[QUOTE="khantroll, post: 5371022, member: 95652"] The answer to the question of what is too much is just what everyone has said: too much is more then your situation can bare. If you can do your job, pay your bills, spend time with your family, and still afford to by the books and play that much, then you are alright. If you can't, it is time to re-evaluate. That being said, I'll bet your recent book buying is just enthusiasm for a new hobby, and I would personally slack off. If you find you really burn through that much content, start buying again. More likely, you'll see you don't really need or want them. I can tell you that, as a group, we burn through a lot of material, and between six members we have A LOT of books. That includes two collectors, though, and one guy who buys almost exclusively PDFs. As for the thinking about it a lot...that's going to happen. A perfect illustration is presented in "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising". They do a montage toward the end where everyone is shown gearing up for the game. One girl pretends to have her pole arm from the game; another does some masochistic, kung-fu training. While most people don't go to those extreme, this is a game about possibilities and creativity. I can remember gaming in high school (man, am I old). We gamed on Saturdays. Sunday would be a sleep day, Monday we would discuss what happened, laugh and joke. Tuesday it would peter out, and Wednesday we would be busy. Thursday, though, we'd be wistfully thinking about playing. Friday we would plan, and Saturday we would game. Two of us were slightly worse then the others, thanks to the internet. We both had forums that we posted on regularly on the subject, and you might as well say that took up our Wednesday. Now it is similar, but we go drinking on Friday. ;) [/QUOTE]
