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.

Definitely the '90s World of Darkness line for me. That was a time when I had an significant disposable income for the first time ever. My weekly trip to the game store wasn't an issue of whether to buy books. It was question of what books I was going to buy. White Wolf had their supplement treadmill cranking in those days, so their books were always an available option.

I doubt that any game company ever put out so many books with so little content that was usable at the table. However, they won me over early on with good books like Chicago by Night. It wasn't really until Changeling came along that I truly soured on the line.

I bought a lot of GURPS books, many of which never saw use. I don't feel bad about those though. Even the ones I haven't used yet are generally solid supplements, so they carry the potential to see use one day. Whereas most of WoD line would be utterly worthless even if I decided to run those games again.

I dabbled in minis in high school around the time 40k first hit the shelves. Minis were always my best friend's thing though. He'd even paint all of my minis for me. I did spend a fair amount on them, and when I went off to college, I gave them all to my friend. He was thrilled. Even though the mini bug never stuck with me, I can't really feel like any of it was a waste when it allowed me to give a gift to a good friend.

I put no monetary connection to my emotions when it comes to game expenditures. I'm a creature of intent. I game. I spend. I have ZERO regrets. There is no price that is too much for my hobbies as long as it's within reason.

I have spent a lot of money on games I rarely play (White Wolf shit these days). D&D 2e is probably the worst. I think I owned all of it. ALL of it. I used probably 70% of it at one time or another.

Wait, are we supposed to be regretting our purchases?  I mean, I collected too much of the CP2020 stuff, but only ended up using maybe 50% of it, but I literally regretted none of those purchases.

Then I withdraw my comment, no matter how much I spent, I never regretted any of it.

70% is actually an impressive statistic, especially when were are talking the entire AD&D 2E line.

I have bought many games I have never played and never will, (I should put them on e-bay or something) but I think dice is my goofiest thing. I never seem to leave a store without a new set of dice.

Ahh, OK.  I getcha.

Still, a fine set of character miniatures nicely painted is a good thing to have on a table.

What's the import cost down there?  You could use DDMs given how cheap they are.  Just sayin'.

lately all my RPG purchases have been in the category of 'spent too much money on' as I find myself between groups right now.  (I have mentioned my problems in earlier threads and won't repeat them here)

Sure I read the books and enjoy doing so, but the books aren't going to their intended use, and that disappoints me.

Totally and exactly.  Too many great games and too little opportunity to actually use.
Not as dumb as I look, sound, or best testing indicates.  Awful close, though.

Fortunately, I'm not interested.

And most imports are taxed 60%; of their total value, including shipping.
