Good luck Hermit. I've been out of school for nearly 20 years and I still have dreams where I'm in class and cannot remember the answer to any questions (or I get to the class late, and the test/assignment has already been due).  Test taking is a stressful time no matter what age!  Hope you aced it.

Trying out dragontrove. They had a Holmes box set for $25 in good condition. A later print than what I really was looking for but what the hey.. If this purchase works out well they have a few other things I may grab. Sometimes ebay gets old

I've bought several things from them - and yes, eBay does get old, especially idiot sellers who cannot 1) accurately describe the item, 2) pack an item, 3) list if the item is complete or not, 4) etc. etc.

Currently, I'm only buying from other Acaeum members.  The last few items purchased here were excellent and well packed.

Had great transactions with Scathaigh and SimperingToad, helping me to fill a few holes in the collection.  Thanks guys!

Swan with two necks - Is a traditional pub and restaurant popular among real ale enthusiasts.

Hmmm...

The reviewers were bewitched?

I believe when I signed up for my first order from Lulu, I opted in for email notifications about sales, newsletters, coupon codes, etc.  Once you create an account, you can enable/disable this setting using the following link: https://www.lulu.com/account/my-account/preferences

What I have noticed is that the coupon codes appear roughly every 2 to 3 weeks with no guaranteed frequency or pattern.  Also, I am not sure if the frequency with which you purchase or the amount you purchase has any impact on how often they send you new codes.  In my case, I tend to wait and purchase several books (10 or 20+) maybe only once or twice a year; nevertheless, the coupons still keep coming at least once a month.  Oddly enough, I have not seen a February special yet.

What was it?

Doug was hosting it on his servers (his server might be down again).

Scalydemon wrote in Random Thoughts or OT Chit-Chat Thread:Anyone ever do sort of a play report thread of obscure collectible games on here?

ie. actual play experiences of games like Cavaliers & Roundheads, Titan etc etc.

Thought it would be interesting.  Thanks

I think some of the obscure games played at Garycon (Chainmail, etc) get a write-up occasionally, not here but on places like Dragonsfoot, you'd have to look around for them.

fyi, this resurfaces:
