General Hello (new to the board)
Hi all,
I've recently registered after lurking on the site for quite some time and wanted to say hello to everybody.
I find the work that you're doing with OSRIC to be outstanding, and I appreciate the level of thoughtful discussion that takes place here; the 'signal to noise' ratio is high!
I am hopefully going to be starting up a campaign again soon; another person I met locally from DF is discussing it with me right now. If that happens, I'll try to post some details and bounce ideas off of you since I don't think he's wandered this way yet.
Otherwise, I tend not to post much, as I work in a remote location during the week with no computer access. By the time I return home and read through threads started in my absence, what would be my reply has often already been espoused by another - and I am not a fan of the '+1' response.
Thanks again for creating and maintaining this great site!

Welcome to Knights & Knaves and best of luck starting up your campaign!
[i]It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one’s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.[/i]

Greetings!
Welcome to our little corner of the Intrawebz!
Feel free to post any questions you may have about anything Classic/Advanced D&D-ish, and after you reach 1000 posts, I get to drain you of all your hit points!
Some posters here are already desiccated husks of RPGers after I got done with them!

Thanks for the hearty welcome, everyone. I'll stop back by the site again next week when I'm close to a computer again...

Ahh, 'whipping dance of the dead' anyone? Welcome, Eye of the Beholder, look forward to hearing your contributions, and enjoy the beauty of Agolei!
I think over again my small adventures. My fears, those small ones that seemed so big, for all the vital things I had to get and to reach, and yet, there is only one great thing, the only thing, to live to see the great day that dawns, and the light that fills the world. - Old Inuit Song
“Superstitions are religious forms surviving the loss of ideas. Some truth no longer known or a truth which has changed its aspect is the origin and explanation of all. The name from the Latin, superstes, signfies that which survives, they are the dead remnants of old knowledge or opinion” - Eliphas Levi (138 The History of Magic).
“Let no one wake a man brusquely for it is a matter difficult of cure if the soul find not its way back to him”, the Upanishads of ancient India ( 58 Our Oriental Heritage, Durant).
"Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that's what makes it so boring" – Edward Gorey.
"The bright day is done and we are for the dark" - Shakespeare
"No lamp burns till morning" - Persian proverb.
“The living close the eyes of the dead, but it is the dead that open the eyes of the living”— Old Slavic saying.
'The best place to hide a light is in the sun' – old Arab proverb.
'To thee, thou wedding-guest!
He prayeth well who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
He prayeth best who loveth best,
All things both great and small:
For the dear God, who loveth us,
He made and loveth all' - Samuel Taylor Coleridge (VII Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner).
