Sometimes the random factors align in a positive permutation. For the longest time, I've been wanting to acquire a Dragonbone Dice Wand. The Dragonbone was one of the first electronic dice devices that first appeared in the early to mid 1980's. It was available for a period of time but eventually they discontinued it. Periodically, I'd due a Google search to see if any were up for sale only to come up empty. That changed early this month. Noble Knight Games had a near mint white Dragonbone up for sale. It came with the instruction sheet and original mailing box. It was tested and is fully functional. The price was $575.00 plus tax ($606.62). It took a bit to get the money together, but I pulled it off. It's now a part of my RPG and dice collection.
Sometime in the past, I was doing Windows update on my desktop computer, and I thought that I had accidentally scrambled my system. The computer sat idle for some time. I purchased a Windows 10 recovery disk on eBay and got it back online. I'm not certain if I was mistaken about scrambling my computer or if the disk restored it. Either way, my system is back online.
Here's a video of an interview with the creators of the Dragonbone.
