Weird Moments in Collecting

Post by serleran »

Well, maybe not so weird, really, but ironic...

Yesterday, I received some stuff in the mail, from what I had bought on eBay (and one from a seller I had asked to pull out of the store, so's I could get it and save them a very little on fees.) What I got is the important thing, not the how's anyway...

So, here's what I got:

Dragonraid 1st edition box set (complete, mind you, some of it still in shrinkwrap, like the dice, and the tape - yes, cassette.) If you don't know what this is, well, its the first Christian RPG (that I'm aware of) and was a direct response in the 80s to "roleplay is evil; good Christians don't play D&D." Its got some wonky mechanics, but is worth having (to me) because of it.

Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness hardcover. If you don't know what this is, its the definitive book on Chaos in the Warhammer (or, at least, half of Chaos, since it covers only two Gods) universe, usable with Warhammer, WFRPG (1e, mind you, but not impossible for 2e) and WH40K. Needless, its got all manner of neat Chaos mutations, their effects, spells, and the like. Think of it as the Warhammer equivalent to a Book of Vile Darkness (but actually with some vileness.) Its a high-demand book for enthusiasts and is pretty expensive normally. And now, its made me want to get the sister book: The Lost and the Damned.

Demons Box Set (still shrinkwrapped, and from Mayfair Games) along with Seed of Darkness, a novel based on the Demons product line.

Some days, its just interesting. :)

My mom bought that for me, back in the day. I think she was trying to counter any demonic influence that might make me want to run around bloody and sky-clad while summoning Arioch. She's a good mom.

Not surprisingly, I don't want to know what "sly-clad" means

Hey, you haven't seen anything until you've seen a sanguinary and sky-clad Philotomy running around shrieking about blood and souls.

Modesty prevents me from posting any pics.

So that WAS you. I had always assumed I was mistaken in that assumption.
