How many 3.5E books do (did) you own?

[Ydars]

On another thread I got thinking about estimating the purchasing power of EN Worlders collectively, and so decided to post this poll (my first). So come on ENWorlders; declare the depths to which your obsession plunged.

Please also note that I am asking how many books you had at the height of your 3.5E obsession, not now (if you sold your books to Ebay). Please include all books (WoTC and 3PP).

Please count a year of subscription to Dungeon and/or Dragon as 6 books (each) because of the rough price these cost.

Not counting any of the 3rd party stuff, of which I actually own more, 86.

I honestly don't know.

I own every non-setting-specific 3.5 book ever published, every Eberron book, and about half the Forgotten Realms books (and I'll pick up the rest of those eventually, and I'm not even a FR fan). I subscribed to Dragon from issue 275 to its print cancellation, and to Dungeon for about a year less.

If you count adventures, I would conservatively estimate that I own 100 third-party books for 3.5. I currently subscribe to Pathfinder adventure paths, modules, and Companion.

It's a damned lot of books, I know that. The only good thing about 4E for me is the wonderful packed wallet I have now, IYKWIM.

WotC 3.5 titles? Around eight or nine when I bailed on the system - all but one or two were sold off years ago.

Third-party 3.5? Just a few, all but one sold off.

Please vote; some of you responding don't seem to have done so!

100+ easily for d02

edit: i have duplicates of some. like the phb, dmg, and mm b/c i bought them separately. and i bought them as a bundle. and i bought the gen con version with a carrying bag. and i bought the special leatherbound ones. and i bought the paperback ones. and i bought the players boxed sets and so on...


edit2: i also bought all the novels. and all the music CDs. and all the bumper stickers. and all the t-shirts...

I own all WotC books with the exception of the 3.0 PHB, MM, DMG and a few FR books. I just did a quick count of only WotC + Dragonlance and came up with 91. I also have tons of 3pp adventures, campaign settings, splats etc. When all is said and done, I may well be over the 200 mark.

As Jeff said after deciding to not continue buying 4e stuff I have lots of money. ... which is being spent of CoC books now, instead...

We just can't stop buying, eh? It's not a real hobby if you don't have to invest money in it, i suppose.

I'm still working on finishing my "official" collection, but I do have 101 3.X books. I voted 50-100 though because I don't count the Dungeoneer survival guide as a book.

On my next buy list:
Savage Species
Tome of Horrors 1,2,&3

Edit: I'm also not counting my PDF books.

26, all WotC.
