This is an interest check only.

I have been running a small, low level, game in 2e. Just to remember how. I've made all the classic mistakes, done all the reading, and I want to keep moving forward. When this game ends, I would like to start a bigger, longer, campaign. But I want to know if anyone cares first.

If I put this all together (assuming I do it well) will I have trouble finding players? If I lose one or two, which seems inevitable, will I be able to replace them?

Am I too late? Or just in time for some retro nostalgia movement?

OSR games regularly get filled on Gamersplane, so I imagine you'll have plenty of takers. I think there are some ongoing 2e games this very moment.

I would like to move The Skald into the bigger longer campaign. Maybe we will actually leave the Inn this time?

a whole world of doors to try to open....

Micah can be my torchbearer, if he doesn't get beaten to death by an unusually stout door first, or has a fear induced heart attack at the sight of something more ferocious than a goblin.

Interested. Everyone needs a good rogue.

I'd play. . . double or triple if you go into Al Qadim or Planescape or Dark Sun territory.

I'm in. Play by post only, I have a very family oriented schedule. I could be open to play one week and not available the next on that same day, thus the PBP.

Ad&d is just a system, its the story that interest me. If Planescape was on the table, then i would be keen.

This will be a Forgotten Realms campaign with an opportunity for SpellJamming if things go well.

this is the nature of PbP, and I have an idea for this game that may help
stay tuned

I’d be interested in some old school AD&D goodness as well.
Nov 12, 2025 9:26 pm
Yes, I would be interested in 1ed/2ed. Thanks!

I am running a few games already on South Marches discord. One of them is Keep on the Borderlands using OSRIC 2.0, the second one is a one shot I wrote using Tales of Argosa, and one on this site using Swords and Wizardry complete revised. I'm in a Darksun campaign and I am loving it. AD&D 2e is great. I'm down with it.

Stating my goal here for the campaign.

At some point, I would like to subdue and sell a dragon.

No one I know has ever done so besides my home group.

In PbP this will be the same challenge on man mode.

Edit:

"Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make."

Forgotten Realms campaign is fine. Makes a nice standard with THE system. I'm excited.
