I'm married to a beautiful woman and have two great little boys. It's funny how talking about gaming still inspires tunnel-vision in me. :oops:

He's bad, he's beautiful, he's crazy! He's the man with no name!

<sigh> I liked you a lot for about 2 seconds there...

Welcome aboard!

Greetings. My name is Lance Hawvermale. I was drawn to these boards due to my work with Rob Kuntz. I am currently putting the finishing touches on Tower of Blood. Discussions on other forums about that line of products brought me here.

I've been authoring professional game-related material since 1995 and novels since 2003 (under a woman's pen name, no less!). I invite everyone to take a peek at a bit of my life:

http://www.lancehawvermale.com

As far as collecting goes, several years ago a personal emergency of the medical kind forced me to sell what amounted to $1900 worth of product. I let go of everything but my core rulebooks and a few favorite modules (When a Star Falls, Against the Cult of the Reptile God, Ravenloft). Since then, I've focused on collecting just a few specific lines of products. Right now I'm working on buying all Dungeon magazines from issue 1 to 81 (the changeover to Third Edition). I'm also slowly assembling the TSR trading cards from 1991, '92, and '93 (not the factory sets, but a tedius booster by booster collection).

I was thrilled to find these boards. I hope to see some of you at GenCon, where I will be hawking my wares at the Necromancer Games/White Wolf booth, trying to win a few rounds in the D&D Miniatures qualifier, and running a game of Boot Hill, Third Edition.

Peace to you all,

Lance

Welcome, Lance....if that is your real name.

You will find many interested collectors here so prepare to have your collecting fetish massively expanded.

I was just joking...because he said he publishes novels under a woman's name.

.....which is interesting, because I specifically will not purchase fantasy novels from female writers. I wonder why the lady's name is important.

Seriously? I recommend Susannah Clarke, Julian May, Patricia Wrede or Julie E. Czerneda. Not your typical mamby-pamby Barbara Hambly type stuff.

Well...I stopped buying new fantasy in general a while back....

It all went lesbian/Wicca/feminist/tree hugger. I got sick of essentially female characters masquerading as male heroes....or of male characters who were either rapists or closet cases.

   My opinions now are simply bull-headed ignorance combined with reads of some very bad novels.

   Since when did "Cling! Clang! Cling!" become adequate descriptive text for a swordfight?

   And, don't even get me started on Roberta Jordan!

Hello,

I have been playing, collecting and selling D&D stuff since '79. I used to work for a Games Distributor called LSW from '83-'90. I also worked at several game stores and comic book shops through out the US.
During those years I went to many conventions, Gen Con, Origins, World Cons etc though the last one I attended was Dragon Con 3 years ago.

You always have such a wide selection of whatever you're auctioning, be it RPG modules or miniatures. I try to control my eBaying, but you keep posting auctions!

What is a "hamilcar", anyway? I keep picturing Luke Skywalker driving an RPG-filled car through the bayou when I see your name next to an item.
