[QUOTE="Mark van Dyk, post: 1543612, member: 18160"] [b]I suppose[/b] I suppose that the amount of books one has may be taken as a sign of excitement for the game. But it is certainly not the only sign of excitement. I had only two books the entire time I played and one of them was in storage, and I dreamed of illithids and rescuing Inzeladun in my sleep... this is a sign of excitment too. Collecting books is completely unnecessary to the game. A world can live quite happily without them. It is always useful, though, to keep yourself reading, no matter what the books. I find that some of my own influences come from other books that I read (as you stated) that had nothing at all to do with the game. Having more chess boards may indicate enthusiasm, but it does not always. And it certainly doesn't indicate skill or imagination. It just indicates that you are a collector. Take the game of Settlers for example. Craig has all the expansions etc, but is he any more enthused about the game than me? Probably not. I love the game and don't even own it. [/QUOTE]
