Jar15a1 wrote in Introduce Yourself, Fellow Collectors:Hello everybody,

I played AD&D my first three years of HS (83-86)before moving away for my senior year. And that was the end of that adventure. At that time I lived in a very small town and was gifted the Easley cover PH and a small lead figure but that was the extent of my collection. I was just another broke kid dreaming of big adventures outside my small town. I didn’t follow the game at all after that.

Now, 37 or so years later, I’m looking to get back in and I find it’s on its 5th edition. I bought the Art and Arcana book and got up to speed on what happened while I was away. Quite the story.

So as I looked to get back into the fun, I came across this site and it’s been amazing to see the time and effort everyone is putting into it. I’ve started watching eBay now and picking up the things I missed out on in the 80’s. I’m very excited to get back into the hobby and look forward to this adventure.

Jason

Hello All,
I have been lurking about this site for a while but decided to join up as I will probably have questions as my collection grows. I started playing AD&D back in 1980-1981 and played through high school and into college after college, career and family took hold and my parents ended up tossing out 1/2 to 2/3 of my collection. Now 20+ years later my kids have shown interest (with some gentle nudging on my part) so I have been trying to restore my collection to what it was and hopefully finish off some of the series I had started years ago. Anyway as a lurker I have enjoyed reading through the wealth of knowledge here and seeing other peoples collections.

Scott

Hello everyone,

I've been on here for a few weeks and missed this somehow.

I began playing in 1977 when I was quite young, with my cousins. The next school year, we played as part of European History class, then played with friends for about 5 years.
Got in with a different group and played just about all the time. Finally stopped in the late 80's as other life priorities took hold. After reconnecting with everyone I played with, we figured we played around 100 different modules.

I bought some in the early days when I had the money, then started buying as much as I could in the mid-80's. $20 would buy 3 modules.

Had a front row seat to the Satanic Panic as it began right down the road from me in East Lansing.

I had ended up leaving pretty much everything at my dad's house. Was told my stepmom got tired of it being in boxes in the workshop, hidden out of sight, so she tossed them. Found out a couple of years ago she didn't. I saved what I could, however, moisture and mice got to most everything as they just put the boxes in the garage. Most of what I had had never been opened.

I have been trying to replace what I can for a few years now.

Greetings!

Just happened across this site and wish I had found it a very long time ago!

I have been playing and collecting D&D <insert item name> since I was 8. In central Louisiana in the mid-80s, there was not much else for a poor kid to do other than bike the neighborhood and play D&D.

My collection currently consists of 2nd ed though 5th ed. and a few of my cherished childhood modules from 1st ed. Now I am expanding on that part of the collection and really look forward to using this great resource!

Thank you for your hard work, and I look forward to some great discussions!

-Will
