I just recently joined the board after experiencing an intense re-interest in D&D and wanting to get back to the fundamentals of what made the game so compelling to me when I was younger. And what better way to do that than with OD&D! I recently downloaded the PDFs from RPGNow, and I'd like to try things out old school. To date I've yet to play the brown book edition, but I'll keep you posted!
I got into D&D after I'd seen kids play at school, and I remember making up my own "Dungeon Game" without really knowing anything about how to actually play. Having seen some of the maps, I thought the squares in the dungeons were like tiles in a board game and consequently I had people roll a 6-side die to move their character through the dungeon. I started playing "real" D&D when I was ten years old after I got the Moldvay basic set for Christmas.
From there I ended up playing AD&D 1E quite a bit (without really knowing what I was doing). Since then I've played a variety of games including: Top Secret, Gamma World, AD&D 2E, Paranoia, Traveler, Call of Cthulhu, Cyberpunk, Mekton, Vampire the Masquerade, Amber, Marvel Super Heroes, Basic Roleplaying (the Chaosium system), D&D 3E, and recently I've been running a Pendragon campaign.
I'm also interested in rpg game design, design theory, and the ways in which this hobby of ours can help promote creative and intellectual growth. A lot of the games coming out of the Indie Rpg movement have been particularly inspiring to me of late.
That's All For Me
