lost control of my spending sphincter yesterday

[Len]

The other cool side is the card is a common, so we have about a dozen or so of the card now. I'm considering making them into business cards.

But can you really do what it says on the card? A business card that advertises what you can't do is at best useless and at worst could get you in a lot of hot water. Maybe you should use your ENWorld avatar on your business cards instead.

I haven't spent anything lately. The last time I was at FandomII (yes the same store) I couldn't find a good mini for my rogue character.

I've heard good things about Adiken's line too though and if funds become free in the future, will probably start using those.

Made by the same company as Vallejo as I understand it.

Vallejo Model Color and Vallejo Game Color are slightly different formulas, although I like both. Game color is the much thinner of the two paint lines. Thankfully there are a lot of really fine paints out there for figs these days.

Spending Spree
I bought pretty much the entire GW LOTR miniatures line last week. Oi moi!

Got paid yesterday (well, as close to 'paid' as you can get on disability). Seeing as I was to try out a (as yet) unpublished RPG (Fantasy Imperium) I decided to pick up a few goodies at the store. These being:

GURPS: Dragons (Steve Jackson Games): Phil Master's look at the beast of myth, legend, and chintzy dungeon crawls.

Iron Kingdoms Character Guide (Privateer Press): If you are a crunch monkey this aint the book for you. Lotsa meat, lots of description and expository goodness. There are pages devoted to the calenders. And its treatment of non-humans is very different. Gobbers (a type of goblin) are good guys. Elves have problems.

Living Fantasy (Troll Lords): In which Colonel Pladoh imparts advice and wisdom most any world or adventure design could use.

The Extraordinary Book of Names (Troll Lords): Malcolm Bower's look at names around the world and how they or a variant thereof could be used in an RPG. Includes random tables for fantasy names which look like a lot of fun.

Also picked up Dungeon 114, Dragon 322, and Signs and Portents 11.

Of the books, if I had to choose I'd go with IKCG. Meaty, with tons of good art. My second choice would be G. Also lots of meat for the page count (160) and the art of Alex Fernandez. Yes, a GURPS book with good art. And Alex does a nice komodo dragon head (p26)

BTW, I got LF and EBoN for 25% off cover price. If you are in or will be in the San Diego CA area sometime in the near future, Game Towne at Harney and Congress is having a sale on the old d20 (3e) books. 20% off for one, 25% off for two, and 30% off for three or more. I spotted only one copy of The Extraordinary Book of Names but they did have an extra copy of Living Fantasy. If you're looking to add to your collection this is a golden opportunity.

So that's what I got for this month.

So- anyone else splurge recently? What were your more recent purchases?

I just sold off an expensive computer on eBay that I got for free, and have been on a major spending spree. Lots of computer stuff, a big tent, a TiVo, some more holes in my ears and some game stuff, including the Complete Eldritch Might book and the new Iron Kingdoms book.

I am about to make a big order at my FLGS for a bunch of d20 stuff I have been wanting to buy, plus the newest D&D and Vampire stuff out this month. Something like $300 total.

WoD Main Book
Vampire: The Requiem
Races of Stone
d20 Future
Bow & Blade
Heroes of High Favor: Dwarves
HoHF: Gnomes
HoHF: Elves
HoHF: Half-Orcs
HoHF: Halflings
Airships
Path of the Sword
Path of Faith
The Lords of the Night: Vampires
Encyclopaedia Arcane - Star Magic
Book of Hallowed Might I

Although, I just read that they are going to combine all the Heroes of High Favor books into one (anyone know any details on that?*) so I will have to change my plans.

* [Edit] I just read on Bad Axe Games' site that it will be 6 months after the Gnomes book comes out that the combined book comes out. That really sucks.

Well, I've been buying Giants of Legend minis like they're plastic crack. I've also picked up Serpent Kingdoms, the Planar Handbook, and Shadows of the Last War.

The next purchases are going to be: d20 Future, Pirate Isles (for the Conan RPG), the re-release of Shadows of Yog-Sothoth and the Conan GM's screen.
