I spent some time looking through Brickipedia last night at old space and castle sets. I had so many of the little space sets that were under $5.00. Just a tiny weird spaceship or rover thing and a spaceman. But I think this might be the only original spaceman that made it back to me.
The good news was that I think ALL my castle Legos and knights survived their 25 years in a box at the bottom of a closet.
One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't take my whole rubbermaid bin of old Legos with me when I moved out of my parents' house before getting married.
I honestly have no idea. It probably got trashed, but I don't know. And it's not like I can just call 'em up and ask about it.... I've kind of been disowned. :/ (Long story, don't ask.)
Brian Takle I shouldn't have been surprised, but I still was when I discovered you can find the instructions for just about any old set online. I could build all my old castles.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/

ReplyDeleteDid it go in a garage sale? Or worse?
