Double hitter today. Went out on a hunt for some old-school D&D and came home to some mail.
Dragged my wife and youngest out to a yard sale way north of Chicago because I saw online they had a ton of D&D books. A box of adventures, hardcovers, a box of Dragons, and a bunch of old Ral Partha minis. We got there in plenty of time, but the boxes were stanched up by, well... I never got a satisfactory answer. My wife and kid suspected (with some good reason) that the people running the sale held it back for someone. I kept getting a different answer from the workers (it was a managed sale) and the person buying them all didn't seem like a gamer because they really couldn't answer and questions.
Oh well. I did get a chance to look into the boxes, and I had about 95% of it all anyway.
I DID manage to score boxed sets of Top Secret and Indiana Jones. This gives me more evidence that person buying didn't know what they had. These were right next to the books and were ignored. That's fine, I didn't have these, so score for me! I also got the Doctor Who Technical Manual to replace my old one that was lost.
The boxes are in worn shape, but the contents are good. Missing dice, save for the saddest looking d10 I have ever seen.
On the mail front, this was waiting for me when I got home.
The Folio Black Label #3 White Witch and Black Stone from Art of the Genre.
And it looks like I got the last copy! Sorry all. But honestly, how could I have said no? It features Duchess and Candella as NPCs and the main antagonist is "the White Witch." I mean, come on?
While print is sold out, the PDF is still available.
I'll get a proper review of this up soon. Now I just need to figure out where I am going to slot this into my War of the Witch Queens.
