RPG purchases you know you'll never use

[drquestion]

I'm seriously considering buying the new LotR RPG, and I'm fairly certain I'll never have a chance to play it. I'm hoping to use its magic system as a base for my homebrew, though

Stuff I already own:

Sovereign Stone (I was seduced by the promise of a new magic system)

Exalted (still an outside chance I might play this someday)

Cyberpunk 2020 (never convinced anyone to play it instead of Shadowrun)

The Hero Builders Guidebook.

I bought I because it was the first book to come out after the core three.

bond had a nice action resolution system. SF and KH and GW were good fun.

sorry you bought space 1889

Exalted
Shard
Marvel Superheroes
Star Trek
Hunter: The Reckoning
Pokethulu (Yes. I'm sorry. It's darn funny, though.)
And (oh, I would so love to play it, but I know I won't)
Hellboy.

Between the mini's, the card games, the board games and only being able to game once a month... They're still great to read, though. (Okay, not Marvel Superheros.)

That would be "Chronomancer," which causes my eyes to bleed every time I look at it.

Hey, I actually liked Space 1889. You want stuff that was really useless...

Cyborg Commando
Aftermath (I ran a campaign for a year or so, but it was practically unusable as a game system).
Living Steel
Gammarauders
Indiana Jones RPG (talk about railroading)
And probably a lot more that I just can't remember.

I find if I buy stuff I think is neat, I'll eventually get a chance to use it. That's what happened with Aftermath (about 4 years after I bought it, I ran a campaign),
WFRP,
Traveller,
and Runequest.

All games my group was initially against, but I found groups to play with over the years.

What's Chronomancer?
