Best charity shop find ever

 

wowza!

This little lot came from a semi-local charity shop. Found the majority over a week ago but had to ask them to hold for me as my credit card wouldn't go through. (Called up Tesco Bank to have a pop at them as there was no good reason for this - only to be asked by the very patient lady "have you still got your expired card in your wallet, as it seems that this was the card that was used"! Cue sheepish apology)

Anyway I went back the following Monday to find the shop closed up. Called all week and finally got through on Friday to a lovely lady who remembered me and was sorry but they had been struck down by the dreaded Covid.

Monday comes again and I went in to collect my haul as well as a bundle of Players association News and mono modules that were on the shelf - oh happy day.

These weren't super cheap (a deal though) but once I've filled in some gaps in my LBB and WD collection will certainly pay for themselves. In a different collecting world I would definitely be keeping more of this stuff but I am trying to be a bit more controlled in what I want, even to the point where I am sort of making lists. Very pleased indeed, just need to get some on eBay so I can pay off the cc before the statement comes in🙄!

Thanks for reading

More new acquisitions

 eBay purchases, these are going straight back out  because I simply don't want them!

Over the years I have owned at least a dozen copies of these three, though strangely I don't ever recall having owned issues one or two.

These are an odd thing, I sort of don't know what their niche was, for the time they were reasonably pricy but they all include a fairly decent and we'll produced adventure. So are they module or magazine, who knows but their can be no surprise that they didn't last any longer than five issues.

Interesting though, the letters page and editorials really give an insight to the UK RPG scene post Imagine. Strange to think that this is where we got our news and information from, imagine a time when we had no internet and our information was fed to us from sources that were potentially quite biased, how naive we were!

That's it though, just a quick one.

Time flies, but got some stuff

 

Slow yesr but got some time on my hands. 

The Chainmail and Holmes basic book are both shot to pieces but doesnt stop me loving them, and they definitely fill a gap in the collection. 

I remember Hellgate Keep being a great later Forgotten Realms midule and its near the top of my to read pile. 

The double adventures are a mysteey to me, I dont even think I ever owned one back in the day and I certainly have no recollection of ever reading them.

Nore to come, maybe
