Out-of-character (OOC) chat
I detest the surfeit of provincial laughter. More to come...
Re: Out-of-character (OOC) chat
Moldvay Basic?!? MOLDVAY BASIC!?! I HATE Moldvay Basic!

Err, Greyarea? Moldvay is the one you like. You didn’t like Mentzer.
<pauses. Looks sheepish. Picks up chair and sits, pretending that nothing just happened>
So, we rolling up characters then?

Yes, Paul. After your time out, and when you think you're re ready to join us, you may roll up a character. Tom, could I trouble you to supervise Paul's dice rolls? Those d4s can be deadly in unstable hands.

Poking fun. As the silliness states, I never really liked Mentzer. (Or, more accurately, prefer Moldvay/Cook and Holmes)

Re: Out-of-character (OOC) chat
I like 'em both for different reasons. I wanted the Moldvay set, but Mentzer was the only set in the store when I got started on my own. Mentzer was a grear learning tool. For this game I chose the Moldvay B/X rules because they're easier to refer back to, and I suspect they have greater appeal to most old-school players.
But I won't lie. I own both B/X and BECMI (minus the I) rules in PDF, along with the core AD&D rule books, and will use any and all of them if needed. In fact, I consulted the DMG when deciding how many MU spells to give out at first level. Both B/X and BECMI are too stingy on that front.

I'm sure we'll be talking...
Do you have a particular online die-roller you want us to use?
