Mail Call Tuesday: Red Sonja Unconquered

 Another Holy Grail item acquired this past week. My own copy of the AD&D 1st Edition Module, RS1: Red Sonja Unconquered.  I am a big Red Sonja and Clyde Caldwell fan, so this is perfect.

You won't find this one (or the Conan ones) on DriveThruRPG, so having a real copy is something I have wanted for a while.

I got it, and it is in really good shape. It's not every day that I can say I bought a new AD&D 1st edition book.

We just don't get enough Clyde Caldwell succubi.

The Hyborian Collection

I don't have CB1, but I'm not actively looking for it either.

It also dawns on me that I have not stated Red Sonja for the Wasted Lands game. I am implying no ownership here of Sonja, Wasted Lands, or them to each other. Just a fun exercise.

I could give her more, but she is already pretty powerful. This Sonja is quite capable. 

The model for Red Sonja was Jeanne Stanley, who had also been his model for the ranger Alerelean on the cover of Dragon #94, among other modeling for Caldwell.
