[QUOTE="cignus_pfaccari, post: 1826615, member: 14557"] I thought about this after Merric's thread on the 2005 releases, after I mentioned how I thought that Planar Handbook was a Hero book, as it's got the same binding that they've traditionally used for Players books. That got me thinking...I know I have a weird filing scheme, which I'll outline below, but how do other people arrange their books? (My ulterior motive is to see if there's anyone even weirder than me!) My system varies based on what's available. For D&D, I separate the books into several categories, subdivided by chronological order: * - Players Books (PHB, XPH, ELH, SS, etc*); * - Guidebooks (The 3.0 softcovers, A&EG, and the Races** books); * - DM Books (So far, only DMG, MotP, and DD...pity); * - Monster Books (MMs, Fiend Folio); * - Campaign Expansions (OA, BoED, "Monsters" & "Environments", etc***.); * - Campaign Settings (FRCS & Co., Ghostwalk, Eberron). Third-party books go on another shelf. * - Yes, 3.5PHB and XPH no longer have the standard Player binding, but their previous incarnations (since boxed up) did, so they get grandfathered in. ** - Their bindings are strangely similar to the 3.0 softcovers, so they get filed in with what would otherwise be a dead category. *** - Since the "Monsters" series involves a lot of player stuff and DM stuff, I can't logically file them with the Monster Manuals. Yes, I told you I was weird. Right now, the Environment series will be the last in this category, unless other one-shots come out. For other games, it depends. If there's a product number on the spine, I use that, even if it spurns chronological order. My GURPS books are a special case; they don't display product numbers on the spines, so I'm forced to order based on theme...it goes from high crunch (Basic, Compendia, Vehicles), going down all the way to campaign settings. Anyone else? Brad [/QUOTE]
