Greetings from Asheville, NC!

Allow myself to introduce....myself.

I'm basically a newbie for all intents and purposes. I played, very casually, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons back when I was in high school. I have recently been remembering how much fun I used to have playing D&D and hanging out with friends. I have gotten a small itch to play again and begun looking into it. I ran across the site and lurked for a little while, then decided to register and post.....what I am sure will be horribly elementary questions that will get laughed at.

That's pretty much it. Anyone need a body for a D&D campaign?

Cheers,
Impalla

Well, after serious tactical fighting against my ISP, i was able to log on again. It seems that ENworlds ISP hates Ip-Adresses beginning with 77.xx, and i had one of those for over a year after i registered. Oh well, all i can hope is that i keep my current IP for a couple of days. I like posting on ENworld.

Long time lurker, but never posted before, so I thought I would start by just saying Hi to everyone!

Great community here!

Well, after being a member for some time now, I figure that now's as good a time as any to say hi and post.

Hello, all!

This is my first time posting on any thread, any board, anywhere. Wow, this is exciting. I'm one of those 40-year old 1st Edition players. Back in the late 70's-mid 80's I played AD&D with my high school chums in Washington state, back when TSR was in Wisconsin. I was pulled away from RPGs about 20 years ago (you know...finding a job, finding a home, ADULTHOOD! Ugh.) I moved to California about the same time WOtC bought D&D. A few years back a friend introduced me to the Star Wars d20 RPG. As I went through endless Wookie and Rodian characters I said how I liked the new, streamlined rules set. When he explained the SRD and such, I got hooked on D&D again.

It's good to be back.

Being raised in Washington state (Visit Washington, the Evergreen State, It'll make you happy!) I was always partial to Druids and Rangers. Race-wise, I always liked Dwarves. Physically I'm one of those six-foot tall, hairy, barrel-chested guys anyway. My old chums called me "The World's Tallest Dwarf".

I've always enjoyed being DM, and my games were usually light-hearted (at the Discoteque of Doom, the Half-Orc bass player gives you a secret message...), but I also love when someone else will handle THE WHOLE FREAKING WORLD so I can just be a character.

I think I will be happy on these boards

Hoorah! Always nice to see a fellow 1970's first edition beginner around here. YOu will find many of us. A good and hearty welcome to you.

Just wanted to drop by to say hello. I've been gaming since I was 10 years old (back in 81). I was originally tuned into DnD 1st edition, but eventually learned other systems. A good friend of mine suggested I check this site out, so here I am.
