Nice, my store had a limit of 3 per person but they told my wife and son they could each grab 3 also...so...
The Avengers QS as well as two more my son took to his room to read so they didn't make the pic. Was a good offering of quickstart adventures which I like. Some new stuff to try out.

Great game room. Check your box sets up top, I recently changed the orientation and laid mine down. Standing up for years I found a lot of them were starting to get curling in some of the maps, pages, etc.

I am really exited about their latest campaign that just finished. I have been printing it since the first day of the campaign and have a huge castle to show off soon. It's really such a step forward from standard locking clips.

If you would like an idea of the products that will be available, take a look at their amazing library. I have backed all but 1 or 2 kickstarters since the beginning and will most likely be adding them now that I am a printer.

They aren't picking, I am running the Edge of the Empire beginner set so they will be playing pre-mades. They don't even know yet what we are playing. They only know we will be trying new games. Star Wars, Star Trek, The Walking Dead, Twilight 2000, Shadowdark.

Little change of scenery for my next session. Setting OSE and AD&D2E aside for a bit while we visit Mos Shuuta on Tatooine! Time for a little Edge of the Empire and something new for all of my group, myself included.

This one was a hard pass for me. I have enough RPG materials to last a couple lifetimes so I am done overpaying for new stuff to take up space.

I agree. It's what I enjoy so it's what I watch, listen to, and collect. Everyone has their thing. This is what I grew up with as a kid and teen. I wish kids today could experience what we did without living in an always-on connected world. I feel we got more from our experiences.

Yeah in my teens I had vinyls just like everyone before moving on to cassettes. My collection then was limited to Metallica, Megadeath, and Led Zeppelin. These days I still listen to them and Zeppelin is still my GOAT but now I have a huge range of music. It will be a fun journey.

Well it has worked with me. I wouldn't have gotten back into vinyl if it wasn't for my daughter. Just hunting down rare vinyls for her has gotten me interested again. There is a big yearly vinyl swap meet coming up soon that I will probably take her to.

I have a crazy digital collection and have a couple custom built digital jukeboxes. I have about 350 CDs still that I listen to but my vinyl collection consists of those two pickups this weekend. I am researching turntables now. I am leaning towards a Fluance RT85 w/Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge.

I agree. We didn't go last year. This year my daughter wanted to go but there weren't any must haves for her either. The resellers are just ridiculous though. These artists with all the variant vinyls with bonus tracks are a problem also. My daughter is a huge Taylor fan so I see it.

I'm really stuck....play AD&D or similar rules, still listen to my 80s/90s music, and even have 80s/90s arcade machines in my basement. My favorite movies happen to be from the 80s. Today only Indy studio/publishers are creative, most major studio/pubs just make bad, unimaginative reproductions.

A while back I tracked down a Sony DVD player ($10) to listen to my CDs after my 200 disc player broke. Our OSE game was called today due to one player out of town and one with the flu so I chilled and listened to music today. It was so relaxing. This was the lineup today.

I was curious about Delta Green but you gave me my reason. Purchased.

Oof yeah. I bought these both last year.

Yeah I realized how bad shipping to Australia sucks when you and I talked about shipping a simple 3d print.

Yeah that's a tough one. Here in the US as long as I don't get antsy I can wait for deals to come along. With shipping costs these days it's not worth it outside the US.

My collection has been accumulating since 1989. It definitely picked up the pace in the last couple years though.

My 2E shelf is actually a 2E bookcase. It's grown since this pic.

No, just my social media sites and the etsy store for now.

I am located in Upstate NY. I will be at the first CNY RPG Con in June.

I am a stickler about identifying my coins so I will keep at it but it just might not happen. Either way it was a good day out and it's something new.

Interesting. I was really interested in trying TOR out with my group but the Starter Set went out of stock in the US and hasn't returned. Guess I will keep my eyes out for this one down the road.

I did the land mass in Wonderdraft. I did the labels and some of the assets in photoshop.

I just picked up OSE Advanced and was going to run it but I am also planning a Dark Sun campaign this summer. I will probably run it in 2E since it's the system all my materials are made for...and my favorite.

Excellent. I love my binder but like many, it's seen better days. I have a bunch of appendixes for it but recently I have decided to start collecting the soft cover annuals. I also have a custom hardcover of all the Darksun and soon will have one of Ravenloft. The more monsters, the merrier!

Nice. I look forward to hearing what you think of it. I have this old version of it but I never had anyone to play it with. I have been interested lately in trying to get my group into it for a change of pace.

How about some Rangers of Shadowdeep?
