Rate my bookshelf

I rated the shelf. I like the color & style.

 

[Lanefan]

Shelf: functional.

Contents: strong enough fas regards 3e and 5e; nice smattering of 2e and other RPGs, noticeable lack of old-school (1e and earlier).

No such thing as a bad game shelf!

Though yours renews my regret that I only backed DCC Lankhmar at the PDF level.

And from the misaligned text on the spine, I presume that's the PoD version of the Rules Cyclopedia, correct?

You get top marks for having the Planescape box set. You could have used toilet paper filling the rest of the space and I’d still make it top for that!

 

[Doug McCrae]

An impressive collection, @RogueRonin. You own lots of stuff I don't and some products I've never even heard of.

Your main areas of interest seem to be:
D&D
OSR
Star Wars

I also see Eyes of the Stone Thief, Numenera, Shadowrun, Shadow of the Demon Lord, and Mutants & Masterminds.

Let's see some other people's shelves in here!

Yeah it's the PoD version

The shelf itself looks sturdy enough, and at the moment well stocked.
The contents seem a bit haphazardously sorted, but quite varied.

Let's see some other people's shelves in here!

The bag on the left is my original B/X books, B2, and T1. The only one of the 1e books that is my 1st copy is the DMG. The bag on top is the Tome of Mighty Magic from 1982. The two before Volo's Guide are Seas of Blood and Jade Dragons & Hungry Ghosts. The book on its side is Traveller. The one at the end is Mummy, 2nd ed.

I have a box in the basement full of old character sheets and campaign materials, Gamma World 1e, Star Frontiers, and a bunch of old Star Fleet Battles things from the 80s. I have 13th Age & Trueways, Rogue Trader, Fate, a dozen+ of PF things, and a few others by e-copy. Tons of other stuff was sold off over the years (wish I had kept the MM and MM2 from 1e just to have; don't miss the 3.5 and 4 stuff).

Only the 5e is getting current use (except as reference when looking things up for threads here). My 11yo has five more 5e books (although not an MM or DMG yet, so he borrows mine usually). I think flipping through the Bestiaries when he was small is a part of what hooked him on wanting to play. If this was a TPB/HC comic reprints and graphic novels I'd have a bit more to show

I need a bigger bookshelf..

The bag and the "box" underneath it is Shadowrun stuff (everything for 1+2e and some stuff for 3+4e). Then I also have 1/2 to 1 shelf-lvl more of other stuff that doesn't fit (Mostly various Swedish games that I have proofread).

 

[crazy_cat]

Planescape and Ptolus - they're Pretty good on their own!

 

[Lanefan]

I've got stuff scattered all around the place.

Behind my DM seat are shelves full of rulebooks and adventure modules; difficult to photograph as there's too much stuff in the way. Behind me where I'm sitting is a shelf full of boxed sets and non-D&D RPG bits. All over the gaming area there's shelves covered with character pieces, monster minis, and assorted gaming props; and there's also shelves, boxes, and filing cabinets containing various player-side material (mostly character sheets) and archival bits from my old campaigns.

Amazing what one slowly accumulates in 35+ years of doing this...

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

One corner of my gaming den.

 

[Bilharzia]

I don't know what the hell you think you're playing at, but every single one of those shelf labels is blank. Fail. 0/5 take it down and do it again.

 

[R_J_K75]

Better than mine. One collapsed and almost went through my 3rd story window into my neighbors driveway last month.

 

[Doug McCrae]

Top shelf again but less blurry:

 

[Cadence]

@Doug McCrae So many intact boxes!

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

Extra points for being so tidy. My shelves are shambolic messes. The 5e stuff is decently organized, but everything else could really do with some proper organization.

 

[R_J_K75]

This thread is really making me wish I hadn't sold a lot of my RPG books over the years.

 

[Ath-kethin]

These photos are both incomplete and outdated (I sold all my 3.x books last weekend), and to the left I have a bunch of 5e and Tails of Equestria stuff

But I'm jumping in on the zeitgeist here.
