  1. All sorts of odds and ends: Chess sets (including combination sets that would have different ames - typically roulette, cribbage, dominoes, cards, dice, chess etc in a small brief case) bookends vintage sci fi paperbacks board games vintage speakers cloth maps - fantasy themed from video games and other sources laserdiscs and other things........ Here is one of my favorite laserdiscs (from Hong Kong)
  2. It was my experience that you wind up with more things as you get older - but they are generally different things. Maybe you will get lucky and won't make it that far. Wait a minute that didn't come out right........... You do reach a plateau where things mellow out - and you realize that things that you can't control are just that so you mellow out on those. .And when you get old enough you get to retire - which is a blast - if I had known how much so I would have done it decades before I did.
  3. That would work (after xmas though) - too much going on till then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- We generally only go to lunch on Saturdays and we have a long list of places we like so we only get to most of them once every other month
  4. Have you been to the Rock Rest Lodge? Really interesting place. If you haven't been there , the King Buffet at 53rd and Wadsworth is most excellent. It has only been open for a couple of months The Yummy Yummy Super Buffet on 44th and Wadsworth is pretty good too. What is your work schedule like - maybe we could do lunch together.
  5. Mrs. Tellurian and I went to Golden and partook in the pizza buffet at Woody's. Great food. Have any of the other Coloradans here been there? If not it is well worth a visit. Another great pizza place (it is actually a full blown Italian restaurant) that has most excellent pizza is Amicis - which is just a few blocks from my abode.
  6. I talked to B.A. about this and we thought we throw it against the wall and see if it stays there. Most game forums have an ongoing thread that is really about nothing in particular - so I could post that "I had a lousy night - I flew in from Chicago and my arms are still sore" or whatever - whoever posts next can respond or talk about turkey sandwhiches - or both. Got nothing to talk about since none of the current topics interest you - do it here. If it catches on (our version at SFC was "Bored members go to the lumber yard" or whatever - was immensely popular) the thread will end at about two hundred posts (makes it easier to moderate if/when the inevitable kerfluffles occur) - whoever starts the next one gets to pick the next title (using the same title accept changing the jeopardy category and the amount - exercise your creativity!)
  7. We have a corner of our yard that is hard to get to - the west side has a massive 3' high concrete slab bordering it while the south side has an outbuilding on most of it with another outbuilding immediately to the south of that so you have go a ways to get in behind the first out building, I bought a 10' x 3' x 4" aluminum walk ramp which I put on the edge of the slab. Cost more to ship than I paid for the ramp itself. What was your biggest sized purchase (could be weight or physical dimensions)?
  8. This! It has been my experience in life that extra cheese dramatically improves the disposition of any frozen pizza.
  9. Dark Wizard for the Sega CD. It has an amazing depth for a console game - tons of secrets to find and quests to do. A large army (40 units) that you can mostly customize to your hearts content. The biggest drawback is an AI that is generally dumber than a box of rocks - but that is a flaw that virtually all console strategy games suffer from.
  10. It is (as you probably discovered) part of the later Ace Double series. The book is so so (but with a catchy title) IIRC - the other side "The Key to Venudine" by Kenneth Bulmer was part of a series about interdimensional travel that was pretty good - 7 books (the first six were all parts of Ace Doubles) - the last one was published much later and seemed to either have been rushed or quite possibly was ghosted. There are some much better 50s/60s books out there - I can give you a list of some of the better ones (at least that I can recall) - been awhile!
  11. Other than a couple of the key players I really didn't memorize who did what. So no worries/need to apologize - and this is a new place so hopefully everyone is going to play with a clean slate.
  12. That all happened in April of 2018 - and it went down within a few days. So it would have been easy to miss I live in Lakewood (a suburb of Denver) - I actually don't drink (did when I was in college and a bit later) much - I have had . one screwdriver in the last 10 years, But when I did drink a bit more I gave up on finding someone to mak.e a decent baccardi cocktail - it is apparently a really really obsure drink for some reason
  13. Thanks! They look much more impressive IRL. I saw some ads for a sign place that does canvas or vinyl signs at a reasonable rate - I am gonna see if they can do something with my Dark Wizard maps.
  14. These are some giclee canvas maps I had made of the overworld for Golden Axe Warrior. The larger is 24" x 36" and the smaller is 11" x 17". I later had one made that is 36" x 54". Pretty certain that they are the only ones like this (unless the guy who made them ran off some copies) since I created the Excell spreadsheet myself. There are a few paper copies of the 11" x 17" one out there that I gave to people as gifts.
  15. I think they are even lower than that - Blatz. And I wanna be a keg of mead.
  16. I don't think you were - nor were you one of the mods I referred to. Hard to say if they were trying to drive me off but not being able to start threads had that effect, (And I know from adminning elsewhere that you can't keep an eye on everything. ) --------------------- As an aside (to everyone not just you) I am really not trying to dig out old wounds (mostly mine I guess) but since people were asking why I left originally I felt it had to be addressed or people would (naturally) keep being curious. And I don't think I could have functioned being paranoid about the same stuff rearing its ugly head, I am really hoping that things have changed for the better with the revamp - forums are basically dying and I find them a pretty good way to communicate - and dare I say it - socialize.
  17. Yeah - I was gonna keep a low profile in the shadows for awhile while I thought things out as to whether I was going to stay or not. But since my name was brought up I thought is would be rather disingenuous (if not unethical) to not identify myself.
