beccaelizabethI saw one of prokopetz tumblr posts about trying to find the earliest reference to d66 and the trouble it takes to hunt down a particular issue of White Dwarf
and I wondered, which issues do I actually have? they're on the shelf behind the bedroom door so I rarely see them and haven't figured out how to librarything them. but I now have photos, and yep, I have 105 September 1988. 103 might even be when I started buying them, I think the half dozen earlier ones were acquired as back issues. Last one I have is 197, I'm not missing many back to 122. Missing 129; 131; 141; 143; 149; 153; the rest seem continuous. Before that scrappy, I have like 14 issues. 112; 111; 110; 109; 106; 105; 103; 89; 87; 69; 68; 67; 66; 65. I think before 103 is back issues because after that they have all the hallmarks of being in my backpack a lot.
Oh wait, I also have 99, I just filed it with the DnD books because I used it for random tiefling features, iirc.
It's not that tumblr or dreamwidth needs to know, it's just prompted me to check so I may as well write it down.
It's just that while I am aware of the linear passage of time it seems weird that things I bought at the newsagent are hard to find. Even if the newsagent in question closed long ago.
