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.

James just reminded me - how could i forget?

My Rolemaster/MERP collection is easily as large as my WotC collection. It's probably a tad larger, in fact.

Zach, You could have HinterWelt at the top of the list if you are interested in doing reviews. ;)

If we discount HinterWelt (I mean, for me) then it probably goes MERPs, AD&D and oWoD tied then a ridiculous number of scifi games like Blue Planet, all Star Treks and Star Wars, Aliens RPG.

Try the Aliens RPG from...crap, Steel something. Viscious game. You made up several characters and used them like hit points. Oh, the pain!

I owned some game stores once in the 90s. God, the crap you accumulate. :o

It was Leading Edge.  You're confusing the company with one of their other products, Living Steel.  :)
Now Prepping: One-shot adventures for Coriolis, RuneQuest (classic), Numenera, 7th Sea 2nd edition, and Adventures in Middle-Earth.

Recently Ended: Palladium Fantasy - Warlords of the Wastelands: A fantasy campaign beginning in the Baalgor Wastelands, where characters emerge from the oppressive kingdom of the giants. Read about it here.

Palladium.

All of the stuff for TMNT & After the Bomb (except for the "new" version of AtB), I think that's 12 books right there by a quick count, plus..

Heroes Unlimited
Palladium Fantasy
Old Ones

Easily Chaosium.  White Wolf gave them a run for their money at one point, and may even have eclipsed them due to sheer page count and production schedule, but I've purged the vast majority of my WW books.  Between RQ 2 and 3, and Call of Cthulhu, most of my shelf space is dedicated to Chaosium.

If you just count rules, then GURPS. If you count sourcebooks, Harn. Or maybe Ars Magica. That's just from a glance at the shelf.

Which is funny because mostly I run modern and futuristic campaigns...

Possibly Bard Games, because I have most the Talislanta 1e and 2e stuff; if you add in the 3e stuff from WotC, that would tip the balance even further.†

However I have a good amount Chaosium stuff, between RQ 2 and Elric/Stormbringer*, and if you include the Avalon Hill RQ 3 stuff, that adds a fair amount.

I've also got a moderate GURPS collection (SJG) and a middling set of Jovian Chronicles stuff (DP9).

* EDIT: also Pendragon and Prince Valiant
† Oh, and also the Bard Atlantis stuff.

It is D&D 3.5 with products from WotC, SSS, and AEG.

Off the top of my head, I would have to say that it's TSR with Steve Jackson Games as a close second, and maybe WotC taking the third slot.
