Looks like I spend a lot on support stuff like props and merch. And only the books or ebooks.
Edited. to add
So what did you spend in 2022? And are you sticking with a budget? I just dropped about $30 on jewlery supplies to make a prop.

Budget? Was is this “budget” you speak of?

Most of my purchases in 2022 have been Wizkids minis, non-WotC campaigns (Oz, Humblewood, Animal Adventures/Gullet Cove) or monster books or WW2 miniatures. I’ve only bought Mord’s Monsters of the Multiverse and Spelljammer from WotC - I’d add Dragonlance, but my order is on hold until March when the board game comes out.

Non-D&D, I’ve picked up Terminator, Transformers, GI Joe, Twilight 2000, Dead in Space and Dark Crystal.

Conversely, I recently sold all my 1E, 2E & 3E Dragonlance books - sans the original DL1-D16 - for a pretty penny. May do something similar near the release of Planescape. (It’s not a “I’m mad at WotC move”, just that I’m shifting away from physical books to digital copies for more room in my house).

I'm always amazed at how well some people track expenses like this. I have no idea how much I spend, but it is around $300. I buy a hardcover or two, 135.00 just spent for tickets to the local Con coming up, and maybe some office supplies.

I am making an initiative tracker to try out, but it is from some upcycled things like an empty peanut butter jar and some old clothes pins. I did spend the 3.00 on one of those magnets on the extendable sticks.

probably around your level, for TTRPG stuff, not necessarily D&D only (but most of it was). Would have to check to come up with an actual number

I budget 50-100 a month. Try to keep it to around 50, but that doesn't always work out. Will have an easier time next / this year as I am basically done catching up with older stuff I wanted.

I don't have the exact numbers, but approximately $800 of WotC products or licensed products (like WizKids Tiamat) and probably another $200-$400 on 3PP D&D stuff.

 

[MGibster]

I didn't keep a budget last year, but I spent more than $1,000 on miniatures, paints, and assorted hobby supplies. I tried to keep a more exact track of my spending, but failed. I'll give it a try this year. So far I've spent $12.50 on a Star Wars Legion miniature pack, Rebel Specialist.

$1,752 for 2022.

Less than in years past, mainly because I'm no longer buying terrain, minis, or other physical game aids. Also, I'm trying to only buy things that I know I will play, though there were still a few too-cool-must-have impulse purchases on Kickstarter. A recent decision to just get everything on D&D Beyond increased my spend by $414. I bought almost none of the adventures on DDB until this year. Normally I spend $55 on the master tier subscription and buy the occasional book. Anyway, my 2022 breakdown is:

$55 on annual DDB Master subscription
$554 on DDB materials. Most of this is because I finally paid $414 to just buy everything I didn't already own.
$140 for annual world-builder subscription to Forge-VTT
$53 on various VTT assets
$123 on Patreon subscriptions, all VTT content/software developers (Foundry, Moulinette, MrPrimate)
$361 on Kickstarter (Flee Mortals! MCDM Monster Book; Original Adventures Reincarnated #7: Dark Tower by Goodman Games; Asian Monsters for DnD by Legendary Games; Book of Riddles Complete for Role Playing Games by DenisS; and Board Game D20 Delving by Wizard Tower Games
$44 on Indiegogo: Deities of the Lost Lands: Gods of the Empire by Frog God Games
$75 on Backerkit Crowdfunding: Crimson Terrain by Anthony Qualkinbush
$347 to WotC for Shadow of the Dragon Queen Deluxe Edition Bundle

I'm not including gifts, especially since these were D&D themed board games (D&D Trivia Pursuit and D&D Clue), not TTRPGs, so out of the scope of this thread.

Patreons and Photoshop are ~65 to ~75 a month
DDB sub + books? Random software and Drive Thru stuff. Call that at least another $50 or so, on average, a month.

It's at least $100 CAN on average a month and sometimes higher. Call it ~$125 x 12 = $1,450 a year? Might be higher, but that's close enough. If my wife said it was $1,800 a year, I'd agree willingly.

I play online exclusively though, so the travel costs and purchases which would come even for food at a game session aren't there.

It's my main hobby and I'm a grown ass man in his 50s. If it was twice that a month (and it has been three times that much in the past) then that's fine, too.

If I played golf, it would be 5 times that a month, easy.
