Hi there! I'm interested in playing OSR games, specifically retroclones and classic D&D. I'm likely to post at night (7:00 PM - 12:00 AM Pacific Time).

Welcome Aboard!

PbP is great in that timezones really don't matter much. Asynchronous posting allows for anyone across the world to play together. The pace might be a bit slower but it's a great way to play!

Lots of OSR interest around lately! Did you get to play during the original OSR era or are you newer to the genre?

I'm new to the genre. I was born in 2001, so I'm too young to have experienced it firsthand. :)
