With over 280 wild words and 70 oddball customers, the combinations (and fun) are endless!

ROLE-PLAYING GAMES

D&D Dungeon Command Sting of Lolth and D&D Dungeon Command Heart of Comyr

Each Dungeon Command faction comes in its own box, containing twelve miniatures, plus the cards, tiles, and rules for the game. Heart of Cormyr includes such heroic miniatures as rangers, rogues, knights, defenders, and warriors. Sting of Lolth includes such heroic miniatures as assassins, arachnomancers, sorcerers, spiders, and spiderguards.

AD&D 1E Players Handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide & Monster Manual HC
In 1974, the world changed forever when Gary Gygax introduced the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. The legacy of his innovative ideas and the extensive reach of his powerful influence can be seen in virtually every facet of gaming today. To help honor his work and his memory, Wizards of the Coast has created limited-edition reprints of the original 1st Edition core rulebooks: the Dungeon Master’s Guide, Monster Manual, and Player’s Handbook. These premium versions of the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) rulebooks have been lovingly reprinted with the original art and content, but feature an attractive new cover design commemorating this re-release. Available in limited quantities as a hobby channel exclusive in North America, your purchase of this monumental book helps support the Gygax Memorial Fund – established to immortalize the Father of Roleplaying Games with a memorial statue in Lake Geneva, WI.

PF Camp Setting Magnimar City/Monuments
Known as the City of Monuments for its jaw-dropping skyline of ancient ruins, magnificent towers, and stunning sculptures, Magnimar embodies the spirit of Varisia more than any other great city. Yet with Magnimar’s explosive growth over the last century, life in the City of Monuments has become an adventure in and of itself. With strange monsters lurking amid the ancient ruins that form the city’s foundation, roving bands of thieves, smugglers, and murderers battling for control over the city’s alleys, and the increasingly decadent attitudes of its oldest families, Magnimar lies at a crossroads. Will it succeed despite the obstacles thrown in its path, or is the City of Monuments doomed to crumble under the pressure of its own runaway success? This Pathfinder sourcebook explores the city of Magnimar (first featured in the now classic Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path) in great detail.

PF Player Companion Blood of Angels
Idolized and adored, but also regarded with jealousy and envy, the aasimars of Golarion count among their ancestors the greatest forces of good throughout the Great Beyond. They are the descendants of majestic angels, beatific celestials, and mysterious but kindly outsiders who have long sought to guide and protect the mortal realm. This Pathfinder sourcebook explores all that it is to be an aasimar, including an extensive discussion of aasimar culture and society.
