Tell me about these older edition D&D products [list updated: Nov 20/10]

Time to start reading the Kalamar book.

Later all,

KF

I went to Wizard's once again... I keep finding new books I want in there 50% discount shelf. It turns out the have Axe of the Dwarvish Lord, several 2e Realms accessories I'm seriously considering as well as The Dying Earth RPG.

Damn!!! I need more green!

Anyway, here are today's discounted purchases...

• KALAMAR: Secrets of the Alubelok Coast [v3.5]
• PLANESCAPE: Harbinger House (*)
• RAVENLOFT: Children of the Night: Werebeasts
• RAVENLOFT: Dark of the Moon [RM4] (*)
• RAVENLOFT: Evil Eye, The (*)

I got all that for CAN $32.45 instead of $64.90.

Anyway, I'm really tired so I'm going to sleep for a couple of hours. Today, I went to a used book store, garage sale, and a thrift store called Value Village as well as Wizard's.

Later,

KF

*In the original shrinkwrap.

Last night, my mom dropped off more books for me to sell. Three bags of books (*) and VHS tapes. *Cookbooks and novels.

Therefore, I spent today selling as many of them as I could. I made just over $15.

The end result, I used the cash to buy a copy of the Forgotten Realms Adventures hardcover.

It is like where you live is a black hole that sucks all old gaming books into it.

Well, when it comes to some of the 2e books and boxed sets, I'm finding it fairly easy to find things I'm looking for. Yes, Whyte Knight has a lot, but the store doesn't have everything. (Trying to find 1e hardcovers or BECMI boxed sets and rulebooks isn't that easy, for example.)

So, when I came upon the Ravenloft stuff at Wizard's, I decided I needed to get as much of it as I can as fast as I can. (Four more, at least, to go.)

Wee Book Inn (WBI) is great, but I have to check each store at least once or twice a month to make sure I don't miss anything. (And then, I need to have the assets to acquire the best books.) The best game books in those stores come and go really fast!

For example, before I began this whole process, I noticed both the 1e Player's Handbook and the 1e Monster Manual II at one of the WBIs. I wasn't thinking I'd want them, at the time, but now I'm thinking it might have been a good idea to buy them. They disappeared quickly.

And just recently, the downtown store had (and possibly still does have) a copy of the 4e PHB. However, since I don't play 4e, I decided to go for the Dark*Matter Campaign Setting hardcover for Alternity instead. It was tempting, but I resisted. It will likely be gone the next time I go in there.

That store also has nearly a dozen Robotech books. Someone must have brought in their entire collection to WBI. That does happen sometimes. (Palladium books tend to sit and collect dust.)

Another example, Alhambra Books, another used book store just south of Whyte Avenue, currently has a BIG book for Champions (a core book, I think) and several books for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

The owner just got the WH Fantasy Roleplay books, so I haven't really looked at them in detail. One of them is called Dwarf Lords, or something like that, and she's asking CAN $129 for it.

What you will certainly need after you finish RPG-buying rampage through town, is a new pair of shoes, KF.

Heh.

They're already pretty worn out. I always wear out boots/shoes to the point of them coming apart. I only replace them when water seeps into them easily.

Picture time...

And...

Note that I'm not very attached to the "Oasis of the White Palm" module I got for $5 (*). I had planned to trade it to WK with the other modules I traded away there, but the owner already had several copies of the module so he wasn't willing to give me much for it.

Thus, I hung on to it.

I'd likely trade it away for another old school BECMI module, to anyone who wants it. These are my BECMI must haves: B10, CM3, DDA1, and X10. Also, if anyone has a copy of Thunder Rift they don't want I'd definitely take that. (From what I understand, Thunder Rift isn't a very popular book with BECMI fans. Is that correct?)

*I want the supermodule version of Deserts of Desolation, instead.
