Introduction

I started with the Moldvay Basic D&D box in 1983, but drifted away from the game when 3E took over. I DM an almost-weekly First Edition AD&D game with players I met through Meetup, but sometimes play other editions.

What do you look for in a D&D campaign? (Hack 'n Slash, intrigue, roleplay, etc.)

I'm a swashbuckler at heart. I like roleplaying (but not talkiness) and action (but not hack-n-slash). My ideal game has the tone of an Indiana Jones movie -- lots of action, but the characters have a motivation more developed than 'we want gold!

Additional Information

"Yes, I made Gary Gygax pose for a photo with me and my Dungeon Masters Guide. This seemed like a perfectly rational action at the time."

What Michael Bauser is saying about this Meetup Group

It's working for me. I've found a good group of players through Meetup!

    "Hi Michael! I was so excited to see you in this meet up group! I just moved to Trenton from Big Rapids and have been missing my D&D time. I have been looking for a group to play with. 2E, 3 & 3.5, I have the 4E books, but haven't played it yet. I have DM'd in the past but would prefer to play and have a great time. I would love to get together and see if we can get a game together. Thanks!"

    "I'm now signed up for the morning C&C session at U-Con. So if my job doesn't mess up my schedule that week, I finally get to use the Players Handbook that girl in the chainmail bikini made me buy 2 years ago!"

    "I e-mailed you about my Saturday afternoon 1E game, and you said Saturdays were bad for you. (It happens.) If your Saturdays free up and you're still looking for a game, though, feel free to send me a message."

    hi all

    "I run a First Edition AD&D game most Saturday afternoons. (We're averaging about 2.5 games/month right now). You should come to the Saturday morning meetup -- I'll be there, and maybe some of my players, too. We can talk details there."

    The last meetup

    "Hey, I got there at 10:55am and had a black, white, and red sign that said "Meetup." How much more visible do I have to be? You got there well after 11:30am. Paul and I were the only ones there at 11:42, as commemorated on Twitter...."
