Its that time of year again.  A time when all sorts of games go on sale and those who have huge stacks of unplayed games buy even more.  A time when gamers see what others buy and wince in horror or cry with envy. 

Yes, it is time for the Holiday Sales Damage Thread!

I'll start.  I bought a boatload of stuff today because of my upcoming travel.

Matrix:
Espania 1936 + box
Birth of Rome + box
Matrix Damage = $52.92

Steam:
Underrail
Avadon 3 & Hint Book
Sovereignty
Steam Damage = $29.21

Gog
Master of Orion (new edition)
Gog Damage = $10.19

Chaosium
Cthulhu Through the Ages
Secrets of New York
Spawn of Azathoth
The Stars Are Right
Masks of Nyarlathotep
Masks of Nylarlathotep Companion
Chaosium Damage $92.08

Goodman Games
Dungeon Crawl Classics (softback)
Judges Guild Deluxe Collectors Edition (hardback)
Tegal Manor T-Shirt
Goodman Games Damage = 89.99


Total Damage thus far = $274.39

Monday will be my last purchase day.  Chaosium has everything in "the vault" 50% off.

The only "sad" part of my purchases is how many were driven by my allergies.  I have a first edition (box) of Masks of Nyarlathotep and Spawn of Azathoth but I cannot read them due to paper deterioration over 35 years which makes my allergies go nuts.  Ditto with the Judges Guild stuff.  But this time almost all purchases were in electronic form which never triggers my allergies.   :'(

On the bright side, with pdfs I can actually replace my game stuff with things I can read again without getting sick.   O:-)
