[QUOTE="Cruentus, post: 8942138, member: 7034645"] I had multiple 6-shelf bookcases packed with RPG's, supplements, Dragon mags, novels (11 boxes of fantasy novels off to the used book store), etc. from 40+ years of playing. Then warhammer and tabletop gaming, then... over a couple of moves, and a general purging, I'm down to two bookcases, and only 1/3 are RPG, 1/3 are tabletop minis, and 1/3 are novels. I've had to pare down and curate my collection. Unfortunately, I also tend to go back and re-buy things I had, because there was something I remembered in it, and just had to buy it... Now with PDF's, I have sooo many, they have their own storage system. Problem is its harder to find that pdf to get the nugget of info I need - was it in X, or Y, or C supplement/book/advenure? I always found it easier to peruse the bookshelves. I think that "collector/hoarder" element is in all of us, it just depends how it manifests. I've had to really think consciously about what I do buy, and where its going to go, and what is going to leave if I do buy it. Oh, and walking away from the computer when I just need to buy this thing. Usually even 30 minutes later, it wasn't so pressing and I never buy it. LoL. [/QUOTE]
