[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 9476735, member: 17913"] Google Sheet, using different tabs to organize different system families, catch-alls, generic/non-system-specific stuff, accessories, and pawns (as in Pathfinder and Starfinder - luckily the Pathfinder wiki and so on provided lists, so I could just copy/paste those into the sheet). So I have a D&D (all editions, official stuff only) tab, an OSR tab (which might get split out so I can have a separate *Borg games tab), a tab for accessories, a tab for Pawns, a tab for system neutral stuff (books of random tables), a tab for accessories (various card sets, generators, books on mapping), a tab for Cortex, a tab for Supers RPGs, and so on. The other big thing worth noting is that I don't collect anymore. I don't hold onto things unless I'm using them, planning to use them soon, or use them as a constant reference. So I've probably sold off more RPGs than many people ever own. I just don't have the room for it. So it's all gotta fit on a single (albeit large) book shelf. That helps keep it manageable. ...Until you look at my digital library ;-) Now THAT is a beast. I use Google Drive and have a subfolder within RPGs called "Bookshelf" and then its organized by game, or rarely game system if it's a fairly contained family of games.
