I was introduced to D&D by playing Basic many moons ago. As a early teen we played a hybrid of Basic/1E. I didn't follow subsequent editions and stayed with B/X until I got married/starting having children.
Cue mandatory 10-year gaming hiatus ... only to return during the birth of the so-called OSR and the creation of Pathfinder as its own game. Jumped into Labyrinth Lord after checking out OSRIC, S&W, C&C, and BFRP. After 2 LL campaigns, Pathfinder was released and we started playing that.
2 years later I am still enjoying Pathfinder, but I have always missed the Labyrinth Lord game I was running.
Recently I have FINALLY obtained a copy of the Rules Cyclopedia, and it has got me all fired up again to play B/X. I will probably run a dedicated B/X campaign using the RC after my Call of Cthulu campaign wraps up.
Anyone else here play B/X edition D&D?
I grew up with it. I went back to it just a few years ago. And I played it with my kids. My 4-year-old son understood it just fine.
Yup! Love the B/X rules. My old high school group played a hodge-podge version of AD&D and B/X.
If you start a campaign I'd love to join. Just have to dust off the old rules that have sat in my closet for about, oh, 25 years!! :)
Yep, started with Black Box Basic in 1992. Loved it. Now into Labyrinth Lord.
I too have a fondness for the old days and still own the Cyclopedia. I would also love to join a campaign.
Hmm, this is encouraging!
Not sure I would do this as a PbP game yet, but perhaps Skype, if a mutually acceptable day/time could be arranged?
Is anyone interested in taking a peek at my campaign setting?

I'd love a peek!
My schedule probably prevents a skype game, however. :(
I'll keep an eye out in case you ever start a PbP!! 8^D
Id like a peek as well but again, id be unable to tale part via skype. PBP would be fine however.
Okay, here's what I have as the setting. Let's see how this shakes out! :)
Note that the references are for LL simply because that is the rules set currently available for B/X.
Let me know what you think.

Looks terrific! Nice job. Whetting my appetite for action. As stated before, will keep a hopeful eye out for an eventual PbP game.
I've started a blog discussing (amongst other things) Labyrinth Lord and converting material to those rules:
Is there an FAQ for doing a PhP? As I will be running this campaign with my gaming group in RL, I think running it PbP in parallel might be fun. I have no idea how to go about running a PbP game, tho.
IF you have any questions re: running a PbP, I'll be happy to help. I've been running PbP games on Paizo for 4 years. :)
Thanks, Fabes, will be hitting you up for knowledges soon! :)
First session was Sunday; character creation and first couple of encounters in one session! Woohoo!
Only one character died, too. :)
