However, it's much harder to lose stuff as an adult.Back in 2005, the new McMansion development up the hill and its not-yet-installed drainage flooded the basement where I had been hosting games and storing most of my RPG books for several years without incident.I lost a third of my collection, including early AD&D books, first-edition James Bond novels, and numerous notes dating back to my first games in high school in the early 1980s.Insurance and the landlord didn't help, but my group helped me sort through the wreckage, and I eventually replaced many of the lost books with more portable but ephemeral PDFs. I've already posted on MerricB's thread about my current collections.I still have water-damaged copies of my first Player Characters and homebrew campaign maps, but many of our early adventures and drawings exist only in our memories now.</blockquote>
