What has actually seen the table
(excluded above are home-printed materials and adventures that have seen the table)
Whenever the new shiny release or Kickstarter drops, I remind myself of the pictures above. And that as much as I take enjoyment from reading roleplaying materials for inspiration, a solid book, graphic novel or film will likely be much more appropriate. The materials above could last me several decades of gaming as it stands.
Hey, reading RPG products is a perfectly valid use for them. It doesn't need to end up at the table for it to be worth the purchase.
ReplyDelete... But also, yeah, 90+ % of my purchases are just PDFs for this very reason. My physical collection is relatively tiny, while my digital collection is enormous.
It is a valid use, and it is also how a vast chunk of RPG materials are meant to be consumed, since inception (my opinion). It is just my personal stand at this point in time, I just don't take the same enjoyment as I once did from reading RPGs, and currently prefer other media to fuel my games and run with minimal tools/materials.
DeleteThe digital collection is another beast to crack, and that I should organize. But I'm on a similar boat as you... 90/10 or 80/20 !!!
I don't see NOD in your table pile.
ReplyDeleteI decided to exclude home-printed materials, and that includes what has seen the table from NOD (Ulflandia, issues #26 and #27).
DeleteAnd frankly I'm quite happy with the result of putting it in a ring binder for the campaign. The Lulu copies I own (second picture, column to the right, around the center) are a bit stiff to open, and only b&w, so some detail is lost.
Also, John Stater is a beast for his throughput rate, and a kind individual. I emailed him with some questions about NOD and he switfly answered them.
