About 5 years ago I bought a SW Tales of the Lance boxed set. At the time, I did not notice anything amiss and dutifully shelved it. Earlier this year, I went carefully through my collection and re-organised it all. At that time I noticed what I thought was a pen mark under the SW. I made a note to check it carefully.

So now I got around to doing this. Yep, it was a pen mark. So I took off the SW and lo and behold one of the 3 maps and the DM screen is missing from the set!

To quote a Richie Rich comic I bought when I was about 8 years old "Ding dang the bling blang nockle-de-wock"

Anyone got some loose Tales of the Lance pieces?

Hi,

downer.  :(

One of the booths at Gencon Indy had a lot of shrink-wrapped stuff, and I thought some of looked a bit suspect.

Some items were quite old, but the shrink seemed new and flexible.

Sometimes slightly tatty, or crispy shrink, is a good sign.

Cheers,
Malc

Not really. But in case you choose to get rid of the incomplete stuff, I am still in need of the character booklet (the one with the undead knights on the cover). I lost it many years ago and never managed to replace it.

Thanks, but there's not what I need.
