Aww, you're too kind, Astoroth. I was going for more of a Mercurial instead of curatorial taste, but I changed my mind . . . 😁

I like the song! ... That said, if the Delver had my luck on rolling dice, the last verse should be about meeting his end on the rusty blade of some orc, and watching his blood soak into the dungeon floor while looking forward to exploring new dungeons in the next life!

This looks like the best haul yet! If ever there was a time for the luck to kick in, it would be now.

Speaking of raising your luck, Matthew, have you considered visiting the hag in the forest and having her mix you a luck potion? She will only require 30 GP and a tiny sliver of your soul. Or, I guess you could raid her cottage, and steal the elixir if she's got any pre-mixed formulas. Or, maybe you KIDNAP the hag and . . . ah, nevermind. It's probably best to avoid such dangerous expenditures and just let Lady Luck find you on her own.

I happened to be at the post office for another reason recently and bought a couple sheets of the D&D stamps while I was there. They're really nice!

J.Q. Graziano's avatar

Right on Damon! I agree. These stamps are pretty nice. If you get a chance to see/buy the UK D&D celebration stamps online, I would highly recommend them as well.

This would be so awesome... and would remain sealed for my children's future... to a time where they can appreciate the true value of what these are... they have yet to discover the elegance of book but there is still time 😁

Do you ship to winners globally or just Europe and the Americas?

J.Q. Graziano's avatar

I love it, Layne! I will pay to ship internationally; however, I limit the cost to $30. So, if you win and the shipping costs more than that, you would just pay the difference.

I just lucked upon an old Games Workshop mini of the dragon from red box d&d, still sealed. That lunch box would look great next to the old school model of it. I even picked up a mini in the same pose as the "heroic fighter" (albeit with full plate, unfortunately) to recreate the scene!!!

J.Q. Graziano's avatar

What a fantastic find, Daniel! And if you do wind up winning (or getting your own lunchbox someday) I want you to send me pics of your shrine, er, recreated scene!
