With the large number of people in eGO and those handful of non-eGOs who browse the forums, I'd assume there'd have to be SOMEBODY who actually enjoys D&D, along with myself, so I was thinking of looking up a few people for a campaign (3.0/3.5e perferred). My brother and I both play on occassion, usually over YIM with a few of his friends, but neither of us have any real DMing expirience- and thanks to the rather hectic schedules of his cohorts and my own, we haven't really gotten too far without someone dropping out (usually me, though I'm clear for the holidays).
Now, despite eGO's size, I come to it for another reason: Maturity and all that it entails. I've played D&D once or twice with a few of my friends IRL, and while they're great fun and I did in fact have fun, they don't quite do things up to moral-standard and that bothered me on multiple occassions. (Drug references, explicit sexual comments constantly, etc.) And while I'm not saying "don't have fun, don't joke around out-of-character, you always have to be serious when playing," I just like a bit of a higher standard.
With the holidays approaching fast, I know people should be free-er, and I'm hankerin' to put my new "Complete Warrior" book to the test. Dervishes look pretty.
And for those of you who'd like to learn how to play, you don't need the books: Every piece of info you'll ever need is in the D&D SRD, and you'll have me and possibly more people there to help explain the process. (I also have the core books in .pdf format, and even though the D&D SRD is just literally those books extracted to database format, I'm not sure if it's legal to distribute them.)
If possible, thanks to an online dice-roller, this could all be done quite easily through Steamchat and various scribblings/drawings in paint for map reference.
