That was my decision making process, but I am feeling a twinge of regret looking at that photo, especially as I've been watching a lot of '80s action movies with my nephews lately (One highlight to share while watching Predator: one them pondered, "I wonder who would win if a Predator fought an Alien?" I told him he was not the first to ask that question.)
That has never stopped me. My wallet would be happier if it did...
My set is supposed to arrive today!
It is that...
Finally took the plunge, and my copy of Joe Bloch's Swords of Wuxia arrived over the weekend. I wanted more of a Chinese flavor to my Oriental Adventures, and I think this might be helpful. (Also going to incorporate the Mad Monks of Kwantoom, just because they're so cool! And, they're Mad!) I was disappointed to see that there aren't Armor Class Adjustments in the weapons table from Swords of Wuxia. I mean, it says right on the back, "An expansion of the first edition of the world's most popular RPG." What says "first edition" more than Armor Class Adjustments, I ask you?
Ordered a copy of this one as well
DAMNED STRAIGHT!!! I love my 1e hardcover! If you decide to run it online (something other than TEW) I'd love to play!
I only backed at the PDF level, but I think I want to pick up the corebook and Action Flicks once they start wider distribution.
That looks in so much better condition than the one I have with it's hardcover spine half off
Nice, good looking thumb! Looks like low wear on it, nail and cuticle are in good shape. Everyone should have two opposable digits! I like how you use the Black Hack book for contrast, makes the thumb really pop!
On a more serious note. Nice find. I keep hoping that DriveThruRpg will offer a PoD of it, so no that's a no go. I mean it's an adamantite seller and been on their site since 2018 and still no PoD?
I'm debating selling my box set, but it depends on the market and my mood in a few months.
Did you back Alas Vegas at some point? There was a cross-promotion that anyone who backed one would automatically get the other as well.
I'm hoping for that as well in regards to Caverns of Thracia. I'm still waiting for my books to ship. Hopefully I'll get a notification this week.
Nope. Don't think we even own anything else by Adamant.
For background, Alas Vegas was James Wallis, not Adamant, but was another Kickstarter that many thought would never deliver. So it felt like a joke many years ago when GMS and Wallis announced that anyone who had backed either of their Kickstarters would get both books when/if they ever actually delivered.
You can get the Black Hack 2e core book at Exalted Funeral for $30. Only one copy left in stock, though!
Funny thing, I've been actually searching through eBay for Talisman 2e material to replace the long lost. I bought the Fantasy Flight version and just didn't grok it. It felt so much different than the old Talisman 1e/2e. Anyhow nicely done!I got the final expansion for Talisman 2e (other than Dragons). I haven’t played with all the expansions for almost 35 years

It was one of the more popular board games we'd play when I didn't want to GM. The players were always up for it.
I loved it as a kid and still really like it as an adult. I grab for Warhammer Quest before this if I'm playing solo but my wife will actually play Talisman so it still sees a fair amount of play.
