Hitting the Motherlode!

I just wanted to send a big shout-out to my wife’s Uncle Angus (and yes, everyone should have an Uncle Angus) who saw fit to bestow upon me a great treasure for a GM running a fantasy game- about two decades worth of TSR's Dragon and Dungeon magazines!

Yeah!

For books over twenty years old these are in great condition! And these magazines are great, outside of the obvious new material and adventure ideas and stuff, it’s a trip down nostalgia lane looking at the old advertisements for other games, like James Bond and Paranoia and of course WEG’s Star Wars.

So again,a big thanks to Uncle Angus for his unparalleled generosity!

Now I just need to buy another big bookshelf to hold all of these!!!

That's cool man! Just don't tell him about my magazines, I ain't loaning any of these out just to get them back a decade later (reference my Blade Runner VHS tape that made it to claifornia and back in case his ass has selective memory!)

YEAH!!!!!!!

Air Force? Wasn't his ass in the Navy? WTF? You're doing him a favor keeping it.

Great news on the find.

By the way....WHAT THA HELL MAN?!

Where have you been? I just figured out who you were, I never linked your name until now.

Vic Palisades said...

LOL!

Whassup man!

Yeah, it's me, just using my old RPG character's name.

Shoot me an e-mail and let me know what's going on!

BTW I dig your blog, very cool and you've helped me tap into some quality graphic novels lately. BTW have you read the Marvel Civil War series? I haven't but I've read about it and wanted to know what you thought (I don't know enough about it to have an opinion yet). You should do a blog post on that and let me know if it's worth my time!

I'd love to but I don't have your e-mail and I'm not sure how you can get it to me without announcing it to the masses.

Thanks for the kind words by the way. And Civil War...?

Great artwork, intriguing storyline, a few landmark events, and a suck-ass ending.
