The Birmingham Area Dungeons & Dragons Meetup Group

"THANKS, Terry, for the following news: Weekend in the Yeomanry VII ( strictly a gaming convention, I am told ) June 6 - 8, 2008 Birmingham, AL, USA Join us for a weekend of Living Greyhawk festivities..."

"Hi Terry -- Got it just fine, thanks. Been a busy week at work, but I will email you back soon as well!"

"Hi Kyle, Please verify that you got my email to your other email address. I need to send you something that won't fit in one of these shout messages. Thanks..... Terry "

"You're in! You're our fifth player so far, along with Clay, Daniel, Shaun, and Steven (all players from my older Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms campaigns). Please shoot me an email to KCrider@DragonHall.com and I will add you to our email list. Our first game is tentatively set for Friday, June 6, 6:30-Midnight at my home in Helena. I will send directions by email. Thanks for the interest!"

"Hi Kyle, I believe you wrote the following message: * I'm planning to give 4.0 a whirl with a campaign to start just as soon as I have the 4.0 materials in-hand. I plan to run from my home in Helena, once or twice a month (in addition to a 3.5/D20 campaign I plan to run simultaneously). Some of my existing campaign players have already signed on, but I have a few more slots available as well. Let me know if you are interesting in a 4.0 game in the Helena area! * Count me in if you have room"

"Sean Patrick Fannon with Shaintar: Immortal Legends"

"I just discovered the RPG Bomb community site; it's like a dedicated MySpace/Facebook site for RPG fans. What are your favorite RPG community sites and MySpace/Facebook RPG apps/groups?"

"Hi Levan, I am a big first edition fan. I can DM in First Edition and play in First Edition. I have briefly played 2 games in 3.5, but I don't know very much about it.....not that I couldn't learn......lol. Since I don't know much about 3.5, it might be better for me to learn 4.0 or so.......whatever. But, I would like to play or DM some First Edition, preferably, if possible.....heck I might could play some of your higher edition and DM in First for your group..... Terry "

"Hi Levan, You posted this message: * I am looking to start a new group to meet every other weekend. I have three players and I am experienced DM but wish to find a game master to share the load with. Hope to meet at Legion or find another good location. Any one interested drop me a line. Levan Foster * If you are still interested in a player and a DM, I might be your candidate. What Edition of D&D do you want to play? Look forward to meeting you on Saturday. Terry Birmingham"

"Looking for non-D&D games or players? Please feel free to post any non-D&D games/wanted here!"

"Are you planning to run an original D&D/AD&D (1st edition, including Basic D&D) game, or are you looking to play in one? Post your original D&D/AD&D announcements and wants here!"

"Are you planning to run a D&D v2.0 game, or are you looking to play in one? Post your v2.0 announcements and wants here!"

"Are you planning to run a D&D v3.0/3.5 game, or are you looking to play in one? Post your v3.x announcements and wants here!"

"Are you planning to run a D&D v4.0 game, or are you looking to play in one? Post your v4.0 announcements and wants here!"

"Sorry for the delay! To answer your questions... Meetup serves to: 1. Help gamers meet other gamers 2. Help gamers locate games 3. Learn about fantasy worlds & topics 4. Have FUN! We now have over 100 members, and I believe every version of D&D (and quite a few other game systems) are currently in-play. I'll send you an email with more details, as these shouts are character-limited. Other folks, feel free to respond as well -- let Terry know what games you're running!"

"I have finished finals and am now looking for a gaming group, perferably to meet either Friday nights or Saturday nights. I can run D&D 3.5 or earlier."

"Thanks Kyle, I appreciate the welcome. I am looking for a first edition campaign that I could join ( both play and maybe even do a little DMing in myself ). What kind of campaigns are running right now in this group? Do they have individual names and what versions are going on? What goes on at the meetings? What can I expect? Are these meetings designed to mostly let people meet each other or what? Thanks..... Terry "

"Hi Terry. Hope to see you at the Meetup! You'll find other 1st Ed. fans among our members. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions."

"Hi. I am a big First Edition fan. My favorite classes to play are Magic User, Cleric, and Monk....probably in that order. I used to play lots of D & D as a kid, but have not played too much lately. Attended Omega Con, sort of got back into gaming"

"Well folks, May is looking like it should be a really cool meet-up. Mark Swafford (our newest group member as I'm typing this--go give him a shout!) will be in attendance representing Talisman Studios...."

"Hey Mark! Looking forward to seeing you guys in May!"

"Hello there! I'm Mark Swafford. I'm the Community Liason for Talisman Studios and the Gaming Director for ConNooga. I've been a gamer for twenty-some odd years now but I've been a geek way longer that. Believe that!"

"Another D&D/RPG pioneer has left us... Robert Bledsaw, founder of Judges Guild, creator of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy, died on the morning of April 19 in Decatur, Illinois. Updates are being posted..."

"We play every Sunday from Noon-until at Legions in Hoover. We currently have 8 players ranging from newbs to experienced. Looking for about 4 more. Current level of play is 3rd.... If interested email..."

"I was just emailed by Greg Glidden the Gaming Coordinator for PlayOnCon and I will be providing D&D and RPGA events for their convention July 3-6, 2008. I need 3 other good DMs. Anyone interested post..."
