Welcome, James!  I enjoy your blog; it helps me catch any cool new OSR items that escaped my notice.

Hmmmm...... That explains a lot.     

Welcome albatros131,

Look forward to seeing your posts in the forums.

Martin

Thanks folks...
Yeah it was a tragic way to "earn" a collection, but I really want to finish it for him, that is the best I can do.
I still need:
Calimport
Volos guide to Cormyr.
Bloodstone wars.
Blood of the yakuza
4th edition players guide to forgotten realms and Newervinther campaign setting.

I´m not completely sure if I have everything else so if anyone knows a complete list of Forgotten realms game stuff then that would be great.
As collectors before me has mentioned then it is quite addictive, and I know that the next thing that will happen is that I will try and get all the computergames and then I will have to "re"get it all as SW and like others have said it just goes on and on and on.....

I have some interesting stuff for sale on ebay.uk if you are interested, some SW items and stuff, and I will only charge the cheapest shipping possible, but still from Denmark it is SOOOOO costly, and be sure it is the same the other way around:-) I might have spend more money on booktravelling from US and GB than actual books and stuff, who cares, I like it!

Hi everyone,
I'm Jim age 38
Played D $ D in the 80s.  Now that I'm older, I have lots of nostalgia for my old hobbies.  I recently bought reading copies of DMG, PH, FF, MM, D&Demigods and had a blast re-reading them.  I've been a collector of all sorts of odd things in the past and now have gotten the bug to collect 1E D&D.  I've decided to concentrate on just a small subset of items to begin with so that I dont get too overwhelmed.  
I think I'll start with Module cover artwork by Erol Otus.  There is something about his work that I really associate.  Perhaps it stems from having started out my playing career with the purple box basic set.  
What I plan on collecting:
1)  Modules with cover art by Erol Otis (SW preferably)
2)  Modules with back cover art by Erol Otis
3)  More decent Erol Otus cover art such as on Dungeon Crawl Classics
I got to start making a list of all of these works
BTW, thanks to the Acaeum.  What a great site and resource.  

Thanks everyone.

Welcome, Mykridius!

Otus is the iconic artist (say that seven times fast) for a lot of old-school gamers.

Welcome to both new members, it's good to see more new (old) faces collecting, hang around and watch your spare time and money drip away
