The splatbooks for 3e and 4e have just kept regurgitating ideas that were covered in older works. Since I dislike the rules systems and won't run them, I don't need to keep them.Adventures and fluff are a different matter.  I am keeping the PF adventure paths, and the 4e copies of Dungeon from when I was a DDI subscriber.  Story ideas can always be reused.  Frankly, this is why I buy more PF stuff than 4e these days: 4e has focused on stats over story. Rules fade but story is eternal. I have collected several supplements on the "academy of mages" theme from multiple RPG systems and multiple editions to help me come up with my future Wizard's Academy game. That's the kind of thing I keep.</blockquote>
