[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9241779, member: 7035894"] If you won't be DMing for awhile, putting the miniatures and adventure books in storage is okay. 5e books are easily replaceable if needed, and since you already gone mostly digital, just keep the ones you enjoy reading - for me, that's the core rule books and the various monster books, in particular. I wouldn't get rid of the miniatures; they are easy to store and expensive to replace. Sell them if you must. Those look to be mostly plastic miniatures. I have thousands, and you don't have to be particularly precious about storing them. Because they are so light, they are much less prone to breakage and paint scuffing than metal miniatures. Just take a bit of care so that thin parts don't get bent or snapped. I keep all my plastic miniatures in workshop organizers (like you use for nuts and bolts) for the small/mediums, and stacking bins for the large and above. I only bother with foam trays for miniatures that I am transporting them to and fro, though even there I am pretty lax. Unless they are metal. But you don't need to keep plastic miniatures carefully packed in foam if you are just using them at home. Just jam 'em in tight in their bins. I seldom even bother putting spray varnish on plastic minis. Good luck with your move, and I hope you find a new group soon. Seattle's a great city; I'm just over the border in Victoria. [/QUOTE]
