How much $ per month do you spend on Gaming?

[T-Bone]

I voted $101 to $150.

I subscribe to many of Paizo's rpg lines which nets between $60 to $120 per month. Plus I have been catching up on older paizo modules and campaign books at a slow pace.

Then there's the occassional D&D miniatures booster, or some new rpg accessory that I decide I MUST have. (damn you Dapper Devil!)

Most of my money these days is spent on printing character sheets. I go through a printer cartridge every couple of weeks. We only play 1 on 1 gaming normally, cause we can't find other players locally that actually show up so we easily do 6-8 encounters a session. Sometimes more since it is just the two of us. There are three characters and normally level every other session. We normally do a full module in a couple of sessions.

You're killing our forests!

I rarely bother printing new character sheets just because I leveled up once or twice. Unless the character underwent significant changes, I'll just make the necessary adjustments by hand.

I voted $76-$100. However, as I am in Australia, my actual spending is a lot lumpier than that so that I minimise shipping costs. For example, I hadn't bought any gaming stuff for a couple of months, but I put in a $120 order at one of the Black Friday sales just on.

Overall it probably works out to around $1000 over the course of a year. I have noticed that, since 4E was released and I decided to stick with 3.5E (for now at least) what I spend my gaming money on has changed.

Previously my spending was on books and minis. Now my spending is on a few books to round out my 3.5E collection, any adventures (like the current Paizo AP) that grabs my attention, minis, dungeon tiles, soundtrack CD's (background music for the game) and Hirst Arts molds (to create terrain for the game). My spending on my other major hobby, Blood Bowl, has also gone up since I got of the D&D supplement treadmill.

Edit: I forgo to mention that I also buy most of the Paranoia books released. That helps up my purchases, although they still remain very lumpy.

I spend more on gas getting to and from games than I do on books!

Direct expenditures on gaming products? Maybe five to ten dollars for a .pdf every month or two.

Indirect expenses, like history books for running my Flashing Blades campaign? Anywhere from twenty-five to one hundred fifty bucks in a month - academic history books are 'spensive!

It depends- on a month with no releases I'm interested in, it might only by my CS account here and DDI (which might be going soon), while a good month with multiple releases that I like might see me spend a couple hundred bucks.

I'm an ebay fiend and a fairly frugal sort so my exepenes sit in the 20-50 a month block, though I'm usually getting stuff at a quarter or less MSRP.

Probably $100, maybe $150. It depends on how you break it down. I game relatively close to work two nights a week, so I grab dinner out those nights. When possible, the SO joins me for dinner Thursday nights before her class. So dinner runs from $5 to $40, depending. My DDI account is steady, and I usually spend $10 - $30/week because I game mostly at game stores on smaller-yet-fun stuff. Add in books and minis when a release happens I want and it spikes.

It's rare for me to spend more than $150 a year on gaming materials, especially in the last 5-6 years. I probably average around $10 a month (one book every 3-4 months). If you count in the books that are on gift lists, spent on my behalf, I still doubt it cracks $25 a month.

It definitely tapered off in my mid-30s. So I agree with the age assessment part. I'm still playing, but I'll never manage to use everything I have now, if I live to be 200.
