They'll make a gamer of me yet

[stacer]

My welcome packet contained (in addition to much, much paperwork):

D&D Basic Game
Years of Adventure (30 yr anniversary book)
Clone Strike Starter Set (SW minis)
D&D dice set
Duel Masters starter set
GI Joe 2-player starter game
City of Towers (Eberron book 1)
Dragoneye Expansion Pack (D&D minis)
A set of Magic cards (Kamigawa--Spiritbane)
and several small packs of cards, like Star Wars RotJ, Neopets, and Magic Unhinged
oh, and the New Jedi Order Sourcebook and the Epic Level Handbook for D&D.

And I have a handful of other sourcebooks at my desk, because I'll have to become at least nominally familiar with the game so I can edit the books. So, maybe one of these days, I'll know what you guys are talking about!

[Entsuropi]

Hahaha!

Though I must admit it's kinda worrying when the starter pack includes the epic level one... that's more power than you'd normally expect a novel to contain :/

[Fellfrosch]

It's especially funny that they gave you GI Joe, since they discontinued that game. Unless there's something we don't know....

[stacer]

I don't know anything about that, and if I did, I couldn't tell you. All I know is they gave me stuff that's out, so it's probably just an old one they had lying around.

[Spriggan]

Too bad you didn't start working there in November so you could have gotten a giant AT-AT.

[stacer]

Sprig, you play SW minis, right? You have any need for the ones I have?

[Spriggan]

na, I bought one of those when it came out and every one is the same.  Fell might though.

[stacer]

K, Fell, if you see this, tell me if you want them.

[JP Dogberry]

....

I want your job

[42]

I'll take them, though I just started playing.

[Spriggan]

Its got some good figures 42, both Obi-won (the good version) and Jango Fett.

[stacer]

They're yours, 42. If I don't make it down to Utah in the next couple months, I'll mail them to you. I'm going to worry about finding an apartment before I figure that one out.

I totally need that job now

[Spriggan]

think Geek is hireing SE, too bad you don't have marketing training or you could work for a company that puts "An appreciation for Star Wars, good beer, dogs, monkeys and occasional gaming marathons is a plus." as one of it's job requirements.

I actually could PROBABLY get that job, since Fairfax is even nearer than where I currently work. I've seen the listing many times before, and each time pass. I don't reckon think geek will pay me more than I'm getting right now, and who WANTS to write marketing (no offense anyone).
