[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 2845016, member: 13703"] Do any of you out there feel like that you have too many books? I recently counted my books and found that I had 62 print books for D&D 3.0/3.5E plus another 36 books in PDF form. In addition to that I have a couple of year’s worth of issues of both Dungeon & Dragon Magazines (almost all 3.0E onwards) as well as the Dragon Magazine Archive. This is just for D&D 3.x. I have many 2E AD&D books and PDF’s as well as pretty much all the books for Feng Shui and Paranoia XP. I know a lot of people on these boards have many, many more books than that. The point of this thread is not to make this into some sort of competition. I just look at the number of books that I have and think, “Why do I need so many?” At the same time there are a number (albeit very small number) of books out there that I want to buy, such as “Bard’s Gate”, “Rappan Athuk Reloaded”, “A Magical Society: Silk Road”, “PHB 2”, etc. I don’t understand why, on one hand, I have more books than I could ever possibly use yet, at the same time I want to buy more. Is it modern age materialism? Ddo I want to explore as many different options as possible in the game? Are there just too many cool products out there? Or am I simply just plain greedy? I don’t know the answer to that question or the one that I posed at the top of my post. Maybe it is a combination of a lot of reasons, rather than just one thing. I just find it strange. Does anyone else feel the same way or have any thoughts on this issue? Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
