Does anybody here play D&D?

[Wyrm]

I am not familiar with the 2nd Ed. ruleset as I only started to RP with 3rd Ed.

Same here, I'm willing to learn a new system, but the only one I've had actual experience with in an RP situation is 3e.

The time that owuld work for me would also be after 8:00PM PST because that is after 5:00 EST

Was that backwards or did you really mean after 8 PST (meaning 11 EST)? Starting at 11 EST wouldn't be a problem for me, but I'd just like to make sure since 5 PST is 8 EST and I was a little confused.

Tuesday and Thursday nights would be better

Of those 2, Thursday would be better for me, RB uses Tuesday nights for a team variant in Guild Wars so I'm already committed then. We usually end around 11:30 PM EST.

MEDIUM: AIM, ICQ, MSN IM, (Trillian for all these plus more); I prefer MSN IM personally

I've also got Trillian, but only have AIM and IRC hooked up to it, and to be honest I'd really rather not use MSN, so maybe IRC is the way to go.

Most people might not realize that they have been exposed to 2nd Ed ADnD rules through Baldur's Gate 1 & 2

Heh, I played about 5 min of BG1, so I don't think that counts somehow. Is it just me or do pnp rules for combat not really transfer over to video games well? RPing and being in a couple fights per week (game time) isn't quite the same as the constant combat you're exposed to in a game.
