[QUOTE="delericho, post: 8638058, member: 22424"] I used to get a whole lot of stuff just because it interested me - in some cases this included supplements for games I didn't own the core book for. This then shifted to only considering supplements for games I actually owned, and then I took a conscious decision to only buy core books for games I actually intended to run. And at [I]that[/I] point I divided games into two piles - those I'd buy everything for, and those I'd buy only (or almost only) the core book for. This then got pared back further, to buying only those games I intended to run [I]very soon[/I]. Which has now been pared back to only D&D 5e. And following "Storm King's Thunder" I've basically given up on their adventures, after "Tasha's Cauldron" I've given up on their rules expansions, and after "Van Richten's Guide" I'm not interested in their settings. So I'm running out of things to buy! It's still not absolute - I backed the A5e Kickstarter despite knowing I'd never really get a chance to use it. But it's getting there. And, in the meantime, I've now culled my collection twice. The first time saw me getting rid of an awful lot of dross - mostly those orphaned supplements and a lot of games I knew I'd never touch again. Oh, and a whole lot of third-party 3.5e supplements. The second time saw me get rid of all my Pathfinder 1e books apart from adventures - I'd decided PF just wasn't for me, and in any case I have a load of them in PDF should I change my mind. The third cull, if it comes, will probably be old magazines - I'll probably keep Dragon and Dungeon, but probably not all those random issues of Arcane, and Backstab, and White Dwarf I have littering the place.
