Doesn't ring a bell. There doesn't appear to be too large a collecting community in this area, so I don't meet many other collectors around.

Well, I found his address on Atariage and sent him an e-mail. It would be cool to find another collector here, since they seem pretty rare. It would make me seem less weird to my friends. :-D

If any of you IL gamers want to join a mailing list for people in IL and surrounding states then E-mal:
AVCIL-Subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
This list was orginally stated when the first run of battlesphere was released
and a bunch of us would like to start a meeting of sorts. (that when it orignally on listbot)
I'm still going to try to plan meeting for the local group, but thats still
up in the air.

My husband and I have started a level one 2nd Edition game everyother Saturday night. My husband has 10 years DMing experience and I have 4 as a PC. The other 3 players are kinda new to the world of RPGs, so we are starting off kinda slow. We are looking for 3-5 more players to join up with us. Our night starts around 4pm and we play until about 11ish. We do have a few drinks, so please no one under 21. (average age is 30) If you would like more info please email me at dlwogelius@yahoo.com. Our next night will be June 3rd.
