Or: How I tried to come up with the longest topic title like ever!
In about a month, I'll be moving about 80 miles from where I'm living now. Enough of a distance that it'll necessitate a full move of all my possessions, right?
Well, I'm suddenly finding myself tempted to seriously thin down my possessions, to those that either I'll be making steady use or, or that have some emotional value to me otherwise. The latter bit of that doesn't account for a great deal, actually, and they're typically very small, easily transported items.
But -- and, in the context of this site -- man, am I ever tempted to wade into my RPG collection and just start swinging the sickle o' doom. As to what I'll do with what I don't want...well, that's the problem.
I really don't have the time right now to put it up on eBay, which would be a fairly easy solution otherwise. There's no FLGS around here to unload upon. And I really don't know any gamers in the area anymore, other than a friend or two and none of them would be particularly interested.
So, assuming that I don't pack all the stuff up and sort through it later, what would other people's suggestions be? Making money off of the stuff would be nice, but it's not a necessity. If I could think of some sort of charitable organization that could make use of the material, I'd definately be tempted in that direction.
The other question is what I'll keep. At this point, I find myself leaning towards keeping a few core rulebooks for various systems, and getting rid of the supplements, worldbooks, and boxsets attached to them. After all, I've noticed that my desires tend towards making my own shit up anymore than using pre-existing worlds. The exception would be some of my 1st Ed. D&D materials, particuarly the old modules. I still like those, and can see getting use out of them.
Oh well, I'm using this thread mostly as an excuse to delay actually getting to work on this. If this is better suited to another area, feel free to move it.
