Hello,
34 Yr. old busy professional & family guy trying to organize a regular weekly D&D game. Looking for mature folks with similar interests in getting a core D&D game going on Chicago's North side. I've dabbled in 3rd edition, but I would like to join a full-fledged 3e campaign to get the full feel for it. By 3e, I'm also open to d20/3rd party D&D, so long as it's really D&D. And I would do 2e as well. What I'm looking for is the TRUE D&D game, not some dressed-up deviant version or D&D with lasers. Role playing and adventure content (i.e. using your brain)would be favored over hack n' slash or D&D comedy hour. I suppose that everyone's got their own idea of what 'core D&D' really is, but so long as it's pretty mainstream I think I can handle it.
I keep thinking there are several folks like me on the North Side of the city who used to play D&D, loved the game, but are nervous about trying to get back into a game nowadays because they feel perhaps they're too old or too mature or that they'll be stuck in a room full of high-school kids. I'd like to join or build a game around people with real lives, real jobs, but a real wish to enjoy the cerebral stimulation and excitement that only live D&D can bring (take an active rather than passive role in your entertainment again!). Right now my availability is as follows: Sunday nights (5 - 10 PM) or Tuesday nights (6 - 10 PM). Location is critical for me, and I need a game which is in my vicinity (Wrigleyville, Lakeview, Roscoe Village, Bucktown, etc.). If you're wondering about the location requirement, let me know where you're at and we'll see about it. Suburbs, in general, are too far.
This can happen. I used this post on the WotC boards and gathered 8 serious gamers for a Sunday game. Trouble is, the city location we were targeting fell through and now they are enjoying a nice Sunday game up in Evanston which is too far for me. So here I am trying once again to build my perfect game in the city. I refuse to believe there aren't others like me out there. I think I can conjure up 2 - 3 other players if we find the right location. Reply to this post to help me get it started.
Thanks

) living in the Lincoln Park/Lakeside area. I haven't played regularly since starting grad school, but since I started hanging out on these boards, I've definitely been missing the game. Either Tuesday or Sunday night should work for me, although Sunday night is a little trickier.
