Because plate armor is way better than running around in a chainmail bikini. Chafes less.

In which I make some D&D and OSR geeks jealous

Look at what I found at a yard sale today.

Apologies for the poor picture quality, I had to use a webcam to take them. Anyway, I got the first DM guide and the Player's Handbook during the first visit. We went back a few hours later after everyone had finished setting up their tables and I found a second copy of the former and a module, Dwellers of the Forbidden City. The mindblowing thing is how little I paid for them - the guide and handbook only cost six bucks total (he had them marked eight apiece), while the second guide and the module were but fifty cents each.

I thought the two Dungeon Masters Guides were identical at first, but as you can probably see in the first picture, there's a slight differences with the covers, mostly with the TSR's logos and name - the first copy has TSR Games, while the second has TSR Hobbies, Inc. I have no idea when the guides and handbook were printed other than 1979-1981. They're definitely for 1E AD&D.

I'm considering doing a contest in the future with one of the guides as the prize.

I would've failed my saving throw if that guy had had the Monster Manual too.

Another comic about roleplaying? Yup.

And a NSFW one to boot.

For the OSR geeks

My first thought when I saw this picture:

"I wonder what her bard stats are?"

Not dead, just ass deep in Orcs

More posts to come.

In a Game of Tron, you win or you get derezzed

I actually had no idea whether to post it here or on Rayguns and Space Suits, but I guess it fits better here.

Here, have a lovely picture of a barbarian princess

Though, I'd wager she looks more Celtic than generic barbarian.

I like this more than some of the pictures you see of warrior women in fantasy art - hot babes in as little armor (or clothing, for that matter) as possible. I could see her riding down enemy infantry or wild game. Maybe she's patrolling the borders of her tribe's territory, on the lookout for poachers or spies.

I am in nerd heaven right now

I got this today and it is bliss. I'm currently hip deep into Baldur's Gate. Once I finish that, I may venture into a certain Temple. It was nice seeing the intro animations for Black Isle Studios and TSR.
