Various lots on ebay

HALF!? How and where did you get those then?

German ebay. I am a collection deal afficionado. It takes a little freetime to catch those deals. Someone always needs money fast.

I've been on the fence about buying Descent 2nd edition for a long time. Because it needs an Overlord player, who tries to thwart the heroes, I was put off. The minis and tiles look nice though.
The cheapest online shop sells it for €62,-. I do however fancy the D&D boardgames (Ravenloft, Ashardalon, Drizzt) and was thinking to buy those instead. They need no overlord, and also have nice minis and tiles.

But now someone near where I live is selling a Descent 2nd ed. + 3 expansions. Main game is pre-painted quite nicely (!) and will cost me €50,-. The 3 expansions (Labyrinth of Ruin, Lair of the Wyrm, Trollfens) are new in shrink, and cost €32, €21, €18 respectively.
I'm sorely tempted to get it all.

In addition he has Claustrophobia (€30,-) + addon De Profundis (€20,-). Those also look very nice, with good components and pre-painted minis.

Everything together: €201,-
I'd say go for it all, right? Thoughts? I'm gonna go visit him tomorrow.

I gorgot to mention DragonQuest which was €30 in the above post. Went to see the guy yesterday, and DQ turned out to be the 1st edition, and there's a new, revised, better edition coming outt his month, so I decided against buying the old one.

I did however buy a game called Betrayal at House on the Hill, which he recommended to me, new in shrink with TWO extra tile packs in shrink (because the originals supposedly warped a lot) for a mere €20,-. And it's OOP too, but rumours are it will be reprinted soonish. eBay prices are still wild though for the time being.

Total cost €190,-
Acquired:
Descent 2nd edition, painted nicely.
Descent expansions new in shrink Labyrinth of Ruin, Lair of the Wyrm, Trollfens.
Claustrophobia + addon De Profundis
Betrayal at House on the Hill

I was pretty happy with that.

Did I mention he had a walk in closet with 5 shelves of games, games, games!! My eyes popped out of my skull. I wanted to buy everything lol. He also recommended Gears of War, in shrink, but I've invested quite a lot in Zombicide already, so I think I'll stick with that instead. It's hard enough getting a group together as it is.

(Still awaiting arrival of MYTH)

[Phantom07]

wow, lots of nice stuff you got!
I am also waiting for Myth. I am a bit disappointed, that we Europeans have to wait thaaaaaaaaaaaaat long. Anyway, I am curious if I will receive Shadows of Brimstone or Kingdom Death Monster sooner than Myth :-/
In the meantime I continue to paint my HQ and Nin Gonost miniatures...

Not too bad of a deal - several chests, tables, and bookshelves and others for $10.00.

I picked up a couple of these lots before, I can't help but hoard a few of each piece. The furniture in the original base set was so well made in my opinion--I think it's a part of why HQ is still a classic today.

I've thought of ways to create new tiles to get more milage out of the plastic pieces, say, a jagged stone cardboard wall for that fireplace's base, as a decorative piece/obstacle for an outdoor area.

I hope Descent 2 and the expansions work out for you. I hear one of the expansions helps the game a lot with treasure progression so that the game slows down to more of a dungeon crawl. Please post in the Other Games forums after you try them out. I don't need to tell you about the blog.

Betrayal at House on the Hill is a fantastic game, and definitely worth picking up. I love how every game is different.

Please let someone on this forum get that. A great number of minis that I wish I had the funds to grab, even though I've not even painted mine. I love me some Chaos Warriors...
