Greetings! Found out about your forum because I was interested in finding the original 900+ page National Archive PDF of the Arneson v. TSR court case. I found the link to your forum at www.rpgpub.com/threads/the-arneson-vs-gygax-and-tsr-dossier.10432/I play mostly modern systems (like Pathfinder) and have only played a little old school D&D but want to play more. I am interested in the history of the game. Welcome to the forums. From the other thread everyone should know that he has a Youtube channel and talks about D&D. Channel is here The Rules Lawyer, wow, expect a little kidding about that name. I see he also links a Discord channel and a Patreon. As we skew older here, I am not sure how many use discord, although I know a few do.

Saw a post on Reddit in r/osr about the origins of OD&D. I've been playing since 1978, off and on, and prefer the old school OD&D form of play. Played 1e during college (1980-1986), tried a little 2e but mostly skipped it due to marriage, job, life, kids. Got back in as 3e started. Then tried 3e, 3.5, and Pathfinder due to group I was in wanting to play "latest & greatest". But when 4e came out, I said "Nope" and went back to 1e. At that time, North Texas RPG Con started and I was one of the original 50 at the con. Been going ever since. Now I run Swords & Wizardry Complete and house-rule the hell out of it. Will be running 3 games at NTRPG this June, all Borshak's Lair from an old Dungeoneer and using S&W rules. Y'all come and play! Welcome to The Ruins, balrog62! I'd definitely like to hear more about your S&W house rules. I got a copy of the hardback through some trading I did several years ago and I really enjoy it. Feel free to join a conversation or start a new one!

I found my way from Tenkar's Tavern YouTube. I prefer 1e AD&D, though I am interested in all editions (except 4e), and will borrow ideas from all for my home game. Welcome to The Ruins, discoemperor! We may focus on OD&D here but 1E AD&D is most definitely welcome!! In fact, I started with that when my uncle passed his books down to me. There is separate 1E section so feel free to contribute to it or join any conversations you wish.

Hi I am Cesare from Italy. I found this forum just googling around. I like to play Old School games like Labyrinth Lord and Strange Magic (Italian version was really big supported). Welcome to The Ruins, mazinkaesar! Oh cool, a member from Italy? That's really cool. Can you tell us more about Strange Magic?

Hi, I'm Bob. I found this forum in a reddit post. I played 5e for a while, now I dm DCC and play PF2e and am about to start a Basic Fantasy RPG game. I've also done some Ironsworn and The One Ring RPG.

[/quote]Welcome to our newest member dlbob! So how long have you been playing RPGs? I am not familiar with Ironsworn, what is it like? [/quote] Been playing since 2020. Ironsworn is pretty cool, it's a sort of low magic vikingish setting with pbta rules that can be played solo. The pdf is free and worth checking out.
