Your book collection

How many have you collected over the years? Do you buy all that comes out or just a select few?

I try to obtain all monster, complete, and Forgotten Realms books. When new editions come out, unless the book is very good I usually seel them.

3.0 Books:
-Faiths And Pantheons
-Monsters Of Faerun
-Monster Manual II
-Monster Manual III
-Fiend Folio
-Book Of Vile Darkness ( Book of VD's )
-Oriental Guide ( in French )
-Expanded Psionic's Handbook
-Magic Of Faerun
-Lords Of Darkness
-Champions Of Ruin
-Serpent Kingdom
-Silver Marches

3.5 Books
-Players's Guide ( in French )
-PHB II
-DMG
-Spell Compendium
-Magic Item Compendium
-Fiendish Codex
-Fiendish Codex II
-Monster Manual
-Monster Manual IV ( yuck )
-Complete Adventurer
-Complete Arcane
-Complete Champion
-Complete Divine
-Complete Warrior
-Miniature's Handbook

I still have all the 2nd Monstrous Compendiums from the first one up to Dark Sun. ( I am looking for the Fiend Folio, though )

Other 2nd edition books:
-Complete Fighter
-Arms and Equipment Guide
-Castle Guide
-Encyclopedia Of Weaponry d20

I am almost ashamed to say I was one of the few people that baught the Ghostwalk book.

I sen so many bad reviews about it, I never even read it!

Well, I am ashamed of buying the MM IV, although I pre-ordered; expecting a quality book like the previous monster books. I shall not make the same mistake with the MM V.

LOL, that is yet another book I purchased (although at 50% off) that I have yet to skim through.

They just come out with so many of them!

Good thing I have never bought a single adventure for ANY Role-Playing Game, or I would go broke just trying to keep up.

The Magic Items Compendium looks great, so I cannot wait for that one to arrive.

Oh, and I am looking for the "Book Of Erotic Fantasies" as amazon.ca does not carry it.

Please, if you get the time, give us a review of the book. That is definately on my want list.

Sure, not a problem, amazon expects it to be delivered between March 16 and 23rd.

I do think there should be a topic or forum section for book reviews. What do you think, Kilsek ?

Hmm, great idea. at first I would have said to use the RPG General Discussion but that may end up getting cluttered in the future.

Let me see what kind of spell I can find to make this idea come to light. Light spell wouldn't work will it?

What do I know about light spells ? I am a Vampire, after all, mwhahaha

The Lord of Vampires!

You know it

I used to have a great many books. Almost all the AD&D orange-spines, the Fiend Folio and Deities & Demigods (with Cthulu!).

I had a few 2nd ed. books (a historical supplement and a Ravenloft boxed set or two). Unfortunately, I either left them with or gave them to the old DM for my 2nd Ed. group. I don't remember which.

My collection is decidedly lighter for 3.X...The core three, Weapons of Legacy, Miniatures Handbook. I'm looking at getting the Drow of the Underdark/Complete Drow/whatever it is book (but probably won't), and I keep thinking about the [s]Draconomicon[/s], Lords of Madness, et al. but again probably won't bother.

Library:
Player's Handbook
Dungeonmaster's Guide
Monster Manual
Miniatures Handbook
Draconomicon
Weapons of Legacy

Added two new books, Magic Item Compendium ( Review coming in a few days ) and Book of Vile Darkness.

P.S: I still need the "Book Of Erotic Fantasies"

Can't wait for your review(s)!

That just about covers it - I have a few other odds and ends lying about, a few modules and stuff from other publishers, but that is the bulk of it. As you can see, I never throw anything away - who knows, they may be worth money someday!

skarnn

Wow...It Looks Like You Have Just About Every 3.5 Books skarnn,Even The Rotten Ones Like Monster Manual IV,Complete Scroundrel And Complete Mage !

Impressive

Naw - I'm still missing most of the Races Books and all of the Climate Books (Stormwrack, ect). And still waiting on the Item Compendium.

