Come take a tour of my boxed role-playing game collection. I've been collection them since 1978.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I've owned about a quarter of those at one time or another.
Is there more than one version of the CoC 1e boxed set? I have one and the box is considerably thicker than the one in the video.

I just checked, I was apparently wrong, this is the 2nd edition.

Okay, it's still a very cool artifact.  As far as your collection goes, I covet the following: Gamma World 1e; Thieves' World; Superworld; Ringworld and Buck Rogers- all of which (except for the last) I once owned copies of my self.

How many of them do you play?

Cool stuff.

I'd really like to play some of those, especially Ringworld.  As with most of my hobbies, I came in a little late, and seem to have missed some really interesting things.

Of course, with the advent of file-sharing, it's easy enough to get your hands on the rules if you're willing to work around the law, but boxed sets are still nifty.

Impressive Collection!

If you do a followup vid, can you display the coverart and back of the box as well? That would be useful for insurance purposes, and for folks that may be interested in acquiring rare boxed sets at auctions or sales. Determining the provenance of older original gaming material is becoming more, and more difficult as time goes on.

Looking through my collection there are only ten boxed sets...

The 1974 Original White D&D bookset, TSR
The Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game 3e, WOTC
Dungeons & Dragons Basic game 3e, WOTC
Castles & Crusades Collectors Edition, Troll Lord Games
Towers of Adventure,  Troll Lord Games
RuneQuest Deluxe Edition, Avalon Hill
Top Secret, TSR
Twilight 2000, GDW
Traveller Deluxe Edition, GDW
Star Siege, Troll Lord Games

I still GM, or work on half of these games regularly, and keep the rest on account I'll play them, or run them given a good opportunity.

Points for sniffiness! I'm envious too...

Nice, but I hopw this doesn't start a massive tidal wave of videos....

Yes, there are two printings of CoC 1E.  The first printing is in the 2" thick box and the second printing is in a 1" thick box, as are 2E and 3E.

While I have played them in the past, they are mostly just part of my collection. I do occasionally use them as reference or reread them for entertainment.

I might well do a more in-depth series of videos at some point. But I am by nature lazy, so it won't be anytime soon and it won't be all at once. I do reviews of RPG books fairly often on my channel however. I will be doing one of Blood of Heroes probably this week, maybe Friday.
