My baby girl Cora

Mother and baby are fine, Daddy is just a bit tired.

Nice, Plaag. I remember being amazed that the hospital let me take my newborn home. As if I knew what to do! My advice is to sleep when Cora sleeps, if you can. And enjoy these days. They are fleeting, binding, and altogether marvelous. I envy you.

Make them very large, soft foam dice. No choking that way.

Try 6 years if you get a bad sleeper

(Personally I blame the parents)

Although I have now got used to a maximum of 2 hours unbroken sleep every night.

Thankfully the latest addition sleeps like a erm... baby!

Congratulations by the way.

Isn't funny how fast they want you out of the hospital after the baby is born. "here you go, have a nice day. Now get the he'll out of here."

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Oh I am definitely getting what sleep I can, when I can. Just getting to enjoy the new experiences day to day is amazing.

I have plenty of books to read her :wink:

Mommy can read all of the 'childrens' books to her

Lookie what I found at the bottom.

LINKY

Well-used as stated. Edges worn of most color and some fraying at the corners; page edges browned from use; some occasional small stains and pencil marks; a couple of events where something was spilled then quickly cleaned up (mostly affected one edge); name in pen on the endpage. Good point is no pictures were colored in. All told, probably GD+ to VG-.

But I now have 1st prints of all 3 core books. Me a happy camper from that perspective.

And no, the D&DG is not infested by tentacles.

Nothing super-rare, but I've been having some luck with kijiji lately... found a wizard Holmes with SW Geomorphs & B3 tucked inside

From another seller, a nice lot with complete Gaz's and A1-4:

Pretty much done with FR, but needed the Horde & Kara-tur box sets:

All local pickups - just glad to be able to find a way to keep collecting while our national postal carrier is striking!

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Shoulda been: ".. from Pangreenia to Floratopolis, from mystical Treeonia of spectral Forests to Schruborial dimensions." - The Forests of Leng

The SW fans may love it...

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

What are those exactly? Are they like follow the path books, where you pick a choice and go to a certain page to discover your fate?

Are those four the entire series?
