I'm close: I can't ID the book (a FR Drizzt book would be my guess); I think the sword is Excalibur; and I can't place the "GOB" oval car sticker, can't really see what is lying upon the Drizzt(?) novel (dice bag, maybe?) and the illegible box on top of Space Hulk.

A Drizzt book? I'm classier and it's more old school than that.

The sword, sadly, is just a sword. Not a particular replica or anything.

The GOB [Good ol' Boy] sticker isn't anything geeky, it's just a sticker on my file cabinet that I didn't peel off for the photo.

That is a dice bag on the book. The two dice on top of it, a d20 and a d8, came with my first BD&D box set (seen on the wall to the right of the closet door) -- they are almost 30 years old.

An unsleeved Black Lotus

Good eyes! It was only unsleeved for a few minutes

Is that Talisman on top of space hulk?

You've got good eyes, too. Yes, it is -- second edition, 1983.

May vague shape recognition is teh awesome, I recognised the colour patterns in the picture on the side of the box as a low res version of the cover.

The book is one of Gygax's Gord the Rogue novels. Edit: I recognize the critter, and Google images says it's Saga of Old City.

The boxes on the table are D&D miniatures from Grenadier. (I have the bottom box, or one of 'em anyways -- I don't remember how many different sets they had in that form factor.)

Not sure what the box set beneath BattleTech is.

Are those mini-reproductions of old AD&D modules, or some kind of poster?

What's the yellow thing next to the Fiend Folio on the shelf?

Looks like a couple of 3.xe hardcovers next to the World of Greyhawk folio map & books. The top one looks skinny -- maybe one of the Complete Whatevers? Can't really tell.


You should've had a Farrah Fawcett wig over the Fett helmet.

Marvel Super Heroes RPG.

It's a poster I made showing the color covers for all AD&D1 adventure modules up through 1985.

What's the yellow thing next to the Fiend Folio on the shelf?

It's a Nerf gun -- a Maverick.

Looks like a couple of 3.xe hardcovers next to the World of Greyhawk folio map & books.

The top book is the D&D3.5 PHB, the bottom is the AD&D1 DMG.

I hope you don't hate me for this, but after seeing this post, I would caption that photo as...

"In one week, something in this room will be utterly destroyed"

Awww, that was just wrong!

Awww, that was just wrong!

Too soon?

I was hoping the humor in it would carry him through in this dark hour...





...I have been wrong before though.
