Hi there.
I have been a lurker here for a few years and thought it might be nice to actually make a few posts now and then.
I was an avid TSR gamer when I was younger i(n the mid-80s) and even though I no longer game, I still actively collect TSR memorabilia and still enjoy pouring over all of my old AD&D books.
There are a few goodies in my collection that I hope to share pics of when I have some time. I own a vintage toy shop in Portland, Oregon and we carry a lot of the original LJN AD&D action figures and whatever minis, modules and books that I don't need for my own collection.

talk to ya'll soon,
Billy Galaxy

Hello everyone! I am one of the "older" ones who loved playing the original massively multiplayer in-room role-playing game!  Some of the best times and best friends I've ever had!  I kept a lot of my old Dragon magazines, but gave most of the ones we used away, but.....I do still have the back ups I bought, in case of an emergency!  I think I have close to 70 that are still in the plastic.  My oldest one is from June of 1978.  And my most prized possessions are my 3 back up copies of The Finieous Treasury Volume 1.

Welcome to all the new members.

I am not around much at the moment--personal matters are becoming very difficult for me to handle. So, I figure, if I only stop by now and again, then, I might last a while longer.

Keep collecting!

Welcome to the Aceaum.  Literally some of the coolest and best people I have ever associated with I met through here.

I will be happy to give you your first tip...whatever you thought was unreasonably expensive has now been shifted right by an order of magnitude (maybe two )

Still on a high from my second NTRPG Con... thought I would register and participate in the conversations here since I have a sliver of time that I don't already waste on Facebook...

As an attractive female presumably roaming around alone looking for an open D&D game, I'd suggest you avoid India.  Besides the very real possibility of being molested, there's a lot of Internet trolls based there.

Woah!  Peachtree City is about an hour from Macon, Georgia.  There are not a lot of people of your background/profile who are into Dungeons & Dragons.  I am sure there's an interesting story there....

I think Sarah will be quite confused if you show up at her college with a backpack of 1st Edition modules and the intention of "rolling a few dice".

P.S.  While the amusement of watching this continue to unfold is tempting, in the interest of alleviating the general confusion:

"Kacy Crawford" is a troll of some sort, most likely trying to jack up a post count so as to later spam advertisements.  The introductory post above seemed a bit fishy (I'm highly suspect of "gamer girls" interested in early xD&D -- apologies to lucyjoyce, Azurah, Allison, Versimilitude, et al).  However, it was the follow-on posts (since deleted by me) that really tipped me off; replies to about ten of the most recent messages in Collecting General, consisting of "LOL", "Great Post!", "ooh, this is interesting", etc.  I checked the IP, and it comes back to India.  I Google-searched the avatar pic, and it comes from a recent article on a college freshman named Sarah Kajani, in Georgia.

So, out with the ban stick.  Sorry guys.    Rest assured that Kacy is most likely a greasy dude sitting in an Internet cafe in Bangalore.
