Found the Traveller boxed game "Invasion: Earth" unpunched at Half-Price Books in Pittsburgh. Box is a little messed up but otherwise in great shape.

Just picked up these 2 paintings that Ken Kelly did for the LJN Dungeons & Dragons toy line Dragonne & Fortress of Fangs. I have been after them for quite a while and was pretty excited to finally get them!

Finally picked up a first print Evael.

Why is this a fun find? First, it's pretty hard to find a nice copy. And also:

Nice pick up on Mindbane! I'm still looking...

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

The Stars Were Right!:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I had one of these original Pagan TUO#1 shirts years ago, but our dryer ate the sleeve up, and instead of turning it in a banner, or a cloth wrapping for my elder signs, or a dust rag for my statuette of Azathoth, I got rid of it. But now I have it back, and in time for the 2015 conventions season!

Please tell me you got it yesterday, when it was deeply discounted!

I was considering it, but looking at the measurements he gave, I didn't think it would fit very well.

Yes, Steve, I pulled the trigger when it was 70% off!

Hopefully it'll fit (I don't recall if they only sold these in XL or not, but hopefully...).

I had a fun book full of very eclectic and unusual goodies arrive and wanted to share... I'd never seen many of these before!

My favorite so far is Assassin's Quest, from nearby Downsview (now part of Toronto), Ontario

lots of interesting things there David!
I'm not familiar with the item to the left of assassin's quest, what is it?

Very cool copy of Wargamers Digest. It has a D&D article by Gary Gygax and a couple of very neat TSR adds.
