How Many RPG Books Do You Own?

706 - Although I suspect that needs updating as I know at least two have been loaned never to come back, and I might not have added some more recent ones on.

That's just actual gaming books as opposed to stuff related to gaming, like I might have bought some books related to the Napoleonic war for when I was running Duty and Honour, etc.

It covers a wide number of systems and is surprisingly lacking in 2nd stuff beyond Birthright, as I sold loads of it off back in the day.

While it doesn't include magazine, I have a complete set of Imagine Magazine for example, it does include modules so it doesn't take up as much shelf space as you might think.

Not that many, actually. I sold or gave away most of my 3.5 stuff (I only kept the MM and Spell Compendium) and I never owned that many 4e books in the first place. I've got all the major 5e releases except for APs and Ravnica. I was too young to own AD&D stuff; I mostly read through my brother's books and he eventually bought me the Core Rules CD (which was awesome, and I think I still have somewhere, not that a modern system would likely be able to run it). That plus a few PbtA-esque games. I could probably list what physical books I still own from memory:

1) 3.5 Monster Manual
2) 3.5 Spell Compendium
3) 3.5 Eberron Campaign Setting
4) Weird Monster Book From System I Don't Know And I'm Not Sure How I Ended Up With It Honestly
5) 5e PHB
6) 5e DMG
7) 5e MM
8) Volo's Guide
9) Xanathar's Guide
10) Mordenkainen's Tome
11) Monsterhearts 2
12) Monster of the Week
13) Blades in the Dark

Edit: Oh yeah I also owned like... every Hackmaster 4e book in existence at one point, but I ended up selling those too.

The thing about lots of books, and especially hardcover RPG books, is that they tend not to travel well.

Unfortunately....I only own all the 5E Published books....no way to catch up now without my wife divorcing me for the amount of cash I would have to spend....but you can find a lot of the older stuff online/I love how they are remaking a lot of the Original D&D adventures into 5E....

WELL DONE!

40 books in total. 19 for D&D 3.5, 2 for Starfinder, 4 for D20 modern/Future, 3 Call of Cthulhu books (1 of which is for 3rd edition, the other 2 are CoC 5th edition I believe), and the rest is a random assortment of Pathfinder books and books for other systems. I have 1 random book for the Conan RPG, which is not enough to run a campaign for it. I also have 1 massive binder with 2nd edition monsters, which is my only 2nd edition material I own.
