killjoy32 did you have a look at Faraos? Sadly alle the small good shops have closed the past 5-10 years.

I look forward to my time here (may it be long and enjoyable).

Is that the one that sells rubber swords, axes, shields, etc? Two floors? Used AD&D and OD&D items on shelves in the front near the cashier?

Not great - but as I said - all the good ones disappeared years ago

Hey, at least they have a gaming room upstairs in the back, if I remember correctly.

I have some friends in Norrebro who took me there last time I visited. I used to live in that neighborhood myself (Norrebro). On Korsgade. But that was back before the "byfornyelse" movement had cleaned things up too much. Pretty damned interesting place to live, if not the safest. :wink:

Thats right - they have.
And oddly enough used by both MTG players AND RPG folks too.
At least thats the way it was the last few times I stoped by - but I can't tell for sure since I live on th emainland and not on Sealand where CPH is

I've heard it's lovely. And the Finns..."You want to talk or you want to DRINK?" Who can argue with reasoning like that?

Stockholm is by far my favourite Scandinavian capital.
Althought the most empressive park I have ever seen is the Gustav Vigeland sculpture park in Oslo.

Scandinavia is a lovely place

Brian, maybe it's my eyes, but you look amazingly like me, without the beard. It's uncanny. Perhaps I should grow mine out.

Stockholm is a world-class city. Especially the old quarter.

Vigelandparken, I know it well. Lived in Oslo for a while, too. Up near Ekeberg where the junior soccer championships are played every summer.

My name is Gus and I'm 31. I've been playing OD&D/AD&D/D&D since 1985. The game has never lost its fascination, though time and again I've found life has distracted me from the game at times. At least I got my wife to start playing

I'm now in the process of "re-collecting" my stuff...about 5 years ago (or so) I sold my collection for $3,000 (after having up on eBay for a week with no bids). I took a hiatus from the game until 3rd Edition came out, which was only a two months or so at the time. I've regretted that sale ever since. At least it paid my car off

I think it's pretty neat to recognize some of the eBayers that are on these boards...kind of puts a name with the face, so to speak. I hope to talk to you all soon!

Hi-my name is Dave and I began playing D&D back in '81! I still remember it was the last(maybe 2nd to last) day of school in the fifth grade and a classmate brought in The Keep On The Borderlands! I was taught the bare minimum to play but it didn't matter -I loved it! We played all day, and i can still remember the feeling of enchantment as i gazed at the back cover(you know the Erol Otus rendtition of the keep with the characters approaching at sunset!) :!: -my imagination
soared with thoughts of treasure,conquest,and fearful monsters that must be slain!I went on to be an AD&D fanatic for the next 3 years but then i abandoned it completely to chase after girls full time! Recently an old friend of mine and i got together and played AD&D and really had some fun! I don't seem to make the time to play often but I hope to play again soon!

Posted: seeking arcane knowledge, will pay well for old writings,books,scrolls,alchemist cookbooks, and other odds n' ends that will aid me in furthering my pursuits!

Gus and Thenraine, welcome in. Not everyone can feel this sense of enchantment... but if you do, you continue for all your life. And me and my forties can testify it :)

Hello everyone my name is Martin and I live in Indianapolis. I'm 38 and just began collecting D & D modules. Started playing in high school but never got into it like my friends did. I just enjoyed reading the modules. I recently pulled them out of storage and stumbled across ebay and suddenly I was off and running with my collection. I really have enjoyed this site for the past couple of days. Hope to be a regular poster here.

Welcom, Martin, and be sure to hit the "average age" poll thread. We need more old-timers! :lol:
