What Game Systems Do You Have?

[Thomas Shey]

Oh, gods above. If I could actually go through and count them, there are probably literally hundreds; I've been collecting them on and off for almost a half century now. Even in physical form I probably have over a hundred.

\STD folder, the \Zines folder...

...I might have a problem.

You have a STD folder? I think they make a pill or cream for that these days

As a few others have said, I had many more systems in years passed but sold them. When one of my bookcases collapsed under its own weight and almost went through my 3rd story window and landed on my neighbor's car, I think it was time. As of now here's the list of what I have in print, I've severely pared back. I'm not counting what I have in digital format, I have no idea what I have anymore and can never seem to find what I'm looking for anyway.

1. AD&D 1E
2. AD&D 2E
3. D&D 3.5E
4. D&D 5E
5. ShadowDark
6. Modern AGE
7. G.I. Joe

just as a clear indicator of my obsessive game hording, my total game collection stacked up is 3-4 cubic meters, between RPGs and boardgames. Just added a new boardgame and an RPG book yesterday.

Yesterday I learned of an original metric system measurement which is no longer in use in most cases - but MAY in fact be useful here.
Instead of 3-4 cubic meters, you can now say 3-4 stere. Note when the French came up with the metric system, stere only applied to cut wood, not uncut wood. I'd say your game collection counts as cut wood

Now, if a partner or friend or family member says "you've got too many games aramis erak!" you can reply - " it's only 3-4 stere". Conversely if someone impugns your game collection and says it's too small, you can respond "Dude! I've got over 3 STERE of games. How many do you have?!? Huh?!?" Ideally while getting a bit over-aggressive when you shout "STERE".

You're welcome

I recently went and organized games in the sense of - do I want to play this? But it wasn't along the lines of just "system". I'm undermotivated to do that now, but I'm in the same boat as Umbran - I have at least 70 in dead tree - some of which are also in pdf, and many more in digital only

 

[zanderfitz]

I'm maintaining a list of different systems I have - partly to discourage me from buying more (Yeah, right!) and partly to know what I have available as options. I'm keeping this organized by listing the same game in the same line (since 1st edition AD&D and OSRIC are pretty much the same) and also organizing by genre (if applicable).

I have purchased, read, run, and sold far too many RPGs to count over the years. At one point I had a trio of 1.5m shelves packed with RPG books, and that was only a fraction of what I'd owned. Now, my collection has been ruthlessly pruned to contain only those RPGs that I enjoy in every regard and actively run:

Atomic Robo
Between Clouds
Do - Fate of the Flying Temple
Fabula Ultima
Fate Accelerated
Fate Condensed
Fate Core
Fate of Cthulhu
Hard Wired Island
Land of Eem
Lords of Gossamer & Shadow
Salvage Union
The Wildsea

 

[Tutara]

On my shelf:

Blades in the Dark: One of my absolute favourites, a great sysytem.
Cypher 2e: I want to like it more than I do - some good ideas that don't quite pay off in play.
Conan 2D20: This is on my 'to play' list. Not sure how well it will work on the table, but Dune 2D20 is apparently pretty good so fingers crossed.
Dungeons and Dragons 5e: Mostly fun sourcebooks with fancy covers, no corebooks. No 3rd party stuff.
Heart, the City Beneath: A brilliant rpg based on Spire (another brilliant rpg). Die horribly below the earth. End up made of bees. Fab!
Numenera (Discovery and Destiny): More for the setting than the system. I adore the setting.
Trail of Cthulhu: Not played it, will get around to it at some point. I wanted at least one Mythos rpg, and bounced off CoC hard.
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1e: My original book from the 80s. now in tatters. Also, half of Warhammer Adventure held together with hope.
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e: My current game of choice. Beautiful books, surprsingly straightforward system.

I also have a pdf of Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, and Savage Worlds Lankhmar. Definitely something I intend to play later.
