Today’s excitement:
D&D Encounters: Scourge of the Sword Coast at 6:00pm
Netrunner LCG League (runs all day, but the core time is 7:00-10:00pm)
Tim says: In honor of D&D Encounters tonight and roleplaying week in general here’s a little bit about myself:
I discovered Dungeons & Dragons in the summer of 1981, when I was 11. The Holmes boxed set had been given to me by my Grandmother in Chicago and I was instantly hooked. I wanted more. I _needed_ more.
But in the tiny little town I lived, there was no place to get more. But it was summer, and we had vacations planned. So I begged and cajoled my parents to find a store that had D& D books. I don’t remember that store, but I remember what I bought — Module A1: Slave Pits of the Undercity and a set of tan colored dice. I still have that module and one or two of that dice set, now battered and worn and unusable.
I read that module cover to cover more times than I can count. I DMed that adventure on the long drive home for my long-suffering parents. I needed the rest of the series.
I don’t remember now how I got the others, but I can remember stories about buying other D & D adventures. I recall running through the streets to get a copy of D3 and racing back, nearly missing the train I needed to catch. I remember seeing a copy of CM1: Test of the Warlords at a little mini-convention and trying to barter away my dice to make up for the dollar or two short I was to get it.
So I’ve always loved those old books. I’ve collected them, read them, devoured them, bought them, sold them and hoarded them my whole adult life. And so I’m really pleased to be able to have them for sale at Round the Table.
We’ve got a huge collection of 1st and 2nd edition modules and books, as well as nearly every 3.5 hardback book that WotC put out. There are some pretty rare and awesome titles in there, like WGA4 Vecna Lives! or WG6 Isle of the Ape by Gary Gygax. Also, we just got in the special edition, leather-bound and silver-gilt 3.5 core books: Player’s Handbook, DM’s Guide and Monster Manual.
So come on by and take a look at our selection. I’m pretty certain it’s the largest collection of out-of-print D&D books for sale in the State!
