The Warlock of Firetop Mountain by Steve Jackson & lan Livingstone for $1 from Goodwill- I'm really happy with this find, I think I checked out one of these from a library as a kid and I'm curious if this is the same one.

The SEO of this 'Parsely: An Adventure Party Game' is terrible, most searches insist on autocorrecting to parsley- but the game looks fun

Parsely: An Adventure Party Game
Parsely is a hardcover book that contains 12 adventures. Inspired by old computer text-based adventure games, Parsely is a like a D&D escape room party game. And it’s a damn good party game, y’all.

More Appendix N reading: Witch World by Andre Norton - 1963
Not sure what happen to this copy, there are a lot of small indentations and the last few pages are torn but still readable.

I found this partially disassembled Lego Monster Fighters Haunted House at a thrift store for $30. It has the vampire and Frankenstein minifigures but unfortunately not the ghosts or others, and I'll see if anything else major is missing as I put it back together.

Gate II - 1990, directed by Tibor Takács- there are a lot of good moments in this but it bogs down occasionally as well

DnD with the kiddos was a blast today. Wrestled with a cursed giant squid. We are using the Little But Fierce adaptation of 5e.

Deep in the libraries of Candlekeep, a not-so-innocuous book transforms into a floating ball of ectoplasm and threatens an acolyte. Before dying it only lands a single life draining hit that nearly kills the wizard (who had foolishly tried to hit it with a ray of sickness), but all survived.

More Appendix N: Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson- the Bronson Pinchot audiobook is mostly good but the Scottish dwarf accent is nearly incomprehensible, and some of the other voices are only a little better (which I think reflects the source text)

More DND Appendix N (actually 'Appendix E' in fifth edition) reading: Split Infinity by Piers Anthony. In the future, most everyone is naked all the time because they live in climate controlled dome habitats (and are under age 30)- it's mostly fun so I'll continue on with the rest of the series

Found Stephen King's Desperation for $1 in a little beach town library on vacation a few weeks ago- read it and then 'The Regulators' immediately after.
Laughed out loud at this line: "it matters not how much you jump and dance; the last two drops go in your pants". It gets real dark after that.

Once a week, I visit thrift stores and see if there are any lots of LEGO. Today I scored all of this for about $12! It helps with MOC projects and building my LEGO inventory at low cost. My favorite is when I find vintage pieces and sets! I’ve gotten really good at sorting quickly.😆

Thrift store Lego Millennium Falcon 75257 found for $15 - it's missing some pieces, has no minifigures except for the tiny wheel droid, and no cockpit pieces (6279752 & 6276081 especially). I should be able to dig up the more generic pieces easily enough, and have a Han Solo & Chewbacca.

Appendix N reading list: 'The High Crusade' by Poul Anderson- this was fun, and quick (more of a novella really). I haven't read 'The Broken Sword' or 'Three Hearts and Three Lions' yet but will definitely get them if spotted in the wild.

Very useful parts, especially the 2/3 high bricks. The rock and masonry pieces are great for a D&D concept I've been cooking up 😅

Finding broken pieces used to make me a little sad, but now I think there's an opportunity with them, maybe something in a scene ought to be broken, it's a trap and the ground opens up- and the break is a clue the (lego dnd) players can detect. Lime green is harder, brittle browns make more sense.

"...you can't be surprised, except when incapacitated by something other than nonmagical sleep" - what? The next sentence "The weapon magically awakens you and your companions within range if any of you are sleeping naturally when combat begins." helps clarify, fortunately.
