keep on the Borderlands, a really great module called Night's Dark Terror. You might not have heard of them, but i've read most of the old modules (run more than a few of them too) and those are my favorites.
I'm interested if the timing fits and it's a 3.5/pathfinder adatptation.
i've wanted to get slaughtered up in the infamous Temple of Elemental Evil for something like 20 years, now... My preferred systems are 2E and 5E (i like being able to customize characters to a degree, instead of playing rubber-stamped copies). but, ToEE aside, any kind of long and deep dungeon crawl sounds like fun. if this gets going, i'm available: mon - every tue - every wed - every other thu - every fri - every afternoon+ sat - every evening sun - every. that's all based on PST/PDT... so i'd love to hear more from you guys and see what happens.

Billy Redd said: Some might say that making the character unique is your job, rather than the rulebook's. which is a valid point... and ofc there's the question of -what- makes a character unique, etc. i'm not saying it can't be done, just that when the rules work with it, it's easier to feel unique.
True enough.
