I am Mathias0077 I started playing D&D in 1981 with the basic red box set. I played regularly till the mid 90s with a group(all old school AD&D1E) and we just all kinda went our own way at one point so I haven't played in along time and don't anything about any edition after the first. Have been wanting to get back into and saw a video on youtube about this site. A fellow named Harrigan I believe. I think pbp sounds really interesting but I will surely need some guidance. Just looking for adventure gaming no sex or romance.

Hey! I started with the OG Red & Blue box back in the 80s too! If you're getting back into the hobby, PbP (especially on GamersPlane) is a great way to go! We have a variety of games going across a wide range of systems like most PbP sites but importantly, GamersPlane is also a great community of people. I highly recommend jumping on the DISCORD. We don't play over there but it's a great way to get to know the community and discuss a wide variety of topics.

I had a similar origin but made it up to 3rd edition before some friend introduced my to other games. But finding time and friends to game got tough so when I found PbP I was happy to join the community.

Welcome to the community, mathias0077! Glad that video didn't run you off, as this indeed is a great spot to learn, play, and run RPGs in the PbP format!

Welcome mathias0077. I also started with Red Box but in 1981. Played for a few years then not at all for seven or eight eight years, until I starting gaming hard in the 90s.

Welcome! Another Red box player here! I remember cribbing off my classmate's set before finally getting hold of one for myself. Hope you find some games here to play.

One-on-One games (Duets) can be pretty fast posting since you're not waiting on anyone but each other.

So do you know anyone running duets?

Behave bowl ;)

Welcome @Mathias0077. As we are scattered around the world, 1 post pr 24 hours is usually the fastest game pace you can find. I have seen games there the GM askes for players within a giving time zone to facilitate a even faster pace, but those are rare.

Those of us who crave a more than one post pr day, join multiple games. Personally I have found that 6-9 games is right for me. Other like @Qralloq is comfortable with GM'ing and participating in 18 games at once.

Welcome! You'll find a whole bunch of players with wildly varying posting rates! I think there are some who can keep up that pace.
