I got a psychological question for you folks (not sure I'm on the good sub though, mods feel free to move). I got a similar question last year but it still bothers me.
Since a few years, I started to buy TTRPG books. At first, I was DMing a few games but I noticed that I don't even do that anymore. I like to purchase TTRPG books for the settings and the lore, not really for the rules or to play with them. Though, I got bored quickly and I'm looking to purchase another TTRPG book after a few weeks.
I'm trying to understand "why" I do that. I got shelves of lore books that I don't read. Why not just simply read novels (I do that as well)? It's like I want to recreate all the world describe in the lore books but I don't have that kind of brain power anymore (aging I guess). So I wonder why I purchase those books, is it simply nostalgia ? For collecting them ? Can you relate to this?
Thanks! And happy new year!
