The Pinnacle of your Collection

[amnuxoll]

Whether you started playing D&D last month or last century, all gamers have a collection of RPG Stuff [tm] that is filling a shelf or ten somewhere. My question is, of your entire horde what is the one item that you prize the most?

My pinnacle: I have every print issue of Dungeon magazine. I started subscribing early on and loved them all. Campaigns have been built atop the stories therein and when I wasn't in a game, it was Dungeon that sustained my interest in the game. Many of the great authors got their start there. It's a wonderful thing to have.

1st ed AD&D Fiend Folio. When I was playing 1st ed back in the 80's I could not get one for love nor money. Eventually managed to get a near mint copy second hand a couple years ago. Thats my pride of place piece.

 

[S'mon]

If I could only keep one item? Eh, I guess my 1e AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide.

One...?

That's like choosing which of your children is your favorite


Darksun Dragonkings 2e is up there. It was the first cxampaign world I ever DM'd and as such it will forever have a special spot in my heart anyway.

Probably my old Thieves World box sets. They aren't worth that much and don't seem to be too rare but I love that setting.

 

[Nadaka]

Probably my collection of dragon not so mini's (Colossal red, gargantuan white, black and blue) and my ancient original copy of book 2: BlackMoore.

Hmm.. I have a lot of books, but I gotta go with the Rules Cyclopedia. It's pages are pure inspiration

The original artwork for the cover of 'The Great Beyond' by Paizo (by Wayne Reynolds), which was my first solo project. Link to the image

The original artwork for the first page of 'The Gatetown of Ecstasy' in Dragon 351 (by Jeff Laubenstein) which was my first article published in Dragon.

Deadlands: Reloaded, 10th anniversary collectors edition.
Number 13 of 1000, personalized by Shane Hensley
Hey Andrew!
"Lucky" #13 for you!
Thanks for all the help and support for Savage Worlds and Deadlands
Keep your powder dry.

Received as a gift for pushing Savage Worlds so much while working at the FLGS.

I've got older stuff, and rarer stuff, but this one book holds a special place in my heart, and on my shelf.

Value? Probably my unpunched copy of Night's Dark Terror. Vecna Lives and some of the other Greyhawk stuff would be up there (Iuz the Evil, The Marklands, etc).

And surprisingly enough, the Iron Kingdoms books are very valuable.

For sentimental value, probably my Greyhawk boxed sets: From the Ashes and City of Greyhawk. I used a TON in my early gaming days.
