My family finally got me on the Internet about five years ago and my youngest grandson helped me find this place and helped me join, so pardon me if I do not post much. He said proboards will not let him join until he is 13, which is a few years from now. Welcome to The Ruins Tysonium ! Do you bring that level of ferocity to your gaming? The early Tyson, would be a guy I would want in the party. I am old enough to remember when boxing was on TV, now you have to pay to see boxing at home. I liked to watch the sluggers, but no one could match a prime Ali! Shame there is no way to match boxers from different times in their primes.

Old time gamer here, started with D&D in 1974 at the age of 28, made an easy switch from board games and cards. Looked at Chainmail, but mass battles really did not interest me that much. Looked at later versions of D&D, but meh, they did not do it for me. Not into the OSR, whatever it means this week, just like my original D&D, it suits me just fine. I have looked at other boards, but this seems to be the only one that is largely made up of people who started with the original D&D as teens, young adults and adults. I can't really relate to boards where most of the members weren't even born yet when I was playing D&D.
Nothing against youngsters, love teaching young ones to play, but I want a forum run by people I can relate to and this is it.

Thank you for those kind words, I like to think we are a great place to hang out.

I had to swim shallow oceans, climb short mountains, cross wet deserts, slog through dry swamps and tramp through barren forests, but I made it, I am here, I have arrived! Seriously, I am happy to be here. Welcome to The Ruins Barfog . Great to have you aboard, with that intro, do you have a story to tell us? At the moment, no, but I will eventually. Time is of the essence right now. I want to do something post-apocalyptic, so eventually in that area of the forum is where you will find me.

Hi everybody, I'm Uncle Monkey, at least that is what my 4 year old niece calls me. I was traumatized by 3E (6 hours to create a character and 4 hours to run a simple combat) and so I did not look at D&D again until my arm was twisted for a Delving Deeper game, which I loved. I am a player and not a DM, so my grasp of the rules is slim. I became interested in knowing more about how things began. After a few missteps and having a couple of places tell me I was not a good fit, I was (privately) directed here. I've lurked for about a week and I think I'm in the right place.

Welcome to The Ruins Uncle Monkey! A big thank you to whoever directed you here, you are indeed in the right place. Delving Deeper is one of the best of the clones, so that was a good start for you.

hengest I think the Admin Pete is working on an Index. Maybe that should be a work thread, where he posts the bare bones and then we all help fill out the descriptions. I think quite a few areas still need to have the description blurbs written.

Your not going to have any problems here, we are very open to new members I cannot imagine telling someone to take a hike if they wanted to talk about my niche hobby. That is very strange to me, but I am glad you found your way here.

Welcome to The Ruins fatdragontom! With your first post, I like the cut of your jib. We encourage thread necromancy, when you have something of value to add, rather than creating a new thread.

I was searching to see if an update of Greyharp's single volume had ever been done and that thread came up in the Google search.
