Greets all.

With recent health scares I'm tidying up everything. Won't burden my sister with all this game stuff. ;>

You'll be seeing various unique and rare items from my hoard. Some will be eBay, some on FB groups, and some offered for personal negotiations.

fwiw PayPal works for lighter items, but heavies need a direct bank transfer (USA/IL).

Since Classifieds do not enable Q&A or discussion... well, here's a thread for them. :)

My friends Dave & Gary made a quantum leap in entertainment. Remember them.

I was dying a year ago and didn't realize it. Standard Uremia.
Had 3 months of blood dialysis (clinic), now at 2+ months of gut dialysis / PD at home.
I just spent a week in Philadelphia at PAGE2 con. Felt great. No problems.

Modern medical tech is amazing. I travel with my kidney machine.
So I'm grabbing what life I have left. :)

Like Tszii said, modern medicine can do amazing things. I truly hope you keep living you life to the fullest and continuing to serve as an inspiration for the community.

Hey there, sir

Glad to hear you are still adventuring and able to see your treasures off, though I empathize with the administrative hassle.

If any high end / obscure Tunnels & Trolls and related gems come out of the archives I would love a discussion or "tag". I am confident I will catch any eBay listings but the Facebook groups are virtually impossible to catch everything.

In the meantime I will share my oldest RPG treasure (not D&D but second to it). I think you will recognize it and it tells quite a story of what can happen in a lifespan.

I rarely permit visitors to my home.

But Stratochamp and I go back 40+ years, and we haven't been in touch, so...

He came up for a brunch at my local fav and then browsed the Deep Archives. I'm glad to have a noted collector look them over, just so somebody knows what's lurking. ;>

He may have more to say about that in due course.

Hi Frank,

There are many serious collectors on here.

Please let us know with links when things are for sale. I’m assuming at this stage in life you’re selling for money. Those with money who sincerely appreciate your contributions will pay top dollar as an enormous respect . I hope you will provide links to when you’re ready to sell on here.

Cheers and thank you.

Mark

Most serious items appear in our Classifieds forum.
My eBay link is eBay listings
