Does anybody here play D&D?

[Taem]

Anyways... since there are already 4 of us showing interest in this, should we start moving forward with it? All we really need to decide on would be the meeting time, communication software to be used, and who the DM will be, with DM being the biggie. I've never DMed before but I'm willing to try just about anything (within reason); right now, the off-the-top-of-my-head time where I don't have anything to do and don't foresee myself planning anything for is Saturday around 8 or 9 PM EST; my preferred chat method is AIM since that's what I'm already familiar with, but if there's a command/bot for IRC that will do dice rolling, that's easily doable.

I wouldn't feel comfortable DM'ing without knowing the system fully yet. That would be like riding a bike blindfolded! Here's what I gather so far;

SYSTEM: AD&D 2nd Edition (with a mix of house rules/net books)
MEDIUM: AIM, ICQ, MSN IM, (Trillian for all these plus more); I prefer MSN IM personally
TIME: For me, would have to be after 8:00-PM (UTC/GMT -8 hours : Pacific Daylight Time)

I would also like to use dice rollers that everyone can see. The DM can still always roll his own "secret" rolls. This is just my opinion however, and I feel that the DM should get to pick the medium and rather he/she would like to use dice or not.
