In what would have to be par for the couse now that I have almost all the more common Role Aids items Mayfair has decided to put them on sale. There are some nice package deals. If anyone does not have all the Role Aids items you can pick up most of them now.

The have also released an updated version of one of the best beer and pretzel games ever. Thats right a new version of Family Business can be yours for only $10. Glad I missed out on all the ones I have been bidding on over the last year!

Any of the original five tourneys?

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Nothing that cool. All more common items. Good for the gamer not the collector except to fill a few holes perhaps.

I grabbed the Demons set because I own one of them and have always enjoyed the take on demons and their hierarchy. One of my favorite Dragon mag articles had to do with the politics of hell. Demons :evil:

, devils

, all good fun!

I could not resist. I snagged the FEZ set and the Adventures set. Even with $10+ shipping, it was still a deal I could not beat on Ebay.

Thanks for the tip, my man!

I went over to the warehouse and picked up a full batch of everything (5 sets, $69 w/tax).

They said the remainders had been selling terribly in singles at the old (retail?, slightly discounted? I don't know) prices, but when they put them in sets and slashed the prices, they started flying out the door.

The FEZ set is the most popular, I think, and as of this afternoon, they were down to only 7 remaining.

Wow, I am glad that I got in under the wire then. I bought my stuff last Wednesday and it already arrived here today. The only reason that even took that long is because I wasn't around to get it Friday. SHipping was actually very reasonable as well.

I had been debating it. Decided its too good a deal to pass on. Grabbed a set of everything. I was suprised how reasonable the shipping was. $16 for a 31 pound shipment.

Now I'm just hoping I get the delivery before my wife sees it a fusses about a box that big
