Discounts Rule
Posted: Mon Aug 28, 2006 3:33 am
So, Friday night I'm heading out of town so I'll be able to play in my semi-weekly C&C game (its an hour and half away, but my fiancee's family lives about 15 minutes from it, so we just go and hang out there when not gaming, most weekends) and we stop in the not-so-local game store to check out prices for primers and paints (I've got a crapton of unpainted miniatures that come from various board games, and I figure it'd be nice to get them all painted up, and it gives me something to do when I'm sick of writing new monsters), and there, right as we walk in, is the "discount bin." Several items are marked off 75%, which I figure is pretty good, but right below that, is the "super discount bin" or, as I'm calling it: "the might as well be free" bin, as everything in it was $2. I look around, and come back, and actually flip through the stuff, and get a few items, just 'cause, and I'm quite pleased, as everything in the bins were in near mint, practically unopened state! Only one book was slightly warped at one edge (looked like it had been pressed to fit into a tight spot on a shelf.)
Anyway, this is what the serleran grabbed:
Rolemaster 2nd Edition Box Set (complete)
Palladium's Monsters and Animals 2nd Edition
Terminus V Master Rulebook (this thing is a 422 page post-apocalyptic wargame / RPG with a very Shadowrun-esque storyline, only there's no fantasy)
The Compendium of Weapons, Armour and Castles (needed a second copy)
RIFTS Rulebook 1st Prnt (needed a second copy)
I don't think I did too bad, though I was saddened there weren't any straight OoP D&D things there, but there was some d20 stuff, which was not of interest to me.
