This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Danger

Danger's my name, and science fiction is my game (of choice)!

So having said that lets look at my stuff:

Star Wars and lots of it - Mostly d6 with a few d20 things thrown in.  I've duplicates of the Starships and core books for some reason.  Collection has languished, but with the son getting his nerd on for Star Wars in a big way, I can certainly see these books being used again.

Star Trek - Almost all of the LUG materials, a old 1st edition FASA boxed set (complete with D-7 and Constitution deckplans!) and the ADB Prime Directive book and Starfleet Battles thrown in for good measure.

Last but not least is my D&D books from my youth (just the core stuff), and my pile-o-3rd GURPS.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

I have a foot and a half of GURPS sourcebooks, but I'm not sure that counts.

I have some Earthdawn stuff, but not a lot of it. I played the hell out of the game at one time, but I doubt if I'll ever touch it again. I've got a few CoC things, but I'll probably play that again. Otherwise, I've got 2 core books for games I've never played (HEX, M&M 2e) and three or four more for games I've played but probably wont use again (e.g. V&V, CT) but that's about it. I don't buy supplements any more really, and never bought many to begin with, and I'm at a point now where I'd have to be really intrigued to buy a new game.

Top Secret.

I'm pretty much all Spycraft these days... so elegant and fast paced compared to TS.

Dangerous Journeys. Makes a great reference book though.

I'll play anything else in my Library, but may not get around to playing due to time constraints, not becuase I don't want to run or play the games.

Games I havene't GMed or played in the last year, but really want to: Metamorphosis Alpha, Gurps: Alpha Centauri, Chaosium Runequest, Gamma World, Aces and Eights, Fudge, and Star Wars d20.

If I want to play it but just can't make it happen, I'll keep it. I mean, you never know.

If I don't want to play or run it, I get rid of it. Thus my GURPS books went out - I kept the setting books, sold the rulebooks. Same with my smaller Harn collection.

I do still have several books for Ars Magica. I'd be quite happy to play or run it, but nobody's interested. A few other single books like Timelords and Jorune are the same, too.

I have tons of AD&D 1e and 2e stuff... but not sure that counts, I find I still use the better stuff therein. Some stuff like the Spell & Prayer books and Encyclodpedia Magica I'll never never use (though don't have the heart to part with), but settings, monster books (for fluff), adventures, and general resources like the World Builder's Guidebook and Complete Villains Handbook are still great, idea filled resources.

I do have Champions stuff I'll probably never use, as I don't know when or if I'll ever be in the mood to run supers again.

A friend of mine was moving into an apartment and didn't have a lot of storage space.  Nearly all the old Hunter books, tons of D&D 3.0, and some other random things like CoC d20.

I'm probably 'auctioning' off the D&D 3.0 books to help a local store, since they're not really worth much anyway.  The CoC d20 book is the only thing I'm probably going to hang onto.  The stack behind me is huge and I really just want to get rid of it.
"In a way, the Lands of Dream are far more brutal than the worlds of most mainstream games. All of the games set there have a bittersweetness that I find much harder to take than the ridiculous adolescent posturing of so-called \'grittily realistic\' games. So maybe one reason I like them as a setting is because they are far more like the real world: colourful, crazy, full of strange creatures and people, eternal and yet changing, deeply beautiful and sometimes profoundly bitter."

Someday I'll get around to playing Spycraft.  I have most of the first edition Spycraft books, and all of the Shadowforce Archer books.

So far I haven't been able to convince any of my gaming groups to play it.

Quote from: GameDaddy;360979Chaosium Runequest

Someday I would like to play this again.  Though at the present time, nobody local has any interest in any edition of Runequest.

I've been thinking about whether I should jump on the Mongoose Runequest II treadmill.  (Mongoose's Runequest II was just released last month).  At the present time, I'm leaning against jumping onto the treadmill.  Though if I give in and jump onto the treadmill, I may just pick up the core books and perhaps the Glorantha ones.

Generally I do not buy a whole line of a product -  I normally buy just the core book and leave it at that. However, did buy up a whole load of brand new Mongoose's Babylon 5 D20 stuff that was going for a pound or two per book (and a boxed set) on ebay, not long before Christmas. I knew it would probably never get played but at the price, great value. I'm enjoying just flicking through the books.

Fading Suns. Complete collection, never played. Perhaps I'll try with the Starblazer rules.
Iron Kingdoms. Complete collection, never played. Probably will never play.
Midnight. Complete collection (I think). Would love to play this but I'm afraid the setting is too dark and hopeless for my players.
MERP. Huge collection. Never played, will never play.
Kult. Bought everything I could find. Hope to GM it some day. But again, probably too dark and hopeless. I'm not sure I myself would like to play in this setting as a player.

I don't have a large collection of anything I don't see myself playing. But I'm a bit of a pack rat so I keep things around on the theory that "you never know". Probably near the top of my chopping block are C&S (2nd? ed) which has never excited me enough to even leaf through, and Burning Wheel, which I don't think is really playable, although it has some interesting subsystems.

Quote from: RPGPundit;360897Does anyone have this? A shitload of books and sourcebooks and editions of a game you don't play anymore (and can't imagine yourself playing again), or perhaps never played?

RPGPundit
I have a quite extensive MERP collection, that I played a lot for years. But I have to admit that it's been more than a decade since I last used them, I'm afraid.

But I love the game, so you never know.

Even though I don't see myself running 2ndAD&D, I still consider the material useful.  Its just too easy to convert or pillage.

My real sickness was my relationship with GURPS supplements.  They were always on sale or just too weird to pass up.  It never worked out for me and GURPS in the long run, but they were a good value to me for reference/inspiration alone.  But I learned to be wary of source books.

I have a smattering of "smaller press" games, things I tried with my players that never caught on with the group:  Little Fears, this supernatural game called Witchcraft... things of that nature.
