Hi All,

I'm new to Nottingham and am looking to run an old-school AD&D session either Sun. July 14 or Sat. July 13. I've been working on a proper campaign world for a few months now, mostly drawing on some knowledge I've gotten from my work on politics and religion in medieval Europe (I teach History for a living). I'm looking for some mature gamers who like a challenge--this isn't Tomb of Horrors, where _everyone_ dies, but it's no stroll in the park either. I've already got one hardy volunteer (very experienced, and a riot on the dice), but could use a few more players to fill out the party for the first adventure and, if things go well, beyond. I can promise a good challenge, an interesting world, and some quite colourful NPC's (including Dun, the world's filthiest swamp-Ranger, and his scabrous goat companion, You Bastard). Newbies to AD&D are welcome. Power-gamers and rules-lawyers should probably look elsewhere :-)

The title of the first adventure is "Family Values."

Any takers?

Quick update: we've got two players on board now. 2-3 more would be ideal. Don't be shy . . .

I should add that this will start as a one-off, but, if things go well and the players are willing, can become a monthly game. I spend a lot of time on each adventure, so weekly would be a bit hard to manage.

Where are you going to be running this? I can't play, mainly due to distance as I am Leicester based, but it would be great to see this one take off and details like venue, timing etc., often help to pique interest of potential players.

Hi Len,

I'm running this out out of my flat in the Nottingham Arboretum district, which is 3 tram stops or a 10min. walk from City Centre. I think we'll start early afternoon on Sunday, July 14. I don't want to set the next day/time until I know who is on board.

Hello Alex!

I was wondering if you're still in a search for adventurers.

I've got a bit over 10 years of experience playing and DMing in Warhammer, Earthdown, Neuroshima and D&D (although the last one I only touched on). By your first post I judge that we have similar approach to RPGs, I also don't like hack'n'slash, but like to immerse myself in the story and love role-playing the character. Before you start crying the tears of joy, that you have found your missing piece of the puzzle, I need to admit that I have never had a chance of playing pen and paper RPGs in language other than Polish, so certain barrier may arise and I want you to know about it. I understand that as a DM you might not wish to face an obstacle like that - I don't know if I'd be up for having a foreigner in my game, so if you decide it's too much to take on, I will understand and no hard feelings will be had. I'm sure I'm up for at least giving it a go though, and who knows where the paths of Forgotten Realms will lead.

Have a great day

Konrad
