[QUOTE="buzz, post: 1044111, member: 6777"] This is almost the same as what I was happily griping about [URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58689]in this thread[/URL]. Not only do I have too many gaming books, but I feel compelled to use them all! :) Normally, I buy pretty much everything and anything that WotC puts out for D&D. However, my lack of gainful employment curtailed that around the time that [i]Fiend Folio[/i] was coming out, so the only WotC products I've bought since then are [i]Urban Arcana[/i] (which was a bummer) and the 3.5e books. I also have [i]Arcana Unearthed[/i] on the way. Still, between WotC, Hero Games, and various other publishers (I tend to cherry-pick; HERO and WotC D&D are the only lines I currently buy w/o question), I now have about a foot-and-a-half wide swath of books I have yet to read sitting on my gaming shelf. Like Bagpuss, I'm trying to force myself to read through what I have now before I buy any more. I've also been seriously considering scaling back on what gets "deemed worthy" for purchase (at least, for full-price, brand-new purchase). It's not easy, though. I'm simply amazed at how many great products are coming out. The current biggies on my upcoming "must have" list are [i]Fantasy HERO[/i], [i]Gamma World d20[/i], [i]Tekumel[/i] (Tri-Stat), and [i]d20 Future[/i]. I'm also pretty curious about [i]Exalted[/i], [i]Witchcraft[/i], [i]Midnight[/i], most all of the recent Penumbra line, GR's upcoming [i]Dragonfist[/i], [i]Cthulhu Dark Ages[/i], [i]Heroquest[/i], and the revised [i]Delta Green[/i]. I swear, the gaming publishers are conspiring to bankrupt me. :) [/QUOTE]
