(Josh) Clayton, (I'm not an actual Captain, but the Captain thing is for "Captain Keyboard", a nickname I earned because of my great typing and spelling...), anyhow to cut to the chase, I own and would love to discuss my full collection of AD & D and D & D stuff, some of which I bought from Bad Mike, and much of which I've collected over a strrrretch of years. I'm 31, I'm a writer, and I do a lot of reading on various subjects. So, I'll tell you what I have D&D and AD&D wise since this is a TSR board -- All of it is first edition, and I have everything from the D&D Cyclopedia to The *original* Unearthed Arcana and Monster Manuals and (yes) Greyhawk and Blackmoor. I have a lot of non-D&D role playing games too, including a traditional cheap chess set (in storage), but I keep my role-playing games around. I've been very busy lately, so I don't actively play much anymore, but I read the old books from time to time just for fun once in a while. The artwork in them is better than the new ones too. Well, thanks for reading.Captain Josh.
Badmike wrote:No better way to get your stuff than buying from Badmike!!!!! But seriously, welcome aboard. One of the great things about joining the Acaeum is that several of the members sell online, and you can be assured of a certain level of quality dealing with Acaeum guys. Unfortunately the downside is that being on the forum will lead to you to discover new avenues of collecting, and wanting more and more stuff until your bank account is inevitably depleted....but what fun!Mike B.

I'm a serious fan of the old stuff, but I've become attached to the new stuff as well. At one time my collection of books was amazing, sadly a flood destroyed a vast portion of what I owned, but I am well on my way back to rebuilding. By the way, this is a great site!

stumbling tiger wrote:Hi, here's my introductionMy name's Trevor, I'm 38 and live in Berkeley, California. I was introduced to the hobby by school friends in 1980 by way of the Holmes Basic Set; my first purchases were D&D in the Moldvay magenta box and a Ral Partha 01-015 super-hero (Tom Meier's version of Frazetta's "Deathdealer"; back in the day, my local toy store displayed the figs right next to the boxed sets, which was an irresistable combination). I gamed like mad till about 1984, then put down the dice for about twelve years. These days I collect mostly old lead (Partha, Grenadier, Heritage, Superior); Chaosium games (Runequest in particular); and generally anything with that classic '70's gaming feel. For example, I just bought my first Arduin Grimoire. This forum is the greatest: not only is there obscure lore to love, but the personalities!
