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.

Anybody ever got their rpg books stolen?

My most memorable stolen book story was not an RPG book, it was a Astrology book.

I lent it to one girl at University who lent it to another friend who lent it to another friend because it turns out that girls love that horoscope shit.

To this day, I have never been asked about my star sign by a guy.

I also have never asked a guy about their Star Sign so story checks out.

The only thing that really stands out was when I came home from Navy Basic Training. Before leaving, I had packed up all of my paperback books and gaming books so that my parents could use my bedroom for storage. When I arrived, I was dying to grab my Classic Traveller and D&D books to bring back to base with me. I spent a day looking through the house and the garage and attic for the box with them in it, but could not find them. I asked my Dad and he hadn't seen it. I asked my Mom and she told me that now that I was in the Navy, I was too old for all of that "kid's stuff". She had taken about $200 (in 1988 dollars) of RPG books and sold them to a local used book store.
"Meh."

hmmm...an interesting idea.  I should leave some Rolemaster books out in the wild with my phone number and email address on the inside cover an see if I can find some players!

About 31-32 years ago when I was in college, I had our stash of Palladium Fantasy.  Most of the books belonged to a good friend.  I needed rent money and traded them in to the local game store.  I bought them back when payday came (so it cost me more in the long run), but he was still pissed.  I deserved the anger and apologized as much as I could.  He later accepted it.  What he never accepted was me winning our collection of Lost Worlds Combat Books in a poker game we had.  But that was fair and square.

I lent out my AD&D Dieties and Demigods with the Moorcock and Cthulhu content and never got it back. I've since replaced it but I no longer lend out gaming books.

Now I also buy 2 copies of books since 5e came out but the wokeness has paused my purchases from WotC for the foreseeable future.

A friend wanted to buy my extra original copy of Champions 4th Edition. I let him have it, and he said I would get paid later for it.

Then he got called up for Desert Storm. Took the book with him. When I called his family to get the money for it, they gave me the brush-off. And I was pissed.

He eventually came back from his tour of duty, paid me, and apologized. But I became a lot less trusting as a result.
