Saved, thanks! There are still a lot of D&D and other fantasy role
players around. I've recently seen some awesome metal dice that are
kinda lacework. Best ones to get would be any of the fantasy and saxon
figurines, and knights.

Thanks for the site! :-) I'd have to wait tho' to spend that kind of
money once I am fully employed again. I'm personally taking another
resume' someplace tomorrow where two former co-workers are already
working and they need night techs so badly, they were considering hiring
traveler temps. :-)

Cheers!
