To cut to the chase, I'm interesting in starting up a simple D&D gaming group. While I could hunt elsewhere and join someone else's game, I'd rather a) start fresh with other noobs, and b) play with my dA friends. SO right now I'm popping this journal up to just see who is even vaguely interested. I can hash out times and such later on, but right now I need to know if enough people even care to try and get a game going.

Here's the setup:
- I'll DM the first game, at least, to get things going.
- I'm using D&D 4th edition. I have the core books, and if anyone else needs a copy of the Player's Handbook (which is all anyone'll need for now), I can help out.
- I'll also likely run the official intro campaign, Keep on the Shadowfell. Made for Level 1 characters, so everyone starts fresh.
- I have access to online tools that'll let people play together using maps, icons, etc. Run through MapTool. All I don't have is a microphone, so it's going to have to be chat/text based for talking. Probably through Skype/Messenger.
- I've never really done this stuff before, so I'm not sure how long a session to plan, but 3 hours for the first time is likely. We can see how it goes from there.

I'm hoping for at least 4 people, up to 6 or 7. I know time's always an issue for those of us who ony meet online and live in radically different timezones, but I'm sure someting can be worked out.

If anyone wants to get in on it, either comment on the journal or drop me a note. Hopefully within a few days I'll know whether we can get something going or not.
