>>97650471Already posted some time ago, here's my poorfag shelf.
>>97650714>>97650720>>97650725
>>97650471Please excuse the dustiness of my shelf
i don't 'do' shelves as such, also i am not really a fa/tg/uy i accidentally wandered in from another board, but i have these games and IMO that's all you need.
>>97650471
>>97650757How do you find the time and executive function to read all of those?
>>97650879I am willing to believe anon put all of that together during the years. I have a good amount of books myself, mostly read, some still to be. I focus on reading more than once the books that I'm going to use first, others I buy to read but if the group is not interested I can read them later.
>>97650879was wondering the same thing, you put it perfectly.no sarcasm or anything, >>97650757, that's a really cool collection. we're on the same page about hobbies and interests. but how do you also be a functioning adult in his 30s/40s???
>>97650741You sound like someone who might know. I'm looking for modern Italian fantasy/fantascienza authors (beyond Paolini).Any tips? I want to read in Italian anything that's not a translation.(I got Naila di mondo and La discendente del Ladro, wich appears to be some romantasy maybe made with AI, but i'm just at the beginning)

>>97650820Why do you have two FR greyboxes and only one Moldvay box?
>>97650879They are a lot, but not that many. Besides, you only completely read books and manga, the rulebooks are to peruse once and reference later, and a lot area bought for the sake of it.
>>97650866Is... is that a version of das Schwarze Auge reimagined by German furries?
>>97650917>how do you also be a functioning adult in his 30s/40s???Anon, I know the perception can be distorted looking around here, but let's get this straight: there's lots of deranged people gravitating towards these hobbies of ours, yes, but they are deranged first, and they (at least) claim interest in the hobby after that. Engaging with the hobby doesn't make you disfunctional.
>>97650927nta but I also come from spaghettiland, and the truth is I don't really know of any recent italian authors, didn't really check modern stuff. I used to think licia troisi was shit, but turns out she's just bland. Good enough if you are starting out with the genre or want to work on your italian, there's much worse around lately.
>>97650879not the guy, but you could easily play/read all of those (and some multiple times) if you've been in the hobby for even 10 years, sometimes even 20 or 30 years. you're thinking like this was all collected at the same time.
Shelves are a bit unorganised, could definitely do to get rid of a few books. Got all the Soulbound stuff from a guy at my old LGS selling them for a fiver, never opened them.
>>97650927Unfortunately no, sci-fi isn't my forte. I can ask some of my friends though, if i get some suggestions and if the thread is still up i will post them.
>>97650963Oh, yea. Went trough the full Mondo Emerso, I forgot.I don't like her, she falls for every trope. Paolini at least was 15 when he started writing, he didn't know. Licia should have known better. "To enter the dragon academy you have to be human, male, rich, sponsored and over 30" "Can I enter? I'm a poor 15 y.o. elf"
>>97651019Eh, I see what the author was going for, at least she highlighted how she had to go against her feminine side to keep up, and had to work on that later, but yeah. Bland characters mostly, the epic reveals were pretty pointless, and by the end it was just underwhelming looking back. Still better than samantha shannon at least, she's my new all time low.
>>97650945Yes
>>97651059
>>97650937i just accumulate things (not intentionally) and i try to have a 'spare' of every thing i own (e.g. i have two copies of the Basic rulebook but not the actual box).
>>97651067If it's any help the looks of the animals doesn't really changeAnd they use normal fur patterns and species already in Aventurien and not neon colorsAnd they still act like animals to all the humanoids
>>97651202>roboTITexplain yourself
>>97650927Nta and not modern (as in not contemporary) but Emilio Salgari is basically Italy's Howard [spolier]also, as a morbid trivia, similarly to Howard, Salgari commited suicide but he got the extra mile by doing seppuku[/spoiler]
>>97651373Means "Robots" in Finnish. It was my childhood favorite book as can be seen from it being read to shreds.
>>97651377Yess! I read a lot of Sandokan when i was a child. Those were wonderful years X-)
There's open space because I moved my miniatures game books to the same closet that miniatures are stored. In storage at my parents' place: L5R 1st/2nd edition and various 2E AD&D books. Regret selling: 7th Sea 1E and various old and new WoD books.
not pictured: 62gb of pdfs and a closet filled with miniatures
How am I supposed to rate these shelves when they've got all that shit on it blocking most of the view.Take it all off before snapping the pictures. Not to mention most of these pictures don't even show the whole shelves.
>>97652052Well in my case i only have a section of it that's /tg/ relevant, why should i have the whole thing in frame?
>>97651502You now remember Sandopaper
>>97652052You have many clean shelves.Start r8ing or h8ing.Even better: add 3, steal 3, and burn 3.
>>97650757>TouhouHow's the transition going, sis?>>97651639The Avatar stuff is a little surprising in the context of everything else. Is there a story there?>>97651059Jesus Christ how horrifying
>>97650720It is absolutely absurd how much the Tome of Excess and Tome of Blood splatbooks for Black Crusade are going for on the used market.
>>97651639>drakborgenNajs>>97653413>>How's the transition going, sis?I like my penis just where it is

