Hello I'm Jason

I am 39 yrs old and started playing the game in 1981. I have a good collection that I am thinking of parting with. I palyed the game for over 20 years.. sold everthing once in the 90's.. thought I was done playing. but the bug didn't go away... rebought everything again.. lol.. and now after all my stuff has been put away for the last 10 years.. I think it is time to part with the game I truly loved...

Hi Jason,

Welcome to the Acaeum. Please go to the "Introduce Yourself, Fellow Collectors" thread and tells us more about your situation. I'm sure we can help you decide if you truly want to get rid of your stuff for a second time.

Fair warning-- If you hang out here long enough, you will almost certainly get the bug to play again...

Welcome. While I personally find it sad to see someone selling their collection due to disinterest or need to make quick cash, it is good to see someone else out there still has something... gives hope to the hopeless and all that blues.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Welcome Jason!

I know how you feel. When I first got married I actually gave away a good sized RPG collection because I hadn't played in so long, and didn't see myself getting back into it. Naturally I got the bug again and ended up buying all new stuff. I've been collecting seriously (or as seriously as my budget allows) for about three years now and there are still some things I haven't been able to replace. So sell off what you have to, but don't dump anything you would really miss is what I'm saying

Don't do it, Jason. The money will last a couple of weeks. The game items will leave a permanent void.

Instead, stick around here and find a game or two.

I wish I was just 39. I guess I am one of "The Old Ones" at 53 almost 54.

Ah, but with age comes Wisdom. Though the loss of Strength, Constitution, Charisma, Dexterity and possibly Intelligence it's all good right?

I went out last night to a brew-and-view with my brother and sister, and a few friends. My brother had free movie passes...

We saw Resident Evil 3D, and it was okay (Milla jovovich still looks good... even older...). 3D movies try to be cool, but they usually suck. This one was okay, as it picked up from the previous movie (So that part was cool...).

I've never been to a brew-and-view before. I have to say that I like eating (real food) and drinking (alcohol) at a movie theater. It was half-price margarita night

p.s. We meant to see Machete, but I misread the start time. So I'm going tonight with another friend to burn off the two remaining movie passes my brother had...
