I know back when I first posted in the INTRODUCE YOURSELF thread, I spoke about uploading a picture or two of my collection as soon as I had some to post. Well, I got to thinking, "Wouldn't it be cool to look and see what everybody's collection looks like? How about their gaming groups? or even the space where they game?" SOOOOO... I made this thread!
I'll kick it off, with a couple of pics of my collection. It may be modest, but I am very proud of it (and remember, I focus on MODULES) :

Here's a closeup shot....

... well, I'll post more when I get the chance, got my game on Saturday, and I'll take a pic or two while I'm there to add to the thread.  :)

Aside from the fact that some collectors have commercial warehouses filled with stuff...
Do they play with any of it, or is it all simply stored in the warehouse to brag about?
I know that does not apply to most collectors here but for some…. Yeah.

Good collection and thank you for sharing your photos.
What are the two spiral books on the center shelf - left end?
What are all those binders filled with?

Well, as I have ended up with a few orphaned collections in my search, I have come across quite a few "oddball" pieces. You've got a good eye - those two spirals are "Creative Campaigning" and "Dragonomicon" (respectively), b&w front & back xeroxed pages, then bound (I assume from some place like Kinko's) - I suppose he wanted a copy, but the best he could do was xerox his buddy's. (LOL). They were, however, done with great care... I just couldn't bring myself to throw them away.

The binders are my immediate campaign access HQ - from the current scenario & notes, NPCS, PC Character Folders, and several contain maps and demographic information about my world & cities found there (all drawn up using the template from City Systems boxed set). I have a habit of going alittle overboard on the details.  :lol:

bracton is coming over to my house tomorrow for our bi-weekly game session, and he is (probably) bringing his camera to take some pictures (which will make their way here eventually) since several people have asked for pictures of various things over the past year. i apologize for not remembering the requests because i had not anticipated bracton's largesse, so i had not anticpated that pictures would be forthcoming. so please post here, or pm me, with things that you wanted to see images of and we will do our best. if you don't read this until later, well bracton might not bring his camera until the next session at my house, so send pm's anyway.

Okey okey okey, from what I can see, the LEFT side is pretty self-explanitory, but if you wouldn't mind, could you go over the right side of the bookcase? Go shelf by shelf, kinda gimmie an idea of what I'm looking at here. You don't have to name every module, just give me the metadata on each shelf.... if you don't mind.

Oh, and BTW.... YER COLLECTION FRIGGIN' ROCKS.

You know, it would be nice if all these thread with pics of people's collections could be combined and then stickied so that we wouldnt lose track of them.  :D

I second that. I tried in the past to explain what collecting means, with every print of every copy being necessary, but pictures paint a thousand words...

If you believe that ADVANCED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS is a game worth playing, you will certainly find it doubly so if you play well.

I remember these threads, some collections are amazing. Wonderful stuff there. (but some girls say that the size is not important :lol: is it right?)

One day, I will need to take pictures of mine too  :roll:  we have a thread like this on a French forum and I promise as well.
