[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8477834, member: 42040"] Really quick summary of my situation. Got married, moved into a smaller house, and I no longer have room for [I]everything[/I] I've accumulated over the many years I've been in the hobby. Or I should say [I]hobbies[/I] because it includes not only RPG books, but also terrain, miniatures, wargame armies, board games, related supplies (paint, brushes, dice and more dice, large rolls of battlemaps, markers - you get the idea). I'm looking for suggestions about how to prioritize what stays, what gets put into attic storage, what gets sold/given away. I might have too much personal attachment to some of these items to make a good decision, and my wife is concerned I might do something rash. First off, I'm not playing in person in the immediate future. That means everything [I]could [/I]at least go into storage, since all my RPGs are on VTT. I do like reading physical books for inspiration from time-to-time, however. So, I don't want to put everything into the attic, and obviously don't want to sell/give away everything. Here are some categories: 1) Board games my wife and I play together (Wingspan, HeroQuest) 2) RPGs I'm currently playing (Monster of the Week, D&D 5e, WFRP) 3) RPGs I have played somewhat recently, but don't think I'll be coming back to play - at least not for a while (PF2, Call of Cthulhu, Savage Worlds, OSE) 4) RPGs I don’t anticipate ever playing – and don’t really read for fun (Fantasy Trip, Palladium, Shadow of the Demon Lord) 5) RPGs I may never play but are at least inspiring to read from time-to-time (Forbidden Lands) 6) Full Warhammer 40K armies (haven’t played in three years, my friends have moved on to other hobbies, everything I have is also out-of-date) 7) Board Games I played once and didn’t like (or don’t see me playing again) 8) Miniatures (I love collecting and painting them, but since I’m not playing in-person, don’t really “need” them for active games); miniature painting is a pretty major hobby for me. 9) Adventure modules I’ve already used (Rime of the Frost Maiden, Tomb of Annhilation, etc.) What do you think? Shelf? Storage? Sell? [/QUOTE]
