I thought, "The Bragging Rights thread is going really cool, lotsa great pics in there" so I decided to start a seperate thread of pics anyone has collected over the years of gaming groups or D&D advertisements. I love my collection, but I'm positive there are others I haven't seen before. Let's try it!

Here's an advertisement I just found last week... nifty delivery.

... and here's a random pic of gamers I found.

Does anybody remember the old ads that went on the back of Marvel Comics? I remember reading a few of them - it seemed like a continuing story in comic form and I never caught the end of it.

Anybody else here familiar with those...? Or even better, anybody have scans?

This week in Bratislava, Serge and Jerome learn english.
I like that they're all sitting around with cups of tea.  :lol:


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

And what better to back that photo up with, but a photo of the types of kids that got to drool over that pic...

Kudos to these guys for realizing early on the importance of a fresh box of saltine crackers, a handy steam iron, and riverdancing to the game of D&D!
