[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 7556566, member: 13703"] So I've just spent the last few days cataloging in an Excel spreadsheet all of the hard copy RPG books I own. It was quite an interesting exercise. I was a little surprised to find that I have 253 RPG books in my collection across about a dozen different systems. If each book cost me an average of $40 AUD ($29 USD), that would be a bit over $10k I've spent on those books. In reality, my average spend is probably much higher than that as I've got some expensive items like Ptolus, Horror on the Orient Express (Kickstarter edition) and The Blight in my collection, which were all over $100 USD each. And let's not even get into my digital RPG collection! :o It was surprising to see the page count for each system. For example, I've got 2,000 pages of Feng Shiu books (a rules light RPG!), nearly 2,500 pages of CoC books and 2,700 pages of Paranoia books. The biggest page count by far is my 3.E/3.5E D&D collection. If I only count WotC books, I have 10,000 pages alone, with 3rd party publishers contributing another 11,000 pages on top of that! The jewels in my collection are probably my 4 volume set of the Encyclopedia Magic from 2E D&D, Monte Cook's Ptolus (gorgeous book) and the 624 pages of trappy-goodness in Grimtooth's Ultimate Traps Collection. So what about yourself? How many books have you got in your collection and what are your most treasured items? [/QUOTE]
