Fighting Fantasy auction

Jamie and I, alongside luminaries of the hobby such as Jonathan Hicks and Stuart Lloyd, were recently roped in on a worthy cause promoting an auction to raise funds for Mind, a mental health charity.

There are lots of signed gamebooks and RPG supplements to bid for, but the prize I'd like most would be one of Matthew Dewhurst's masterful character portraits. (The only problem is which character I'd pick out of the dozens I've played over the years.)

Other treasures on offer include The Cursed King, an adventure for Dragon Warriors set in Thuland; lots of original art; some figurines; and signed copies of The Keep of the Lich Lord, Way of the Tiger, Fabled Lands and Knightmare. Remember that before "diamond-handed apes" started lobbing bundles of cash at digital NFTs, the original collector's items were actual physical things that artists signed. That's real non-fungible; accept no substitutes.

The auction runs till the last week of February and it's being run by The Warlock Returns magazine. (I know it says on their site that it ends on January 30, but in fact that's when it started.) Take a look at the full list of items here and even if there's nothing you need you can still make a donation.
