There is a British television show called: Would you rather?

The premise is basically asking questions like:

Would you rather…

Speak with an unbearably bad fake British accent for the rest of your life…

or

…Eat only bangers ‘n' mash for the rest of your life?

I thought of an Acaeum specific one of these which would be:  Would you rather...
Come home to find a gang had stolen your entire game collection and have to search through used book stores, pawn shops and dumpsters to recover it...

or

...Find that a gang had broken into your house and read through your entire collection (including taking things out of shrink) while eating Cheetos? :D

I voted Cheetos.  Whenever inquiring on Ebay about condition details, I like to ask if there are Mtn. Dew and Cheeto stains on the items.

Recovering the collection would be as fun as acquiring it in the first place:  "searching through used book stores, pawn shops and dumpsters," nothing wrong with that!

Cheetos Definately.  Since the Insurance Claim would be harder.... Outright theft would be easier to prove.

Go back to sleep, it was all a dream.

Black Blade Publishing imprint of OSRIC is not only the most definitive printing of OSRIC to date, but also the single greatest resource for old school gamers since the three original hardbacks written by E. Gary Gygax.
