Game Information
This game makes uses the Basic Fantasy system. Aside from the core rules, the supplements "Half Humans", "Gnomes", "Bardic Characters", "Druid", "Illusionist", Necromancer", "Rangers and Paladin", "0 Level Spells", "Saving Throw Options", "Thief Options" and "Magic-User Options" are also in use. Nearly all are freely available here:
https://www.basicfantasy.org/downloads.html "Saving Throw Options" can be found in the Showcase:

Being an old-school adventure and system, player character death is not just a very real possibility, but pretty likely. I'm not the most hardcore when it comes to that (I rather avoid "save or die" situations and PCs don't die immediately when their HP drops just below 0), but when the rules/dice say the character is dead, then they're dead.
Rules
As this is my first attempt at GM-ing, I don't demand a lot from the players. There are, however, some basic rules:
-Don't be a jerk and respect your fellow players.
-If you are going to be absent for more than a week, please notify us beforehand. Prolonged, unexplained absences can cause you to be removed from the game.
-I reserve the right to remove players, if they're disruptive to the game, mostly by violating the first two rules.
-The GM has the final decision over everything.
-Relax and have fun!
Ideally, everyone should post at least two-three times a week.
Posting Format
Use a color (except orange) for your character's speech. Always use that color when that character speaks.
Out of character comments and dice rolls are written in orange color. The former should be preceded by "OOC:"
Examples
Judge Beltom faces the pale vampire and raises his whip.
"Perish beast, this land is no place for you!" he shouts as he lunges at the undead.
Today: Judge Beltom rolled 19 using 1d20+3. Atk Vampire1.
Today: Judge Beltom rolled 4 using 1d3+2. Damage.
OOC: This seems kinda familiar...
---
"Climbing a cliff like this is a piece of cake," Brogo said with a grin, as he begins to scale the mountainside.
Today: Brogo rolled 93 using 1d100. Climb Walls.
OOC: Well, this will result in some broken bones.
