I’ve recently been scouring the net looking for players for an OD&D campaign I’m starting up in London (spaces open if anyone is interested…), and I was curious how many other people are running OD&D campaigns at the moment? How long have you been running; are there any funny stories?

(about 14 years now) we played for 10+ years. 3-4hrs per session; 5 sessions per week; 50 weeks per year. when are you starting. maybe i can get a transfer to london. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 3] Author : Richard Tongue Date : 10-16-03 02:27 PM Diaglo, you'd be welcome at my table anytime. I've having trouble finding players at the moment, but it looksl ike I'll have enough to get started. I'll be starting on the 1st of November, and running every other Saturday, if anyone is interested.

I managed to get to players-work mates to do a one off in & out adventure. The game went well and a month later they were asked to play another. The group has grown to six players and its been running for a few months now. We play 3 times a week in our lunch hour which really works well. A web site called www.RPGnow.com is an awsome spot for purchasing First Edition-It comes in PDF form-this is easily thrown on a CD. I managed to get the 3 Core First edt Books for under $20.00 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 5] Author : Geriatric Wizard Date : 10-17-03 03:50 AM Unfortunately I've just moved away from London.

Alas, Winnipeg is a long walk from London (or even Georgia for that matter). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 7] Author : dogstar Date : 10-17-03 10:01 AM Where abouts in London, I live in Reading, and have little to do on a Saturday -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 8] Author : Richard Tongue Date : 10-17-03 10:49 AM I'm in Isleworth - it should be easy to get to my house from Reading. The express train to London passes through Brentford station, which is a short bus ride from my house (I think there is a slower train that stops at Syon lane station, on stop up from Brentford - that's just a ten minute walk).

I used to live in London and have now moved to Ireland and am having the same problem. It's very hard to find a group to DM or play. I would loved to get involved but unfortunately my wife might get peeved off very quickly if I am nicking off to London every second weekend. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 10] Author : diaglo Date : 10-20-03 09:11 AM Thread Title : Re: Damn Originally posted by Malaug That's a real bother.

On your "OD&DITIES" website you erroneously refer to the Basic, etc, rules as "Original D&D". So what are we talking about here in this thread; Basic, or original D&D? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 18] Author : Lost_and_Damned Date : 11-02-03 08:24 AM they are one and the same in essence Original D&D constisted of a single box set, which later was broadened into the basic set and expert set, then even later, into the five sets, which even later into one big cylopidia (sp?)...... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 19] Author : Solaris Date : 11-02-03 01:20 PM -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Downloaded from Wizards Community (http://forums.gleemax.com) at 05-10-08 08:20 AM.
