[LFP] Old School Dungeons and Dragons - Swords & Wizardry

Players Wanted: 4 Game: Swords & Wizardry Complete (OD&D Retro Clone) When: Wednesdays from 9:00pm to 11:00pm EST I am looking for players to join a new Swords & Wizardry game. Swords & Wizardry is faithful in style and feel to original Dungeons & Dragons as published in the original three brown books and the following supplements. If you've never played an OSR style game then you may be in for a shock. Firstly the game is lethal. You play a hero, but you are not a super hero. If you're not careful, your beginning character can be killed off in two blows. Second is the dice determine your player. You roll stats and fit your character to the type of race and class that is compatible with your rolls. If you want to play a paladin, you better roll well. Third is that brains beats brawn. You're not going to be able to kill everything you encounter. Sometimes running away or figuring out an alternative non combative option is the way to go. Fourth is that the game has descending armor class. That means a lower AC is better than a higher AC. This isn't anything like 5e, but if you are looking for something new come join us. I think you'll be surprised at how fun this game can be.
Wow, this sounds great!  I have 2 players in the EST who would love to try this out.  We are looking for a regular group and have Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, and discord.  We are able to start immediately!

Barbra, this is great. When you say you have two players, do you mean you and someone else or do you mean there are a total of three of you? Also, what kind of gaming do you like? More roleplaying? More combative? Module based? Sandboxed? I'm not sure if I'll be running the game on Roll 20 or Discord. I haven't finalized this yet. 
The players are me and another player.  I may be able to get a third. We're open to anything.  A mix of RP and combat and puzzles and sandbox.  We're up for anything. We also have Fantasy Grounds, TeamSpeak, and communication apps.  If you like, I have a Discord server and can set up a channel for us.
That's perfect... last question. I noticed you've replied to a number of groups looking for 5e players and you have players already created. Are you and your other player willing to play essentially a strealined D&D 1st Edition using the Swords & Wizardry ruleset?
Yes, we are willing to play with the older rule set.  May take us a little bit to come up to speed, but we're good with that.

Cool, just let us know when and how.
