1. Strat's Library
2. ExTSR's Garage
(Although I bet he's got a mountain of interesting stuff on old diskettes too)
3. Improv's Rares
4. Mars' non-TSR D&D Collection
5. Faro's Esoteric Ephemera

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

+2 This.

I would settle for a tour of ExTSR's garage though. Maybe he should sell tickets

It's not in the garage any more. Nowadays it's storage units.
They're under an alias and not in the same area as my residence, tho
(just in case mad gamers hack the records for such).

That's actually a little disappointing. I would have figured you would have one of the devil face traps from the throne room in The Tomb of Horrors that sucked any interloper into it and teleported them to the police station naked. That, to me, would be much more worthy of you.

Like any good Dungeon Master, I will not reveal the number or nature of the traps involved.

Don't forget Beasterbrooks magazine collection. Counting just the stuff I've shipped to him the last few years as a tiny percentage of what he owns, it's got to be massive and varied (and I've seen his lists, both what he has and what he's still looking for....sheesh!)

Pretty much the same for me. There are quite a few other RPG related items out there that have nothing to do with D&D, AD&D, etc. that I would rather have as my top 5 most coveted items. But since were sticking to the formula of the thread, here is mine:

1) RPGA 1-4 (yeah I know they are four separate items but I dont care)
2) 10th Anniversary Collector's Set
3) Lost Caverns of Tsojconth
4) Jade Hare w/cover
5) The Dwarven Glory (1st print)

If I could pick a sixth item it would either be a mint, shrinkwrapped MSOLO2 Maze of the Riddling Minotaur to go with my near mint, shrinkwrapped MSOLO1, Gygax's handwritten notes for WG4, or Frank Mentzer's kringle recipe. :chef:

Ah, yes. I forgot about those. More importantly,

6. Brette's Secret Stash of Rare and Obscure Tourneys
