[QUOTE="Atavar, post: 2846969, member: 7136"] [b]Too Many, but With a Purpose[/b] Hey there, In one sense I do have too many RPG books. I have many, many old D&D items (e.g. the various boxed rule sets, the GAZ series of gazateers, the BA, EX, etc. adventure modules). I rarely look at these anymore, and I guess I keep them more out of sentiment than actual use potential. I did use a bit from Rahasia in a home-brew adventure a couple of years ago, though. I also have many 2nd Edition D&D rulebooks. I really should sell these, but I just don't have the motivation to go through the trouble right now. My biggest vice, though, is 3.x books. At present, I have every WotC D&D rulebook published for 3.x except for many of the FR books (I think I have around 5 FR books). I even have those Diablo II D&D books.... So, I have the 3.0 and 3.5 core rules, all the splat books, all the supplements, all the Eberron books, etc. I used to read through all of them as soon as I got them, but lately I don't have the time to do that so I skim through them all and read the interesting parts for now. On top of WotC stuff I have books from a few other publishers (e.g. Arcana Evolved, Tome of Horros II and III, and I'm getting Ptolus). But there is method to my book-buying madness. I intend to get all of WotC's 3.x D&D books (except for FR) to have as reference material, and then stop buying any D&D once 4.0 comes out. My plan is to stick with 3.x for the rest of my gaming life, and have all of that material available for possible use. I hope to get my child interested in the hobby when the age is right, and I'd love to be able to spend years and years creating campaigns for her and her friends (and people my own age, too!). My theory is that, because of the OGL, 3.x will be nigh-forever useful and relevant, even if a 4.whatever comes out eventually. Plus, as long as I stick to my plan, I'll stop spending so much money on D&D, eventually. Crazy theory, eh?
