Two OOP HLBS Giraffes of eBay for £4.39.

One Star Wars Universe booster in Canada for $25 which is about £12.

One issue of Polymancer for $6.95 which is about £3.30.

Running total is now £663.83

Polymancer is a new independent RPG magazine from Quebec. In some ways it’s a blast from the past as apart from the glossy paper and CGI cover artwork it could have come from the 1980s - articles on when to kill off PCs; on running swashbuckling games; on using dictatorships as backgrounds; on giving incidental NPCs personalities.

The main feature is a scenario based around an alternative history where World War II came to a stalemate due to the combined use of airships and nukes. The actual scenario is just another trip down the familiar ‘HQ loses contact with isolated base and sends PCs to investigate’ lane but the background is somewhat interesting. The magazine promises more background on their web site but I can’t find it. In fact the website - www.polymancerstudios.com isn’t very good at all. But with the current exchange rate the magazine itself may be worth another look.
