No photos, unfortunately. I'll have to dig around the interwebs looking for a stock photo.

But since the wife and I both tested positive for the global plague, I have had a lot of time the past week. :(

Oh heck - hope you've just got mild doses of it and get rid of it soon - gaming is a great cure :-)

Attached is a stock photo. Sorry, it's 10, not 8 maps!

Mailman just delivered these two - especially happy to get my hands on a good copy of Afrika Korps!

Awesome, Bison.

BC - I have Afrika Korps, its the first wargame I ever brought - around 1966(ish). the box died but I still have all the components in good shape.

Not too bad. Headaches, fatigue, and body aches mostly. Yes, I have found reading and playing AD&D to be a great relief.

We've been keeping isolated as much as we can, other than essential trips, but it does get to be a strain after all this time. Not seeing our grandkids hurts, although we keep in constant touch with them using video call, also same goes for our son.

I think that we are lucky insofar as we have hobbies such as gaming to keep us going and help keep us sane (more-or-less).

Complete isolation is not a natural state of existence for humans and certainly gets old fast.

I've done some pretty intensive MtG deck building in recent weeks :-)

We put out all 8 poster-size map sections for the Waterdeep the city boxed set for AD&D the other day. Holy cow is it one of the most impressive and simultaneously impractical D&D kits ever.

yeah, I did it in our garage back in South Carolina just to see what it'd look like.  It's REALLY cool to lay it all out, but good God does it take up a shit-ton of space!

It's massive. I am currently looking for a double-sized poster frame to hang my Greyhawk map on the gaming room wall. The map is in pristine shape and I think it will be awesome to put some colored stickers on the plastic/glass to track the campaign.
