Old enough to have played First edition DnD. Now im grown up (sort of) I thought it would be fun to play DnD again. Sadly, my painted lead minatures and books were left with my mate in Australia (I wished I brought the with me to the UK). However I have recently bought a PG MM and DMG and a few modules from fleabay for the nostalgia.
I like to focus on the combat / adventure / strategy elements of the game and spending an hour discussing beer types and wenches at the tavern isn't my thing. That said, I'm happy to ensure my character acts in a way that suits the character and his/her background, just without the sound effects.
I am a DM in the Bright Dawn Westmarches (pm me if you want a link). My style is fairly relaxed however I like to have my creatures to be of appropriate intelligence to give the players a challenge.
I hope that gives you a flavor of my style and experience....See you at the game.
Cheers Rich.
