I went to Oakland the other day to pick up a copy of Mythus: Dangerous Journeys by Gary Gygax. Was always curious about that game. Anyway, I decided to head to Berkley and check the other game store there, a little place called Green Griffon Games. Saw some older stuff, but nothing I wanted.

I started talking to the clerk there, and as we are talking, I notice a little blue box. It looks like a miniature version of Cook D&D Expert. I ask what it is and he shows it to me. That's what it was. Bought it for $10. It even had a mini version of X1. Now, if I can just find the Mini version of Moldvay Basic...

Yeah, I've got one of those in shrink wrap. I kind of hate myself for leaving it wrapped, but when I've got the books in larger format anyway, why would I need to open it?

I have been looking to add to my Basic and Expert Mod collections and have figured out a few cool places to look. No luck on the Mods lately, but finding the mini book made my day. I just wasn't expecting it. The search continues.

Had another cool find at a game store. Was picking through some old books to get three Tokein Quest and three Steven Jackson's Sorcery game books when I found Joshuan's Almanac, a book of facts on Mystara. I love popping into these places that still sell the old stuff because you never know what you're gonna find.

Oh, how do I envy you Americans... Here in Germany, all the nice finds have been harvested long ago... I can consider myself lucky for finding *old* Ravenloft material from White Wolf at my gaming store...

Now, I was lucky to get a copy of Necromancer's Barakus for a lot less money than I had thought on ebay today! w00t!
