SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Got rid of all my tabletop RPGs in the late '80s, because computer games. Been very picky about which RPGs to buy since then. I only buy ones that I'll be playing. No collection build-up.

Periodically I go through my collection and cull it of stuff I no longer want. Then I sell it to a used bookstore, because eBay is too much goddamn hassle.

"Stuff I no longer want" can encompass different things. Sometimes it's games I no longer play. Other times it's merely editions that I no longer play. Still other times it's games and supplements that I bought and ended up disliking for one reason or another.

I periodically donate some RPG book to a local gaming event. I'm going to be doing so again this month at a local convention.
