Hi all
#1Hi all, I just surfed onto this site while looking online for the author (Brennan "The Dark Paladin" Brooks) of an old AD&D netbook called "Tome of the Damned," which I discovered exists on this site. (I discovered the file I downloaded on an old Forgotten Realms Yahoo! group.)
Anyway, I decided to register and will be lurking around.
How long you have been gaming and if you DM?
I started gaming with the original AD&D 2E core books. I started off a huge Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms fan and soon became a fan of Dark Sun, Greyhawk, Planescape, and Spelljammer. I've DMed both 2E and 3E, mainly in my own campaign worlds...
Walk the Road
While I haven't DMed in a while, I do continue to create new material for my homebrewed worlds, mainly World of Kulan. I'd like to get back into gaming soon. However, Real LifeTM issues have prevented me from making a serious effort.
You can normally find me on two other gaming web sites, EN World and The Piazza. I've been a mainstay on EN World since it was Eric Noah's 3rd Edition News and Reviews although I'm not as addicted to it as I once was. The Piazza is a newer forum that recently went through some malware issues (it's fine now). I also have several RPG-based yahoo! groups that I own/moderate or that I am a member of.
What kind of RP games have you played...any favorites?
D&D is my favorite game. I prefer 3E to all the other editions, but I do have a fondness for 2E since it is where I started. Regardless, I own all the core rulebooks for 1E, 2E, and 3E as well as the Essentials line of products for 4E.
Other RPGs I am interested in: Alternity, d20 Modern, Earthdawn, Gamma World, Mutants & Masterminds, Pathfinder RPG, Shadowrun, and Traveller.
Cheers!

#3Ah... fresh meat... er I mean. Welcome. Drop off the cinnamon rolls on Muro's desk as you pass by the main office as Strolen is probably locked away in a cabinet somewhere breaking more code. -
Re: Hi all

Re: Hi all
#6Thanks all. I'll definitely be sticking around although I might just lurk for now. I definitely want to read some stuff here and get some different perspectives on my homebrewed material. -
Re: Hi all
#7Welcome!
Most of the stuff we post is compatible with classic western fantasy, so you'll have no shortage of material.
Once you feel at home, share with us your homebrews ;) -
Re: Hi all
#8We are all about different perspectives :up: -

#9Woo! Another old-school ADnD'er. My 18-step plan for world domination proceeds on schedule!
Welcome, Knightfall! (not to be confused with the assassin, Nightfall) -

I don't really consider myself a true old schooler. I believe old-school DnDers are those that began with OD&D and BECMI. I guess ADnDers that started with 1st Edition AD&D would fall into that category, for me, as well.
I guess the main reason is that when 3E came out, I immediately converted my homebrews. I didn't even blink. I will be a 3E grognard for many years to come.
I would be hard pressed to DM a 2E game ever again although I could see myself playing in a 2E (or 1E) game. I am much more likely to DM a BECMI game. (I just acquired a copy [on layaway] of the D&D Rules Cyclopedia.) I also prefer Castles & Crusades to AD&D. That is a game I would GM.
And, I think, I know the Nightfall you are referring to. -
