I just had a moment where I downsized my RPG book collection. Do you ever weed out your collection? I find myself becoming a bit of a headless chicken, sometimes more interested in what the promise is that a book might hold, rather than diving in deep into the ones I already have. This superficial engagement with many books I find very unsatisfying. The books I cherish most are the ones that I have really sunk my teeth into, and I have a feeling that there is still a lot to discover in some of those that I haven’t revisited in a while. Master the tools you have, rather than acquiring ever more barely used tools. Just wanted to air my thoughts, quite happy right now with my smaller collection of things I really cherish.
I had a similar experience selling off older books, minis and the like. I still have - and continue to get - tons of new books but I’ll always miss my old 3e and pathfinder 3rd party books as I have no clue where I’d even find those anymore.
100% agree I’ll never sell any of them again. Worst case I buy another shelf for the basement and move them downstairs.
