Note: This was from a previous attempt at a campaign. It's just included here for general interest, and what follows does not necessarily apply to the current campaign.
Session Length: 4 hours. We begin with 1/2 an hour General Discussion, and, end with a 1/2 an hour General Discussion. So, actual play time will be 3 hours.
Basically, this will be a 4 year campaign.
Player Requirements: Skype connection & basic proficiency in English. All are welcome.
General Discussion: Again, the sessions begins and ends with 1/2 an hour of GD. This gives people an opportunity to socialize. Also, although it's not my thing, it's openly allowed to share marijuana on Skype, if that's your thing. (Me, I just like my black coffee, and, now and again, a bit of brandy, St. Remy. Stand up for religious freedom, I say. Anyway, yes, the general idea is to socialize and communicate, to 'warm up' for 1/2 an hour.
Game: Based on 1e. I hope that all of my players have an original PLAYER'S HANDBOOK at hand. This book is the key to adventure. With regards to Gary Gygax (St. Gygax, cf. BD4.63), please reference BD2.39, last paragraph on the bottom on the right hand side. To paraphrase, Gary says that OD&D and AD&D are different games. In that sense, the game(ruleset) is a different game from 1E, though, totally based on 1E. I've stayed true to Gary's original vision, the best I can, and, I fully admit that the system is not AD&D 1st Edition. It is based on 1e, but it is a different game. PS. Also, Gary's writings, which reveal his vision of 1e, should be made publicly available. Free (ADVANCED) DUNGEONS & DRAGONS is a human right. So is fun.
Setting: THE WORLD OF GREYHAWK. The setting will be kept in the background, but as time goes on, I will endeavor to weave more Greyhawkishness into the games.
Time: I'm in Toronto, so I am going to say sorry to other gamers that are not in our time zone.
It will be 4 hours, at least once a week, on standard EST.
The length of the campaign, in theory, will be about 4 years. (2015-2019).
The exact time (day/hour) is subject to the players, not me.
Update: Saturdays & Sundays are out, for now.
Space: Your comfy home. (Homelett) (Skype)
To all who read this, I apologize for an excess of words. Sweet time, back to you, one day.

T1-4 Temple of Elemental Evil: DM Prespos. Begins fall 2015. Ruleset: based on 1E.
Basically, 1st Edition (all books) + House rules (by Gary Gygax & Frank Mentzer) + ALL 1e Dragon articles.
Skype. Real dice. Real graph paper. Real pencils. Real human voice.
Fantasy imagination. (In the spirit of true Old School (A)D&D).
Warning: This will be a very difficult campaign. Expect regular character deaths and TPKs.
