Chris and I finally put our book collections
togeather, and all our sourcebooks fill a 2foot wide 5
shelf book case. We decided to not put any other types
of books in there because, well, frankly they wouldn't
fit and those are the books we use most often. Since
we have -almost- all the books we want so far for
roleplaying purposes, he's gone into getting the 1st
editions ect of all the gaming books, so he did
actually have that monsterous manual in the episode,
though he hasn't used it yet(?).
Do you suppose now, or any time in the future, there
will be a big market for "Antique/Classic Roleplaying
Source Books"? I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen any
on the Antiques Roadshow yet, but I don't watch -that-
often... *shrug*
