Warhammer Stuff Looks Really Good on My Bookshelf!

One of the things I like to do is go out yard-selling, looking for a good sized box full of marketable books that are still in decent condition. I'll offer five or ten dollars for the whole box, take out what's worth putting on ebay, then set the remaining books aside, to trade in at used bookstores.

So, today I headed out to 2nd & Charles, traded in some crap and picked up that copy of Rogue Trader! As well as a Black Library 40k paperback, since buying the RPG's got me in the mood to work on my WH novel collection.

Several years ago I was over at my father's apartment, looking at his bookshelves and I noticed he had started another collection. Warhammer and WH 40k novels.

They looked cool! I mean not just that they looked like they'd be fun to read, though they did. And not just that the covers and overall design of the books were aesthetically pleasing, though they did indeed look badass!

It struck me that they looked really, really good as a collection.

I was a tad bit jealous! I eventually decided to start a Black Library collection of my own!

It's starting to get respectable. :)

"...for in the grim dark future, there is only war."

I don't know if I'll ever get around to running this. When it comes down to the wire, I always choose The Game. But, expanding my horizons would be nice and I picked this up at my favorite used bookstore, 2nd & Charles, yesterday. I had some store credit, which made it fairly cheap, so I couldn't resist. While I've never played it in any form, I've got a soft spot in my heart for Warhammer! This is mostly from reading Black Library fiction, which I've been collecting for the past few years.

I read the first chapter. Random chargen. Emphasis made on the rules being subservient to the will of the GM. d100, d10 & d5.

2nd & Charles has also got a used copy of Rogue Trader and if it's still there next week...
