BECMI - an early D&D rules set

An early version of D&D, appearing just before/concurrently with AD&D. Have been away from RPOL for a few years due to family issues. Looking to be a trifle more detailed than an index card PC sheet. I have several of the Gazetteers, but need not be tied to Mystara. Open to adventure types PCs are interested in. BECMI books available on drivethrurpg as PDFs. Have never played it, but have taken copious notes. Any interest ??

I'm interested, I remember seeing your name. I'd be open for Traveller too, seeing you're a cat man Aslan! I just lost my GM in 6 Traveller games, Starmaster passed away a few weeks ago.
I like all of the originals, AD&D, D&D, Rules Cyclopedia, etc. systems.

Love some Moldvay Basic/Expert, and BECMI is a retooling of that set, so I'd be interested.

I'm interested. I started with the Mentzer Red Box, but my DM never played it properly, and my understanding was based too much on Nintendo RPGs, where it wasn't much about avoiding fights, in general. Or, maybe I didn't understand those either.

I'm up for RAW as possible, at least as long as there's an easy way to bring in new PCs if the dice go bad.

I have B/X, but RECMI provides a wider background, if you will. Letting this hang for a few days to see what's happening.

BECMI is not 5th edition, so it does flow differently. New PCs should not be a problem at all. Or if a PC doesn't work out, a replacement is always possible too. Lets see what happens over the next few days ...

I'm another one of those kids who started out with that red Mentzer Basic Set, way back in '84. I'm always up for a BECMI game!

Everyone, the game site is posted. Search for BECMI. It is also under: Dungeons & Dragons-BECMI for the game type.
