Dear self

Spending almost a hundred dollars on things that you don't need, no matter how pretty they are, isn't very smart. You did not need Munchkin Cthulhu, you have no one to play it with. You did not need the Star Wars miniatures, you have no where to put them. You did not need the Arms and Equipment Guide... well okay maybe you did, but it's highly unlikely. The new book (His Majesty's Dragon) and the Pirates soundtrack were really the only things you needed to buy.

Please be remembering that you are hopefully going to be moving out soon and you need all the money you can get.

Love

Kippur.

Silly!

No, no, no. See, ANY time you spend a hundred dollars, clearly you need everything you bought. Clearly. Incidentally, minis are easy to throw into a shoe-box and once you have a room-mate, you'll have someone to play it with... or you can coerce them into helping you find more people for it. ;D

Though I will say, the Arms and Equipment D&D guide is okay but it was written for 3.0 and not 3.5, I believe. It can still be useful but I find that I personally hardly ever use it. Your mileage may vary... :3

I like collecting the minis because they're pretty, not so much to play with them. The shoe box that I have for them is already full. Clearly I need a bigger box.

The Arms and Equipment guide has pretty stuff that could be modified for 3.5. And nice mundane equipment too.

I meant the Munchkin game, actually, but still. (I collect the D&D minis but I hardly ever play with them either.) ^_~

Oh! The Munchkin game is completely different from the minis!

I know that. I just didn't write the sentence correctly the first time, is all. I was saying you could dump the minis in a shoe box and coerce roomie into Munchkin. I just wrote them in the wrong order in the original sentence, hence the confusion now. ;)

Well, that's the important thing. Putting things in the right order. Otherwise we get confused.

Oh, please, please tell me you're going to do a chapter by chapter sporking of His Magesty's Dragon like you did for Eragon. The former book is better written (it could hardly be worse than Paolini's stuff) but it still had many moment where I was going "No, just no."

You can download most D&D manuals on P2P programs like Limewire. I do that with supplements that I may not ever get to use, but that would be fun if I did get to; or with supplements that I only want because of one chapter (anything with new Druid spells/prestige classes, for example). I save a lot of money that way.
