This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

......Another darn booster box of STAR WARS miniatures - hoping a few are generic enough that they can work with my TRAVELLER game.


 At the store......

....with my discount.

This is what a really cool FANTASY RPG should be like :

Ahhhh, I remember those days.  I worked at a game shop throughout my college years.  With a discount and a gaming habit to feed, it was a miracle when I brought home any money at all!  :D

Picked up the old Hercules & Xena RPG box set on the cheap. I've been watching episodes of Herc on DVD lately and just thought it might be cool to take a look at what West End Games did with it as a RPG. Plus, I'll also get to take a look at the D6 Legend system that it uses.

The last RPG related item I purchased was an old Boot Hill module called "The Lost Conquistador Mine" that I intend to steal ideas from for my Aces & Eights game.

Boot Hill!  Neat!  And welcome to the site, Allen (even though you joined in June)!

I just bought the final issues of Dragon and Dungeon from the local bookstore (not the FLGS).  Sad to think that's the end of them after all these years.

I just caved on impulse and bought a bunch of Precision Edge (TM) Gamescience dice.

QuoteThis set has been molded in assorted unique UGLY COLORS, which may include: Vana White, Murphy Brown, Vida Blue, Lorne Green, Karen Black, Zane Gray, Road-Kill Red, Excessive Violet, Organized Grime, Chocolate Sludge and Statutory Grape. Actual colors per package may vary.

Doesn't matter what color they are - what matters is if your character lives longer when you use those dice.

I also picked up some of my old game books from my parent's house last weekend.  So it's not a RPG-related purchase... but it's "new" RPG stuff in a way. ;)

Marvel Super Heroes
MSH Modules - Most of 'em
Marvel Super Heroes (Advanced)
Gang Wars
Robotech - All of it
Vampire, Mage, Changeling
AD&D - The rest of 'em
Dragonlance - Miscellaneous
Forgotten Realms Boxed Sets
Dark Conspiracies + Supplement
TMNT - Miscellaneous
Ars Magica
Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader

The basic MSH game is really nicely put together. :haw:
Lancer's Rockers is still stupid. :)
Dark Conspiracies had some cool stuff in it. :raise:

They don't. But rolling Zocchi die, you know they died for a reason.
Employment Counselor: So what do you like to do outside of work?
Oblivious Gamer: I like to play games: wargames, role-playing games.
EC: My cousin killed himself because of role-playing games.
OG: Jesus, what was he playing? Rifts?

You died for science!

QuoteThese dice are the most precise RPG dice you can add to your collection. Gamescience states that “no company makes polyhedral dice closer to casino specifications” (casino dice must be exact to a tolerance of .005” - Gamescience dice have been measured with a side to side variation of .002” to .006”). In short, these are the dice you want if you demand the fairest, most impartial role available to gamers. The precision edge both keep these dice truly random since there is no unfairness introduced from curvature variation and also allows for better stopping power so the dice come to a halt faster than other dice.

GameScience dice are the shit, and Col. Lou Zocchi is a blast to talk to.  At Gen Con, ask him to show his physical comparisons between the various brands of dice.

My favorite dice in the entire world are my GameScience Pewter Percentiles, which I believe I have mentioned before.  The "Tablewreckers" are rightly feared by my gaming group.  Rough.  Mean.  Heavy.  The dice of a Barbarian Warlord.
