How many books do you own?

[K'Plah Q'Houme]

It occours to me that playing roleplay often corrosponds with gathering a lot of material (no Sherlock...). Many of us guys are collectors, wich is also a big part of the hobby. So I was wondering how many books you guys own (d20). I have about 30, I think thats a lot (so does my girlfriend...), but i'm sure that many of you have a lot more. It would be interesting to know how many sources other D&D players have available... so let me know: How many books do you have?

Oops

Misread the post and replied how many RPG books I had (100+). D&D is probably 'only' 20-30.

Well under 10.

Now how many do I wish I had? More than I can count. How do so many third-party companies stay in business? There aren't THAT many gamers, I can't believe they are all selling enough of all those sourcebooks to keep on churning them out. Not that I'm complaining. If I'm complaining about anything it's that there are too many books I want that I know I'll never be able to afford.

I own 230 D20 books and 72 D20 PDFs.

I need some more shelves...

I think there was a similar poll some time ago... a little bit more representative cause it allowed to choose "less than 50", "50-100", "100-200", "200-300"...

I'm not 100% sure how many, but half a year ago I had more than 300 already.

I have just about 100 d20 books, including pdf's, and books that are dual stated(deadlands & silver age sentinels)

I have 50 d20 books, but I plan to sell 5 to 10 of them I am disatisfied with, and the last four are ordered but not yet shipped. I have decided to stop my purchases now, but alas I already think of buying Beyond Countless Doorways and d20 Past...

A quick count in my head got me to 31, so I voted 30-60, although I am sure there were quite a few I missed I am probably still in that band.

Although, if we were counting all RPG books, I would easily be in the top category several times over.

i had 3, the DMG mystirously disappeared one day, so now its 2.
i friend of mine that plays D&D with me has something like 30, which in my opinion, is LOTS.

Geez, how do you guys afford it? Is gaming your only hobby? Maybe I just suck with money.
