D&D like it’s '83.
As always, drop me a line if interested.
And … full.

I know you have enough regulars that these fill up immediately so it is never relevant but still having some context for people that don’t know what is going would probably be helpful 
Pure D&D 1st Edition untainted by Errata
It’s … D&D like it’s '83. That’s really all it is. I can post an FAQ or something when I have a minute, but that’s what it boils down to. It’s basically what the Stranger Things kids play. (Do we also deal with conspiracies and portals to alternate dimensions and make videos with Weezer? Maybe!)
And if you want to join us sometime, just shoot me a message!
(These things don’t always fill instantly. Today was a bit of a timing coincidence.)
Well, almost. We play a hybrid of 1st edition and Basic, because ain’t nobody got time for weapon speed factors. Nobody plays or played AD&D RAW, and that includes Gygax.
We take the chassis of Basic and add all the cool extras from AD&D. Or we play AD&D and replace all the annoying bits with stuff from Basic. Depends on your point of viow. It’s what a lot of people did at the time.
Pure D&D 1st Edition untainted by Errata but with a healthy dose of Homebrew
jokes aside
I think D&D like it’s '83 and shoot me a message
are a bit minimalistic in their explanation, but someone who would be interested could ask anytime anyway
First hit’s free! :b
OK, I’ll try again. “D&D1 HMU K THX!”
Crud, that was even shorter. Maybe if I add an emoticon or two …

List of treasures we still have to deal with
Our esteemed chronicler could never get in between the conversation. We’ll always listen/read in awe as someone actually manages to get some order in our shenanigans.
It would be quite useful for spells, descriptions and so on… but for calculation THAC0, not really
(not because the Cyclopedia is wrong, but because still nobody understand the THAC0 calculation.
So just roll your d20 and let your friendly DM to evaluate)
Awesome stuff. A lot of people consider that Cyclopedia the best D&D rulebook ever.
The backbone of our game is pretty much the same (technically it’s Moldvay Basic, more or less), but the details (classes, spells …) are taken from AD&D.
On the other hand, rulebooks aren’t required for players in this game. I don’t think any of the players have any.
Cheers!
