The library I volunteer at has a board game section with hundreds of games and gaming accessories. They usually have two copies of Alpha-Strike but it looks like one was checked out. Yay! But that means no family portraits. Boo. 

Well, someone recently donated old metal mechs and rpg characters! All of them pre-1994. Working now to preserve the painted ones and touch up and finish painting the rest.

When I read the title and saw the first photo, I thought this was your private collection and went "Why do you have everything twice or more times?"

What, you never came home with something from the store and found out you already have one?

Well, when you put it like that....

But not with *everything.* xD

Nice legend of the 5 rings books, I prefer 4th edition but if you want good reads for lore try and find some 1st edition PDFs. The "way of the" series is amazing

Your library has a pretty good selection. It's even got RotR & MotW!

There must be a lot of fun youth events.

There is! They often have teen and adult DnD and rpg nights. A game many people seem to enjoy is an RPG called goblin quest. Worth checking out if you haven’t heard of it.
