I'm not exactly sure, but I guessed around a hundred - almost all of it is Traveller, though, with maybe twenty or thirty other gaming products.

I tend to buy a lot of history books for gaming, however; my collection of material on 17th century France is easily forty or fifty volumes at this point.

Colossal.

Is that Dark Tower on top of the third shelf from the right? The old board game with the electronic tower that spins around? I loved that game when I was a kid!
 

Colossal. Most of what I own are RPG books. But after moving eight times in the past three years I am getting really tired of it all. I only use a small fraction of it.
 

Is that Dark Tower on top of the third shelf from the right? The old board game with the electronic tower that spins around? I loved that game when I was a kid!

Oh yes. Sitting on top of it is a copy of MB heroquest (and on top of that is Dragon Strike, and below it the Dungeon Boardgame).

One of my other favorite things is the 21st century mini copies of the 1e books (each small enough to fit in a shirt pocket), sitting on the right set of shelves, middle bookcase, 2nd shelf down (the orange band with the light blue mini expert set on the far left, and the boxed set of mini dragonlance modules in the black case to their right).

Here's a closer look at the bookshelves on the right...

As a side note, in the furthest right bookshelf, on the bottom visible row at the far left is a pre-3E copy of Kingdoms of Kalamar - I picked it up about 1994 or so. I also had a copy of Empire of the Petal Throne (partly visible in the lower left full-sized bookshelf), but I sold it. I also managed to latch onto a copy of the Citystate of the Invincible Overlord and some associated modules/boxed sets (also half-visible on the bottom shelf of the leftmost full-sized bookcase).

Hmmm. I said "Large", thinking just about my books, but I forgot to consider adventures and magazines, which easily takes me to Gargantuan. Then there's my 1000+ plastic and metal minis....

Oh yeah, I never thought to include magazines. That pops me up from Large to Huge, at least.

Of course, right now I'm suffering because of it - I'm in the middle of packing up my house contents to move.
 


Without doing an actual count, I think that, these days, I am near the top of the medium range or just over (thanks to Dragon Magazines).
