How many rpg products do you own?

[Anarchy Bob]

Okay, this isn't an ego contest.. just a quick survey to see what's 'average'. Not that we are likely to define that here either.

I own currently (have owned much more in the past) 237 rpg products.

I also have about 20 Marvel Super Heroes products that are at a friend's house, but since i can't count them..

So how many do YOU own _presently_?

Say hello to the Kivas Fatjo of the gaming set (used to manage the game dept for a comics store chain )

I own a large # of products for a large # of game systems. Examples:

Every GURPS book ever published (except Middle Ages I, which was stolen at a con, and is now OOP! )

All of the AD&D2 books... just sold them off recently for a tidy profit!

All of Champions (except the FUZION system), and all other hero games products.

LUGTrek (Yeah, Baby!)- all but the TOS narrator's kit.

All of the White Wolf WOD books up until Vampire 3rd (lost interest... I loaned the books to a friend so she could run a game)

D&D 3rd... the 3 core books, plus GM screen.

Star Wars: ALL of the old WEG stuff, plus MOST of the new WOTC game.

Call of Cthulhu; A lot. Really.

I think that currently I have over 350 books in my possesion (GURPS alone is over 150 books!). My fiance is not happy about this .

102. MOstly old WEG Star Wars, Space:1889, ICON Trek, and Castle Falkenstein, but I also have all the James Bond stuff, and mostly of the Jovian Chronicles stuff.

I don't tend to buy what I don't play or use as research material.

[Captain Blake]

Sitting, on my shelf, so I can count it, excluding magazines like Dungeon, Dragon, Adventurer's Club, etc. and, or cource, things in boxes that I can't count.

943.

No, really. I counted. Took me 45 minutes.

If you add those things I've got in storage, I've probably got another couple of hundred.

[Desslok]

Over 1500.

No, really.

I tend to pick up new RPG's just to read 'em. And when I REALLY like a game, I'll get EVERYTHING for it...

On first guess I'd say I have about 50, but then I think about it more...

All the LUGTrek books, all the WizWars books so far, 1 or 2 dozen WEWars books, 2 FASATrek books (not including the core rules), the core rules for the original Prime Directive, one Indiana Jones sourcebook (with no masterbook), DC Heroes core rules with one Who's Who RPG supplement, 1 or 2 dozen GURPS books, plus a few magazines (mainly InQuest)

I guess it adds up to 70 or 80.

Games. The Final Product. These are the books of the Star Trek RPG. Their five year license. To explore strange new roles. To breathe new life into get togethers. To boldly play what no fan has played before!

There's an easy answer to this - one that I think a whole load of people will agree to....


Too many

[prophetsteve]

Must have at lest 500. Maybe as much as 1000. It fills an entire wall of my bedroom. I am NOT going to count it. I have much better things to do with my time...

[Perrryyy]

AD&D 1
AD&D 2
Trek rpg
James bond

and somewhere around here I had Vampyre, and Revolt on Antares.

[Gamethyme]

Too many.

^_^

In all honesty, I'm in the 250+ range.
The biggest chunks of the collection are my *shudder* White Wolf books (50+), my Deadlands (30+), and my L5R (I've got everything they've done so far, including three different printings of the first edition basic book)

Yeah, such as reading and playing them, which should take the same amount.

That was exactly what my answer was going to be

Not as many some of the chaps here. But my collection must be approaching the 4 figure mark. Mainly DND 2nd Ed, prob a whopping 70%+

Counting what I can grab at any given time 91 books (not including Btech manuals and the like). With what I have in storage and on layaway, probably well over a hundred. Not as a much as some, but still respectable. I'm sort of a player/collector so I only buy what I think I will really like. Not an impulse buyer.

[Cochrane]

Well most of LUGTrek appealed to me, and since I bought what did, I figured I might as well get the complete set. I could probably make use of all of it.

[Aldaron]

Well, 188 I could count on the shelf.

Mind you, there's probably another two dozen or so books scattered around the house (on the covered patio-table outside where I smoke away from my non-smoking family, on the shelf in the lounge-room for quick reference when watching Trek, in the magazine basket in the toilet, by the bed, a couple in my son's room, etc, etc, etc).

Janetta's not happy about this, either
"You can keep your study in any mess you like, but not the rest of the house!" (Storms off muttering about living with two four-year-olds, rather than a 4 and 34 year old )

My rough list of what it consists of...
(The most commonly played/my favourites are in bold)

AD&D
D&D 3rd Edition
Star Wars (both WEG and WotC)
LUGTrek
Traveller: The New Era
Traveller 4 COre Rules (never played)
Twilight: 2000
Merc: 2000
2300AD
Middle Earth Role-Playing (never played)
GURPS
Alien (never played)
Rifts
Harnmaster

Hmmm...I actually thought I had a fair bit of stuff 'til I started seeing how much some of you guys have!!

My pride and joy remains my perfect condition, original print-run AD&D 2nd Edition "Fiend Folio" I picked up from the second-hand bin at a country-town gaming store...
ME (red-in-face, trembling): "How much for this?"
HIM (nonchalantly): "Oh, that? Five bucks."
ME (suppressing desire to kiss him): "I'll take it!"

*Sigh*
Now if I could just find a "Dark Side Sourcebook" in that same bin...
