lol, shit is catalogued, in spreadsheet with value accounted for and insured.
I'll be goddamned I get whacked, and Mom's selling my shit at a yard sale for $5.

I'll be ramping it all down, though. Time to sell a lot of it off.  Closer to the end of the game than the beginning, you know.

I'm here if you need a stable buyer.  :wub:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

My storage unit AKA the Toy Chest--

I've been on a real vintage RPG kick the last couple years; managed to score a lot of older 80s/90s stuff.

Been making a killing on the estate auction market.

Oh wow... impressive :cheers:

Coming soon, on Storage Wars ... :P

So I started a blog for my various OSR / D&D houserules. It has a grand total of two (2) posts so far. Maybe it'll have more posts in the future.

The blog is called Binder Full of Notes.

In theory it'll lots of content, but we'll see how much I'll follow through.

My brother has been saying he wants to DM a campaign, so I was thinking of buying him a tabletop RPG for his birthday. Any recommendation? He digs medieval fantasy stuff, and we already play D&D 5e.

Old games aren't out of the question if I can track down copies on the used market.

Can you give some idea of what he's looking for in terms of running a game?

Does he want to come up with tactical combat scenarios for the players to solve to the best of their abilities? Is he after a game that's heavy on roleplaying and less on dice? Does he want political intrigue? High fantasy, light-on-magic fantasy? Gritty magic?

I have a lot of recommendations, possibly.  :lol:

He certainly digs tactical combat and the dice rolling component of the experience. He also wants an engaging background, though.

As for his tastes, he likes high fantasy stuff with a gritty touch.

If he likes tactical combat, check out The Dark Eye, maybe. Though it tends to be VERY stat heavy. :D

My brother has been talking about Rune Quest. We used to play it a lot when we were both teens (I still keep all the books in a decent state), and there's a new edition out. Anybody knows if it's any good?

Think finding a D&D group over Discord would be good?  Anybody done it? I don't know anyone locally who'd play.
PDH!

Playing on discord works, I think. Dunno about finding a group, but I don't see why not - and I know folks who've done it.

The current edition of RuneQuest is more tightly tied to the world Glorantha than earlier editions. Of course anything is possible to do, but as written my impression is that it's good to want to play in that world. An alternative is Mythras, which is essentially the previous version of RuneQuest, maybe slightly modified, that The Design Mechanism publishes since Chaosium took back RuneQuest for the latest edition.

NB I haven't played any of them.