Heavy shelf
>>97655653Extra main books for my players.
>>97655658That seems nice to haveHow often do you lend out books?
>>97650471++for gurps-for aos6/10
>>97656620Less than I would like, the advent of Pdfs and Foundry mean they stay mostly shelved unless im planning a campaign.

>>97651175>and i try to have a 'spare' of every thing i own (e.g. i have two copies of the Basic rulebook but not the actual box).I do that with guns but I've never felt the urge to do that with books.
I may be cringe, but I am free
I don’t play RPGs but I do wargame and this is my bookshelf.
It's nice to see a few copies of WFRP2e.
>>97651575>Håtunaleken>Jägersro AND Travspelet>indeterminate amounts of dry boomer militaria>multiple shelves of hex-and-chit wargamesNow THIS is autism!

>>97650757nice futo

>>97658097you are really blurry too
My nice little shelf, this gave me an excuse to tidy it up a little, there is normally a pile of notes shoved on top of the books.Please excuse the 5E books I only use them for convention games because it's the thing the people are interested in, at least in my area, sadly.
>>97659145Thank you>>97659519No, attached to my crotch.And I'm clearly a virgin can't you tell by the shelves?
>>97660437>opasnost po zivot
>>97658852>HåtunalekenI have håtunaleken, kingmaker (AH 2E), modern edition kingmaker and AHs samuari. I used to own the Ariel first editor, but the Avalon Hill version is a straight improvement.All these games are basically the same, but with different levels of refinement
>>97660369How is the game?
>>97659931old phone, shakey hands
I stopped using my shelves for books and just put them all in boxes now. Out of all the games I've played in my life none are more depressing than tabletop roleplaying games. Have fun for me guys. I'm sticking to shit I can actually get to the table with people that don't want a full-time hobby.
Muh shelves 1/3
>>976653342/3

