[Eldan]

Not me. I only have three RPG books. The Planes of Chaos box, Faces of Sigil, and the Planescape Monstrous Compendium. But I can make a picture if you want.

[Yora]

It's not about the number of books, but about the careful selection of books. In which case I win.

[Lord Loss]

I don't have pictures, but I own thirty D&D 3.5 books, as wel as 5-7 Call of Cthulhu books (mostly scenarios). Plus more as PDFs. I spedn too much money on RPGs...

[Yora]

Pictures, or id didn't happen.

I wouldn't be too sure of that
I got mine from an original Planescape writer.

[Yora]

Okay, Planescape boxes improve every RPG library. No big feat.

But it does make my MotP look rather flimsy.

[DukeofDellot]

This sounds fun.

... physical collection only or should I take a picture of my computer screen... oh, who am I kidding my new phone doesn't allow me to take pictures.

Spoiler

7 volumes GURPS 4e
3 volumes GURPS 3e
5 volumes Pathfinder (one of which is a printed out 3rd party pdf, but my favorite in the collection)
1 volume Call of Cthulhu 6e (To point out what a bad game looks like)
1 volume Hong Kong Action Theatre!
1 volume Big Eyes Small Mouth 2e
1 volume Hunter: the Reckoning (was twelve bucks, otherwise I'd have regretted it.)
1 volume d20 Modern (heh... horrid)
1 volume Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game (coda system... never got to play it.)
2 volumes Warcraft RPG (based on the war game series, not WoW... but d20 based... it was a gift.)
1 volume DnD 3.5e (Players Handbook 2)
2 volumes DnD 3.0e (PHB and DMG, all you really need... monsters are boring)
1 volume Star Wars Roleplaying Game (d20 3.0e compatible)
2 volumes Burning Wheel (It looks like one of those games that could be fun, but I'll never play)
1 volume High Fantasy (Now that's a game!)
1 Red Box (The old one, not the crappy new one.)
1 volume FATAL (Ha!)

Alright let's skim the surface of my virtual collection, these are on my desktop:

Pathfinder Psionics Unleashed (Couldn't wait for it to hit the SRD)
Various homemade character sheets (functional, but not pretty)

Hm... you see I limit my purchases quite a bit... but I've been collecting for a while now...

*Games I made... I guess.
**The Dragon, Empath, and Cardmaster classes, a Martial Techniques concept, and a Profession system (option that replaces your favored class)
***Sith Accademy, Time Pirates, and Tomes of Knowledge

[Titanium Fox]

All I have right now is he 3.5 Core, Tome of Battle, and the 4.0 Core, as well as the Player's Handbook II. I'm looking into picking up more (Complete Divine should be mine by the end of the summer) however.

I have the PDFs of every book published by TSR including maps, modules, screens and cards ;-)

My friends and I have gone a bit overboard on wanting to complete our set, cause we still love AD&D and none of us can afford to start over on a newer version

[Feriority]

Seeing this thread directly under "Your experiences with erotic games" gives the wrong impression, a bit >.>

[Kymme]

I had 54 3.5 books last time i checked, but thats barely anything compared to some of my friends collections

[BillyBobJoe]

I own every single 3.5 book except for Complete Psionics and maybe one of two others, plus tons of 3.0, 2e, and AD&D books, probably the main books of at least 20 other systems, and other books from most of them too. I'm on vacation right now, so I can't take pictures, but I'll take some pictures on Monday when I get back.

[dsmiles]

I just packed for a move, so both my camera and books are packed.

Plus, I vote for Eldan's Planescape book for the win. Unless someone has a OD&D book signed by the Gygax himself.

[Totally Guy]

Some D&D
Some Shadowrun
Pretty much every Burning Wheel book
Mouse Guard
Baron Munchausen
Inspectres
Cat
Spirit of the Century
Lacuna
The Parseley games

Not shown:
D&D 4th edition - my younger brother has borrowed these.
Apocalypse World - On loan to a friend.
Pendragon - in a ringbinder file - prited PDF.

I'm quite pleased with my shelf and I'm going to avoid buying anything else for the rest of the year. Except the new edition of Burning Wheel which, you may be able to tell, I'm quite into.

[randomhero00]

My DM has like 4 or 5 shelves of books. Not all of them 3.5 of course.

[dsmiles]

I have (hard copy) a three-shelf 30"x40"x10" bookshelf dedicated to my gaming books. I have a crapload of PDFs, and enough novels to choke a woodchipper. My best friends are books.

is that sword and fist any good I saw like a copy or two along with song and silence at a hobby shop not too far from where I live


as for mine I have to now take a picture but its woefully lacking in anything I don't even have all my books so I will do it when I get them (might be a while)

[Warlawk]

This is my shelf. There are a couple of random books on the bottom right that just didn't fit on another bookshelf.

Spoiler

I also have enough books in storage to fill at least another shelf.

I've also got about 10 gigs of PDFs (13 gigs actually, but there are duplicates in some of the different folders). Some of those are pdf copies of hardcopies I own of course. It's much easier to not feel guilty spending $$ on RPG books when your wife games too and can share in the hobby. :D

It's intended to give more options to fighters and monks, and I personally like it, although I can't really attest to how well it actually accomplishes that goal. Has a lot of prestige classes and new weapons, 3.0 of course, but it's easily converted. I like the Devoted Defender meself.

Also, I think a lot of the material has been ported into various 3.5 books.

Worth 10 bucks, but I don't think it's worth the $19.95 suggested retail on the back.

Ray Vallese, author of Faces of Sigil. Which, coincidentally, is my favourite RPG book ever. He sold his collect on Ebay a while back.

Not signed, though. I don't really see the point of signing books.
