Thank you for your interest. You're new so I don't know how consistent you'll be but once I do start I will expect every player to be active. If I get someone else interested then I will see if its enough to start some threads about it.
I will most likely be going with the [Original] Dungeons & Dragons Rules which are different from the regular Dungeons & Dragons or Advance Dungeons & Dragons that you know now. Combat and many of the attributes are simplified.
When you say "Original" Is that the basic set you're talking about or earlier versions from two threads I just added?
I was thinking of going further back with this one: Dungeons & Dragons: "Men & Magic" (Good post by the way), but I don't know I may go with the red box set because that has rules for more advanced characters and more people might know about it.
