Hey all, sorry for the late post. I am often guilty of relying on the email post notifications. That is something I definitely need to work on.

You sure made me laugh, BBQD :-) You sure did!
I love playing paranoid characters. I am glad the fairy tale reference made you laugh. I figured their would had to have been some Kartakan bard's tale equivalent that he could have been referencing.

Yeah, Greg was one of the original players in what allegedly was the first gaming group ever, in the 1970s, back in Dave Arneson's basement.

He has been playing with me and later with Steve since 2005 now, first in "The Grim Winter", my fairly-known Blackmoor PbP, and now in Andreas' Rahotep game.

You can check Greg's website here:

http://web.tampabay.rr.com/gsvenson/svenny.html

It contains some very cool stuff about first-generation D&D. :)

If you have other questions, best contact him directly, since Greg is an excellent and very friendly person, and surely won't bother to share a few details.

Yours,

Rafe

Well, to tell the truth, it would actually be an honour to play with your group. Problems is, I don't know the rules, I don't really feel like learning them thoroughly and I wouldn't be able to make a character. If there were one pre-rolled or something such, and if the frequency of posting were something like what I'm used to here, I might yet join.

Is it OD&D you are playing? Or AD&D 1st Ed?

AD&D 1e. It's not really that different. Maybe Steve can explain the differences better than I can... :)

Post frequency like here & prerolled chars, so if you want to jump in, no prob.
