[QUOTE="Samothdm, post: 1827756, member: 5473"] I used to have them organized by topic, such as Class Books, Spells & Magic Books, Monster Books, Campaign Settings, etc. Then I found that didn't work: * Does Bastion's [i]Spells & Magic[/i] go in the "Spells & Magic" section, or in the Class Books since it has a lot of PrCs for spellcasters? * Does [i]Magic of Rokugan[/i] go in the Spells & Magic Section, the Class Book Section (since it's mainly about Shugenja), or the Campaign Setting section? It just didn't work. Now I organize by Company, and try to put them roughly in the order that they came out so I'll know roughly where to look for them in their section. I mix my 3.0 and 3.5 stuff together - I use them interchangeably so separating them doesn't work. Hardbacks for 3.0/3.5 take up about 2.5 shelves. My smaller 1E and 2E hardback collection takes up a shelf. Soft-cover 3.0/3.5 books are in little wooden/bamboo magazine holders and take up two shelves. Older 1E/2E soft-cover books and modules are in plastic magazine holders and are in the closet because they don't fit on the shelf. Older box-set RPGs like the Basic Set, Gamma World, Top Secret, and Boot Hill are in my grandma's old suitcase on top of a book shelf in a different room. All of my Warhammer Stuff is in my closet in my old room at my parents' house. PDF files are organized in the computer and CD back-up by publisher, with a folder for each product in which I put the PDF itself as well as any notes that I've made for adventures and web-enhancements, etc. [/QUOTE]
