It came out to sound more like, "STOP STOP STOP!"So we looked it over, and what did I find, but a curious D&D boxed set, using the, what I presume to be, the Mentzer rules for Basic D&D, but in boxed set form, copyright 1991. In it, was a foldable dungeon map for use with several paper minis, a DMs screen with DM rules inserts, a rules book, and various papers with writings from the previous owner. Also inside was a TSR customer response card, filled out by one Aaron Williams, age 14, who lived in San Mateo. The box set was $2.The second find was the second edition of Talisman by Games Workshop, copyright 1985. Some of the chits are missing, I imagine, since the game describes it coming with 140 chits, and it didn't seem like there were 140. It also came with two Q&A books, as well as a Game Programming for Teens book, which uses custom programming software, but it sort of based on C/C+. $5.All in all, a nice price for these collectibles. The Talisman game we can actually pay. I haven't looked to see how much these finds are worth, but I would imagine I got quite a steal.</blockquote>
