Portland Roleplaying Games (RPGs) Meetup Group

A Group for First Edition Dungeons & Dragons Enthusiasts, playing Modules from The Old Days with a Homebrew Twist.
This Group will challenge your Creativity and Imagination by presenting D & D as it was meant to be - a magical adventure where Imagination and Dice control your Character's Fate more than mere Rules.

I hope to be your host for these Adventures, but allow me to introduce myself first:
My name is Amon Strange and I was born the same year DnD was created by Gary Gygax.
I found DnD in my High School years and enjoyed every game and Every Friendship it led me to.
I fell out of RPG's for a long time, but got back into it with a wonderful group of people. Unfortunately, enough time had passed so that now the Edition of choice was Fifth.
I DESPISE 5th EDITION AND REFUSE TO PLAY IT.
So now I'm here, trying to find a Party of First Edition (Orange Spine) to work our way through the pile of First Edition Modules I own (I'm not good enough to design my own Adventures - yet).
I have everything to get you started EXCEPT dice and a pencil (character sheets, books, screens etc).
If we can play at my House, I can Guarantee a free lunch (homemade pizza + salad, most likely), If no one is comfortable with that up front, I'm sure we can meet at Gongaii Games or North Portland Game Store (all depending on distance for everyone).

I have a choice of Campaigns for our first Adventures and you all get to vote on it:
The Temple of Elemental Evil (I want this one)
OR
The Desert Of Desolation.
I want to express that I want to start this campaign AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR 2027, but I want to meet with everyone personally before we get to gaming (and maybe have a little get-together so we all jive).

I truly hope that there are at least 4-7 People out there that want to still play First Edition AD&D and making some excellent Gaming Friends.
NOTE: If you are interested and we meet, we play and have a good RPG time, this COULD lead to other Campaigns like Star Wars, ShadowRun, Gamma World, Deathwatch, Marvel/DC Super Heroes (two different games) or even Warhammer 40K (TTRPG).

Hope to hear from some Future Friends!
-Mr. Strange
