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.

From the back cover: "Ex-colonel Simon Tregarth was a hunted man- and the hunt was beginning to come to its inevitable deadly end... Simon was forced to give himself up to the mysterious Siege Perilous... It would deliver him into a world:
WITCH WORLD"

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

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 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.

A few years ago I built this from scratch using the 7965 instructions and wasn't able to finish it, now I can find the bag with the pieces and sort them into other storage, pull out what ought to go with the newer model.

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.

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.

Also got Cosmic Encounter (alongside Minotaurus in the previous post)- I've been meaning to get it for years (probably after watching this Shut Up & Sit Down episode www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJYx...)

I can justify it for the microfigs (this latest copy is nearly complete but missing one of the red ones) which I definitely will use in some dnd, and the Lego dice (those are frustrating because two of the faces are colored tiles without dots, need to assign colors to 1 & 2 to use it as a D6)