Good lord. You expect me to -list- this stuff? I have a -lot- of all editions of D&D/AD&D, including modules, adventures, sourcebooks... Not as much 3.X stuff tho, I just haven't ever felt "into" the revised game as I did earlier editions.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Boz do you want a hardcopy or will a pdf or "Erotic Fantasy" do? I mean, I can get the hardcopy for you as well, it's on sale at my FLGS, but that'll cost ya in shipping.

Yes,I Really Would...Pending The Price/Trade Value...I Really Want It.I Have The PDF,But It Just Is Not The Same...Is The Copy In Good Condition At Your FLGS ?

Well, they sell them new, so... I'd say mint. ;P

Name Your Price...Please Use PM,As We Have No Trade Interface As Of Yet...

Cannot list, there are too many books, boxes, adventure modules... But basic, 1st and 2nd ed.
For 3.5 I have only the PHB, but I intend to get the 3 "expedition" adventures scheduled for 2007.
Oh, and a couple scarred lands books, goodman games adventures, a moongoose boxed megacampaign and AEG's world's largest dungeon (I just HAD to have it ).

I seem to recall there is a 2nd-edition netbook "complete guide to unlawful carnal knowledge", which could be of interest for you... You can probably find it on the net. I'm sure I have it somewhere on my HD ; if you need it LMK and I'll email it to you.

Thanks,I Would Like To See It First Before Buying It...I Still Have MM IV Flashbacks...

Seriously, I'm very wary of the MMV, just because of how crappy MMIV was. The monster books seem to have been slowly sliding towards filler and rehashing.

Yes,I Will Definitely Wait To See Reviews And Read a Few Entries Before I Decide To Get That One.

I'm curious to see how the Expedition adventures turn out.

I Never Buy Adventures,I Make My Own...

I haven't bought one in ages, but I do peruse Dungeon magazine.

Yes,I Have a Friend That Loans Them To Me,And I Bought a Few From maximinis User's,Especially The Class Variants Over 3 Issues.

Well I just started RPG. I have:

3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide, Player's Handbook, Monster Manual

hmm thats might be it then there are all my FR 2nd edition and AD&D core books. (orange binder)

Except For The Miniatures Handbook And The Complete Series,I Think You have It All Covered yack,LOL

Nah I have no interest in thoses books maybe the players handbookII
I have the DM Guide II on pdf I forgot...oh and the DM for dummies!

Oh,If We Are Talking About pdfs,I Have Them All,Except The Maps And Adventures.

Adventures that are premade can be useful but I prefer the feel of my own. Home made is better than store bought, jsut like food.

I have edited my post on the first page to reflect a sale that I ran across the other week. By sheer coincidence, I happened in on an LGS during some sort of event.

It was luck that I acquired a Draconomicon for 50% off. I almost picked up another book (MM II?) but I don't remember what it was. I was already stretching the budget far enough on the one book.

I do wish that I would have bought Draconomicon sooner as it seems like a really good book.

Add Red Hand of Doom to my list, now to get the time to read it!

LOL, I will read it for you!

I have recently picked up Underdark and Shinning South

I own:

PHB 3.5 (2 softcover)

Man...thats the worst thing....I used to have about 20 palladium fantasy Rpg books but they were also stolen. Some people...

Ouch. For sure. I'm only going to game with people who give me addresses after I've been to their place first. Thieves make me angry.

I Picked Up The -Encyclopedia Of Weaponry d20 At LeValet's Garage Sale For 5$,Down From 50$...

Over 200 Weapons Throughout History.Very Nice,Although The Art Is Only In Black In White...

Wow sweet deal...was there anymore good books cheap?

Yeah,There Was a DMG For 20$ Canadians And a Lot Of D&D Novels.I Picked Up Part 1 Of The Minotaur Trilogy And Lord Soth's Story.

It Was For Many Games,Mostly d20,But Also Vampires,Werewolf,Etc.

One Interesting Piece I Found Was An Alphabetized d30 With 4 "Wild" Sides.
