The Role-Playing Game Historical Society is dedicated to bringing together role-players who share an interest in RPG titles that date back to the beginning of the hobby. It's primary purpose is to gather together gamers seeking to play "old school" or "classic" role-playing games and to create a renewed interest in those games and their various retro-clones. Anyone with a love of older role-playing games such as Original or Basic Dungeons & Dragons, Gamma World, Traveller, or Call of Cthulhu, and is looking to find old-school gamers to play with, might find what they're looking for in the Role-Playing Game Historical Society.

Michael Curtis, author of The Dungeon Alphabet and Stonehell Dungeon, plans on running a Classic D&D / Labyrinth Lord (retro-clone of Classic D&D) campaign named The Eldritch Frontier. I have already signed up as a player along with another friend, but we are still looking for more players. Here's additional info from the game flyer: Veteran referee seeks to start up a classic “sandbox style” campaign of Dungeons & Dragons using the Basic D&D rules (a.k.a. B/X, “Red Box,” or Labyrinth Lord). Players will create 1st level adventurers beginning their careers on the edge of the Eldritch Frontier, a vast expanse of wilderness teeming with dungeons, monsters, treasure, and magic. The Eldritch Frontier is an old school D&D hex and dungeon crawl, and the players will be free to choose their own paths to fame, power, and riches—provided they’re lucky and smart enough to survive! The Eldritch Frontier will also turn back the clock on the history of D&D and present a “what if?” scenario of how the game might have developed if left solely in the hands of gamers. Although Basic D&D will be used as the rule set for the campaign, further material will be taken from periodicals and supplements dating from the early years of the hobby, as well as new additions created by the players and referee through actual play. Because of this, The Eldritch Frontier is best suited for those with open minds and laid-back attitudes. Rule lawyer-types might find themselves frustrated, but creative players will have the opportunity make an indelible mark on the campaign world and the referee’s house rules. Game sessions will be held at Brothers Grim on either a weekday evening or Sunday afternoons depending on player availability. Regular sessions of The Eldritch Frontier will start once three or more players have committed, with an eye on adding additional players as interest grows. The next meetup is this Sunday 2/21 @noon @Brother Grim Games (Selden, NY).Please RSVP at The Role-Playing Game Historical Society: www.meetup.com/TRPGHS/or you can email Michael Curtis at poleandrope[at]gmail[dot]com. Join the Old-School Renaissance!
