It is no
secret that one of the great pleasures of (and, indeed, reasons behind) “Oldhammer
blogging” is getting to brag about all the rare stuff you got a sweet deal on.
Usually this involves figures, but as many will agree, collecting the original
publications is just as big a part of the
experience.
Which
brings be to the pride and joy of my Oldhammer collection:
My
collection of TEW-modules – all first editions and all in good condition. The
individual books aren’t quite as rare and expensive as, for example, The Lost
and the Damned (though the Death on the Reik box can get close), but it’s still
quite a challenge to get hold of the entire set without having to sell a kidney.
You’ll
notice that I also have the much maligned Something Rotten in Kislev (SRiK) and
Empire in Flames (EiF), mostly for the sake of completeness. I’ve never
actually run them, and if I ever got that far into the campaign, I’d probably
go down a different path anyway (more on that in a later post). Quality of
writing aside, the EiF book is an especially lovely item – quite long (154
pages), hardcover, nicely illustrated, and with lots of maps and handouts.
I also got
hold of this:
The, very
nice, omnibus-edition, comprising TEW, SoB and DotR
Why, you ask?
‘Cause there’s no way I’m letting a bunch of greasy, unkempt roleplayers be in the same room as my lovely
first-editions. Actually, I normally use a set of PDF’s, since it’s generally
easier to use, but you get the idea.
