Hello There

Hi there--zacharythefirst here, long-time lurker, first-time poster. Just wanted to say hello to everyone and I'll see you around the boards. I'm big into games with a "classic" RPG feel, games that don't make you buy $100 worth of material to actually play, and any game that's just plain fun.

For those thus inclined, you can also check out my site at http://rpgblog.typepad.com

See you around!

Hail and Well Met!

I am Zakath, faithful follower of the great Cthulu. I have been leading campaigns across the greyhawk and Faerun worlds for almost twenty years. I was introduced to this site by my good friend and fellow brother in Cthulu's name James Stoves. I hope to be posting more as the time goes by, but I at least thought to stop in and say hi.

By the way if there are any other players in the Lansford, Pennsylvania are who are looking for a group, post me.

Let the Madness Reign!!!!

Hello. I started gaming in 1996. I haven't played in two years. Can't get into computer and/or online RPG's. It's strictly D&D/FR with books and character sheets for me. Are there any gamers in Tampa/St. Pete?

Hi

My name is Shamus Nicholson, and I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for 21 years. I first got into the game when my cousin, who was visiting, brought the D&D Basic Set. I've been collecting most of the books ever since.

There's a forum where you can go post/search for gamers in your area. In an area like that, there's gotta be some there who game!

Or check your local gaming/hobby shops.

Hello deepthoughts1126, GrayLinnorm, Krom, Soviless, Seekerofskill, doswelk, cozard99
and the lurkers just signing up.

This is an addictive website of message boards and discussion of D&D and some other d20 games.
Its like sitting arond with your friends BSing about old games. Or talking over upcoming plans in your current ones. There is an endless stream of ideas and thought provoking suggestions for people activily playing and can provide entertainment and a quick fix to those without regular games.

not really. More like a colassal time sucking device.
There are Play -by-Post games in one of the forums, but I would suggest you lurk there(read without posting) for a while before signing up, Its a pretty heavy time comitment to join a game.

to Seekerofskill: the Archeive section has a number of threads called Q&A with Gary Gygax
and there is a current version somewhere as well.
Monte Cook posts infreqently as well and the writers of XP press are here alot. it is also a good bet that is someone has a link in their signature that allows you to buy a book then they are the writer/publisher of said book.
hope this helps : )
