*Sigh!* Let me count the ways...

- I've got an almost full set of 1st Edition Exalted. Except for the first book I don't think I ever cracked a spine (and reading about the game's complexity I doubt I'll ever read it beyond the fluff).

- I've got an almost full set of 1st Edition Tribe 8 (missing the maps). This one is even more daunting to read, as the fluff here is fragmentary by different voices.

- the list of RPG.net darlings goes on...

- D&D 3.0. WotC only sold me 3 books (PHB, DMG, MM), but I don't think there's a third party publisher whom I didn't make a buck. Luckily I went cold turkey once 3.5 came out. I did start a campaign but I gave up around Level 5 because keeping track of characters and NPC's became too complex.
Correction: during my 4E Eberron campaign I also bought every 3.5 Eberron expansion available.

- D&D 4.0. Completist. Well, at least I got some use out of that though I really didn't need all those Power cards.

Quote from: Christopher BradyAll the games I've bought.  I go all out when I get as many as I can.

Ditto. + miniature Kickstarters.

Quote from: thedungeondelver;836810Miniatures.  Dear God, miniatures.

Oh yeah. That's one of my past money sinks too. That mania started for me in the 80s. I'm talking I have the kind actually made with lead. I have boxes of 1st and 2nd ed. 40K Minis that I haven't used in decades along with even more boxes of random stuff picked up over the years. Starships, vehicles and grunts from 6mm to 30mm. Hm... Now I wonder where my 1st ed. Gamma World minis went off to.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2e stuff - I bought most of the game line, ran a short campaign set in Middenheim, and that was about it.

Warhammer 40K RPG lines - For a short Dark Heresy campaign, I ended up buying most of Dark Heresy. I played in one session of Rogue Trader and ran a one-shot of Deathwatch, but somehow ended up buying the core books for the later games (Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Only War, Black Crusade, etc.) until I realized I had at least a foot of shelf space of incredibly thick books I hadn't even the time to read.

Bones II was a mistake.

When I was a young teen in the '90s I was obsessed with getting all of the TSR settings. I don't fully regret that, but a larger-than-justifiable percentage of my discretionary income went to chasing their glut.

Of recent purchases, the one I most regret is the MCG Superfan tier for Monte Cook Games' Strange Kickstarter. Love the game, but the Superfan Package was a ripoff. (You paid a $200 premium. You got less than $200 in additional material.)

I also regret The Slumbering Tsar from Frog God Games. Spent $150 on it on the strength of Rappan Athuk and I still haven't read more than three sentences out of it. It's just... ridiculously huge in a way that makes it almost impossible to conceive of using.

(Unlike, say, Ptolus or Rappan Athuk. Which are also ridiculously huge, but largely organized and written in ways that make them easy to use.)

EDIT: Does the ENWorld kickstarter count? Because that's actually the biggest regret. Morrus is a scam artist who has failed to fulfill my rewards and simply stopped responding to e-mails.

I got well carried away with Lamentations of the Flame Princess a couple of years ago. The Grindhouse edition lead to a string of if-LoTFP-kickstarts-it-I'll-throw-money-after-it and in the now infamous and neverending delays, I sort of got bored with it and discovered, that the fights in the system where rather boring (lotta whiff factor!) and a lot of the books way to gonzo for my taste... so now, as I still wait for a couple of late-late-fucking-late books, I'm considering putting most of it up for sale and just hanging on to Vornheim and Better than Any Man.

If I had to really pick a system/game that I really binged on, though...

I'd have to say Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.  I bought EVERYTHING for that game line, except Cybergenerations.  That was it, though.  Everything else I got.

I'm a collector with some 60+ linear feet of shelf space dedicated to RPG books and boxed sets. The largest chunk of a single system would be D20, specifically 3.5/PF. I also have far more dice than I will ever need.

I've gotten tons of use out of most of my gaming stuff.

But a few years back, I decided I needed the entire run of Street Fighter: the Storytelling Game and I laid out what was-- for me-- a pretty serious sum of money for them. I've only run two short-lived campaigns with it.

I bought complete sets of RMFRP, Spacemaster: Privateers, and Rolemaster Classic and I've never run any of them. This was back when I was trying to develop third-party supplements for ICE.

Everything ever published for the DC Heroes RPG (all editions), Buck Rogers XXVC and Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game (Marvel Saga), regardless of cost. It's one of those 'see it buy it' and not even pausing to think of whether it will ever see use or even be opened.

Also bought up every pre 5E version of D&D save the first (OD&D) one even though I've not played D&D in decades and the only version I ever considered running again was BECMI, which I owned in a battered well thumbed and barely held together state from my school days. Nostalgia? Idiocy? God knows. At least it was cheap.

Well, some of it anyway.

EDIT: And though I've purged several times, selling stuff because she who must be obeyed demanded it, I've still got mountains of stuff I've never opened, let alone played. Thankfully these days I recognise that wasting money on RPG books is an addiction of a kind, and *hopefully* have finished chasing books I'll never read. Heh. We'll see.

Fortunately, I don't think there is one of these for me.  There are a few product lines I've bought ridiculous amounts of stuff for: namely Mystara (all the gazetteers, almost all of the boxed sets, the almanacs, and a few other things) and Palladium products (every Robotech book ever and a shitload of RIFTS stuff), but in both cases I actually ran multiple very long campaigns with the material, so I guess I got my money's worth.

QuoteWhat RPG-product Have you Spent Way Too Much Money On?

I couldn't think of a game on which I spent too much money, but now that I remember, I could have spent less on Dragonlance stuff (that I never got to use), and above all, I should never have bought so many miniatures! (I have a lot in dust covered boxes, don't know how many, with 80% of them that were never painted ). Apart from the few minis used for the players' characters, and maybe a couple of monsters, this was really too much weight to carry up to the gaming table! (which wasn't at home.)

Rifts books.

Quote from: RPGPundit;836465Be it books, dice, miniatures, etc., what is it that you've ended up going a bit too crazy on?  What product line did you buy way more stuff for than you ever actually used?

Two words, Dwarven Forge! But man how it looks when it is setup.

See I've spent a ton on Dwarven Forge but I don't think it's "way too much"; in fact I think it's not enough

The number one sign that you have.  

But as long as you have fun with it, who are we to argue, ne?
