I just had a moment where I downsized my RPG book collection. Do you ever weed out your collection? I find myself becoming a bit of a headless chicken, sometimes more interested in what the promise is that a book might hold, rather than diving in deep into the ones I already have. This superficial engagement with many books I find very unsatisfying. The books I cherish most are the ones that I have really sunk my teeth into, and I have a feeling that there is still a lot to discover in some of those that I haven’t revisited in a while. Master the tools you have, rather than acquiring ever more barely used tools. Just wanted to air my thoughts, quite happy right now with my smaller collection of things I really cherish.

    I sold off some of my books before, ones that I hadn’t used or even looked at in a while.

    I regret it so hard.

    Ignoring the sentimental aspects (which is significant for me), if I decide I want them back I now have to pay probably double or more what I sold them for.

    I will probably never sell anything again unless I have multiples of it.

    Never enough. When I die I want my kids to be burdened with wondering what the heck to do with dad’s dozens of boxes of rpg books.

    I try to limit myself to only especially nice books these days. If I just want to read the rules a pdf does the job done. So if its taking up shelf space is going to have to look nice and be useful. Aside from that, as long as I’m keeping in my entertainment budget there isn’t really such thing as too many.
