What non-RPG stuff do you collect?

Classical Music CDs - over 450 at last count. Lots of obscure people no one here has ever heard of, I'm sure. I love it.

That's really about it.

Oh, and pop tabs for the suit of armor I'm going to build with them. It will be spectacular. SPECTACULAR, I say!

anime movies and toys, a small collection of rare, and first edition books, concert tickets, anything Sarah Mclachlan, lots of music.


You and I need to stop doing this Skade....

I love Sarah Mclachlan... I dont own everything, but Id like to .


I collect Serephim Classic's Angel figureines...
 

Classical Music CDs - a ton of Opera.
Fishing Lures
History Books
Liberators and other pre-civil war anti-slavery newspapers. These used to be easy to collect, but they have caught on in the last 8 to 10 years :(
Miniatures (Ancients through Medievals and of course fantasy).
I do not collect RPGs - I sell what I am not playing or may play in the near future.
 

ok, I dont really have to add anything HH has an uncanny similar collection drift. Except for plants, I can even let plastic plants wilt and die, so I dont even bother.

but:
rpg's: check
Cyberpunk novels: check

oh, and i do have a wierd collection of nicknacks, like stuffed Crocodiles, moose antlers, strange plaster art, various cheap ass weapons, drawings and paintings, Jokers (cards from various decks) and such. I always try to let my living space look like an Wizards workshop. cluttered and confusing
 

My fiance would say I collect anything and everything

, but here is what I consider to be actual collections (as opposed to neat stuff that takes up space in my office/game room):

Legos - almost a closet full, mostly pirate, Star Wars, and castle sets, but lots of other sets too.

Comic Books - I used to have several thousand, but sold them to pay the rent when I was living in New York City several years ago. I now only collect a few monthly titles, as I'm becoming more focused on graphic novels and collected storylines.

Star Wars Figures - I don't buy many of the new figures, but I do have a very large collection of the original figures, playsets, and ships (lots of them from when I was a kid)

Fantasy & SF books - not just novels, but art books and other related titles as well.

Books related to the Shawangunk mountains of New York - I grew up at the foothills of the Shawangunk (pronounced Sha-wan-gum) mountains, worked at Minnewaska State Park in the mountains, and still try to get back to hike 2 or 3 times a year.

Books in general - I've worked in bookstores, worked for a major publisher, and now work in a library. I like books. Antique, new, used, whatever. The knowledge that can be found in books fascinates me.

CDs - mostly rock and 90s grunge/alternative. Lots of weird stuff too.

Grateful Dead and Phish live shows - no longer actively collecting shows, but I have upwards of 500 shows between the two bands on tape or CD.

Jade Plants - well, maybe not a collection, but every time my big plant drops a leaf or branch, I have to stick it in soil to root. The damn things grow so easily, I now have 8 or 10 pots with 6 or 8 plants growing in each.

coins
stamps
books
license plates

but mostly rpg stuff. dice and minis in particular.

i owned a literal ton(ne) of rpg stuff.
 

Like Cthulhu's Librarian, I, too, am a bootlegger. But I don't care for the Dead (blasphemy!). No, I tend to load up on String Cheese Incident, Widespread Panic, moe., Dave Matthews Band, and Phish shows. The same bands also make up the majority of my CD collection (massive!), along with old classic rock bands like Floyd, Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, and all that goodness. A guy at college I hung out with started me down the path of bootlegging and stoner music, and I've ne'er looked back.

...Other things I ...collect are small dancing knicknacks. I got 2, count em, 2 dancing hamsters for Christmas. They are going up in the closet with the previous year's hamster and the Christmas cactus that beeps out "Feliz Navidad."...

Jesus! I didn't notice it, but I collect these things too! :mad:

I have a dancing flower holding a guitar that gyrates to external music.

I have a gorilla that jiggles to "the Macarena" (which he himself provides)

I have a foot-tall christmas tree that also dances to external music.

I have the "feliz navidad" cactus.

I need to toss some of this crap out.

Latest addition: a neon sign shaped like a crocodile, and a wooden box shaped like a book.

And browsing through a cupboard I found a nice pile of incense sticks (huge pile)

And to echo Our spagettifaced librarian: LEGO (as y'all would not not know after me having my avatar since ....forever :D)
