[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 2155064, member: 939"] I write my name, in small letters, right in the upper left of the inside cover on most of my books - that way I can mark them as mine amidst the many books that may float around a session. Though with my new books, I've not done it as I haven't even had time to look at them, much less game, for the past three years (law school...) I won't generally write any more than that - I like to keep my books pristine. The exception was my 1E books - I wrote in them extensively, all in pencil, all sorts of things - the most memorable to me being the extension of the experience tables for each class down to like level 40. I'm not sure why I did that, except that I like to plan things out way ahead (though I never had a character advance from 1st level to anything further than about 17th level - I had some characters higher than that, but they started higher as well) Then, years later, I went through and erased all of the stuff inside those books, though shadowy remnants of it still remain - enough to make my mark on each of those books as uniquely mine. The inside cover of each also has green label-maker labels with my full name on them - and I also had these cute dinosaur stamps - stegosaurus - that I stamped repeatedly in the covers, also as a way to mark them as mine (back when I was still quite young). Because of those touches, all through those books, the nostalgia I feel looking at them is much higher - and not as present when I look at other, otherwise identical copies of the 1E books. [/QUOTE]
