[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 8992837, member: 725"] Maybe this sounds familiar? You've been in RPGs/Wargaming for a LONG time (~35 years in my case) and your collection has been growing over the years, you've moved to a larger place, more space for your hobby, etc. But eventually that abundant space fills up again... You start stacking books in places they don't belong... I've got ~33 meters (~110 feet) of book shelves dedicated to RPG/Wargame books/magazines, those have been full for years! I've mostly stopped buying physical books altogether and my (legal) pdf library is already huge, but occasionally I have a weak moment and buy some [I]more [/I]physical books for my collection. All of my novels, and 95%+ of my comic/graphic novel collection is already in boxes... Not to mention my large collection of board, card, and miniature games... I've started culling some stuff. Especially the D20 glut era books. Recently there was a Bundle of Holding with a bunch of Mongoose old books, I bought that with in the back of my mind "I can finally toss those books!"... I just bought another pdf bundle on DTRPG to be able to toss another couple of Mongoose D20 books. 20 years ago, I might have bought just about every D20 release that was available around here (Netherlands) some of it isn't exactly high quality... Things like my 2e/3e/4e D&D collection I won't ever touch, the same goes for my FASA era Battletech, Renegade Legion, Shadowrun, Earthdawn of the WW era Vampire stuff, etc. It's weird, I've always been attached to my books, but as you get older (46), you start to realize that there have been periods of your life that you were not collecting the greatest quality books and that, if you're honest with yourself, aren't as attached to as you were 10 years ago... So I'm wondering, how are others culling their (RPG) game/book collections? Or is it 'normal' to eventually wind up with a library/warehouse? [/QUOTE]
