[Ronin84]

Today my wonderful wife surprised me with my anniversary gift and Christmas present.

5th Printing of the Original Boxed Set

5th Printing of Greyhawk
3rd Printing of Blackmoor
3rd Printing of Eldritch Wizardry

Monsters and Treasure Assortment Pack 1
Dungeon Geomorphs

The Strategic Review #5

1st Printing of The First Fantasy Campaign (no maps)

1st Printing of the AD+D Monster Manual
2nd-7th Printing of the AD+D Player's Handbook

Boxed sets of the Holmes DnD set and the Expert Set with the Otus Cover.

Now she found these at a GARAGE SALE!! The price for the whole thing was very reasonable!!

I am so excited because I have never had a copy of the original boxed set for my own!!! I could only think of one place to brag so I came here!!

That's really cool! What a great spouse you have!

Here's an exalt, not nearly so cool but I wanted to get in on the giving . . .

I might add, that some pix of the stash might make for some powerful gamer porn.

Throwing in an exalt too!

I will post a pic tomorrow for my phone is dead as a door nail right now!

What a great idea!!

Noble Knight has a copy of the Judges Map for $4.95. You might also try checking with Badmike. He has a lot of JG stuff in inventory and can be reached at the Acaeum forums.

Congrats on the awesome haul!

I'm suitably jealous or course Congrats, and happy reading ;D

Not to mention what great garage sales you have!

With a thread title of "Booty!" and the first sentence of the OP being, "Today my wonderful wife surprised me with my anniversary gift and Christmas present.", I have to say that this is not the thread I was expecting.

Dragon magazine #39 (July 1980) has an article with tables discussing critical hits and fumbles.

Arduin Grimoire Vol. I (1977) has them, too.

Off hand, that's the earliest two examples I can recall, but the brain trust here will probably quickly come up with others! Of this I am certain.

For the longest time you could download a copy of Dave's Blackmoor map off of Dave's website as a giant image file, which could be printed. I believe that Dave had shaded in stuff with colored pencils as well, which is an added bonus since the original wasn't in color.

Actully, it's still on Havard's site!

That map is ridiculously cool. Next time I'm pulling an all-nighter tender submission at the office I must try and print out a copy at A1 or so.

I will see what I can do with that, thanks Marv!!

[Ronin84]

I posted a pic from my facebook, just easier....

IF there are any questions ask away and thanks for the exalts, my wife really out did herself in my opinion.

She is also appreciative of all the thanks from here and is preening with pride!

That is totally awesome! At first, as I was reading the list, I was like, "How the heck would she know what stuff to get?" (Perhaps a silly assumption, but my wife would never know that sort of thing.) And then the garage sale/crazy cheap part appeared. I'm super jealous! Congratulations on the big score!

My wife and I spend the summers going to garage sales and she just happened to be off and was out, she called me and sent me pictures to confirm that she was right!!

You've got to love smart phones. This is why they exist.