>>97665370
>>97665374
>>97665386
>>97650879>How do you read all those books?NTA but it doesn't take much time to read most of the books on the shelf. Under two hours for the thin ones because artwork, tables, stat blocks and shit eat up space. A beefy ass CRB might take a couple of days of casual reading sessions, but splats are easy to knock out and most of that is splats. Even easier if you are just skimming lore bits and focusing on mechanics.MOST splat fiends just hunt and peck ideas, items, mechanics, enemies, traps, etc though. A well laid out book makes it easy to do such a thing.
>>97655653Magic of Incarnum is one of the best overlooked splats in all of 3e.World's Largest Dungeon was hilariously poorly designed. It's really bizarre that they are remaking it. I remember the fold out map for it being freakishly big.
>>97665451>it doesn't take much timeAlthough I broadly agree, you must allow for newfags,
Fuck the new capture shit btw.and yea, I didn't got much new stuff since the 90s.
>>97665451Well I do tend to read most books at least twiceOnce to get through everything and then again when playing themAnd 2h of hobby time to sit down and read feels like a Sunday luxury to me and not something I can do every day
total board game count is 64.
>>97655658What's the cheapest you got for some of those books. I remember for a while people were just giving away their 3.5e stuff.
>>97663386perfect blend of western and japanese autism. Surprisingly deep with some characters having gimmick and combos
>>97665781Some were expensive but the completes most were under 20. All of these were gathered in the last 3 years as when I started playing we just used the online sources or digital books.
>>97666360What made you choose 3.5e over pathfinder? I am always interested to know. What kind of campaigns did you run or play in?
>>97665483Excellent collection venerable anonPretty jelly of Ere we Go and the OG necromunda rulebook ngl, I missed all those because I only started in 2002.Wish Id bought all the IA books + Throne of chaos/Monstrous Arcanum back in the day too instead of being a poorfag student
>>97665483Also:The rest of the Stuff.
>>97650757Now that's a shelf...
>>97650942>>9765120266% chance you are Ghey. That is, you sexually prefer men.You will have no anal continence past 40.
Any shelf that has warhammer in it has proven themselves to be utter slop.>>97650757One of the only good shelves
>>97667244>>97667278Thank you, it annoys the hell out of me that i forgot to fix the picture so that it is sideways tho
>>97650757>Railgun>But no IndexA+
>>97660369Hell yes.
>>97667278>"Any shelf that has warhammer in it has proven themselves to be utter slop.">Praise shelves with warhammer on it>>97667299It's actually easier to read the spines like this
>>97666371Simple answer is I didnt. I have the full pathfinder set as well and have play both quite a bit. Pathfinder is a bit easier to use just based on all of the online resources, but 3.5 has better spells and I like its feel alot more.
Here is mine, warts and all. I NEED MORE
>>97665386I only enjoy shadowrun 1st-3rd. What even is all of that?
>>97651639Nice Supremacy set!
>>97665483Nice, I think we got most of the same stuff.>>97666712I got an extra copy of you want, not sure how to facilitate a transaction on here though
>>97666712>>97670037Of the hardback Necromunda rulebook I mean. I did also have an extra ere we go but I recently sold that
>>97670037Ohhhhhh where did you get the printed netepic gold?
1/2I need to get a new phone so I can stop posting old out of date pics
Love all the shelfies, we need more!
>>97670018thanks, annoys me that I lack two expansions that apparently only got limited releases and therefor go for $50-$150 on ebay for a pack of cards each
>>97651639>MYFAGGOT
AD&D books in a box, not shown.
>>97665601Why both neon gods and city of remnants?
All my book crap over the years. Plus my pile of shame at the bottom as a bonus.
>>97677670Fuck me why do my pics always come out sideways on this website.
>>97677685You posting raw phone pics? Years ago 4chan started scrubbing metadata from phone pics. If a pic has been scrubbed of metadata by 4chan it posts sideways or upside down.
>>97677877Ah so that's why. I rarely do phone pics so this is new to me.
This is probably the best place to ask, since I would get banned on reddit and I don't want to interrupt other threads. Concerning 40k, its commonly stated that its a "Satire" and that the content is included and made over the top in order to mock it. But following that logic, doesn't the inclusion of diverse units mean that its mocking those units that were previously not included, presumably to not mock it? Is there a defining appendix or concordance that explains what is the satire and what is genuine?My underlying suspicion is that there was never any satire or mocking and it was just something the writers thought was cool, but that isn't what brings in the money now. So they pretend they were kidding and just print the money with what the masses ask for.
>>97677442>the madlad actually owns all of the Thos. Denmark OD&D variants
>>97672821>hhhhh where did you get the printed netepic gold?Printed it myself using Mixam.
Question for nobody in particular: why does literally *everyone* seem to have a copy of Call of Cthulhu d20, regardless of the other contents of their shelves?
>>97678082Guess I should have figured that out since I have custom prints on my shelf as well
>>97678396I don't really see that on display in these images.
>>97678424Eh, maybe you're right. I can't be bothered to grind through the whole thread to find out. I just felt like I saw it more often than I expected is all.
>>97678575You are right to think COC D20 is a gaylord way to play.
>>97663386you play with one hand
>>97678575I don't play CoC so don't have it. I'm just posting to say I do own Beyond the Mountains of Madness because I find it a great story.
>>97678575I got mine pretty cheaply, similar to the WoT d20 books.
>>97678065He makes good stuff. I've got all the Colonial Troopers and the Warriors of the Red Planet stuff, as well as the other miscellany shown.
>>97650471Filthy PDF enjoyer
>>97665388What's so great about translated 2nd edition 7th Sea?
