Your book collection isn't that big, two maybe three file boxes at most.In the early aughts I had a huge collection of 1e and 2e stuff which I sold. I hadn't played in more than ten years and truly believed I would never play again. Fast forward to 2020 during a global pandemic when my teenage son drew me back into the game, which led to a six-person family game that continues to this day. I don't miss most of it but there are about a half-dozen books or modules I wish I'd kept.If you are still looking to downsize your books, this is how I'd prioritize things:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Keep the stuff that sparks joy. I kept most of my Ravenloft stuff even though I doubt I'll ever run a Ravenloft game. I love the setting, I love the moody Stephen Fabian art, I love flipping through my copy of Domains of Dread.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Get rid of old rulebooks first. It looks like you're playing a 5e game so how likely is it you're ever going to revert to 1e? If you need space, sell the orange-spine books -- you'll make some collector happy and have a couple bucks in your pocket for new books, so win-win. Donate any 5e stuff you don't want to your local library; it's unlikely you'll sell them for much because they're still in print, and you may help somebody discover the game.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Settings and adventures are evergreen across editions or even game systems. That copy of Tomb of Annihilation, which is both setting and adventure? Twenty years from now, 90 percent of that book will still be useful even if you're playing a completely different fantasy RPG. You'll have to swap out stat blocks, etc., but the story and maps will never be outdated. And definitely hold on to that copy of the Draconomicon!</li> </ul>Hope this helps and good luck with the move.</blockquote>
