What else do you collect?

[hoobs88]

That's pretty much how I am with RPG stuff.  I pick it up mainly cause it's fun to read and tinker with (I like going through the character creation process when I get a new RPG - some are a lot of fun.  I'm looking at you T.M.N.T.)  I used to play D&D 4e through a meetup.com group locally, but stopped going because I never knew who was going to show up.  Playing with a bunch of random strangers doesn't lend itself well to roleplaying, imo. 

Comics, Games for games systems (Saturn, NES, SNES, Gens, Turbo) Metal, Role Playing books/guides (D&D, Blue Planet, White Wolf) and children.

How many children are in your collection?

Well, to start with the obvious, I collect game consoles & the games for them, but I also collect action figures (Transformers, Zoids, and other mech-type stuff), vinyl records, and insects (mainly cicadas).

90% of what I collect lately is video game related.  I used to collect other stuff, and I still have this stuff, but add less to my collections now.

- DVDs - I amassed about 250 horror DVDs, but now with the transition to digital and bluray, i stopped with getting so many movies.  I still pick up a movie or two a month, but far less than I used to.

- Horror movie memorabilia - I have a lot of signed horror movie posters.

- Sports cards and Garbage Pail Kids - Still pick these up, but far less frequently.

- Action Figures - I have mostly Street Fighter, Full Moon, and comic book figures.

My biggest hobby outside of gaming is watching baseball.  I try to get to a bunch of games all over the country each year, but that doesn't typically involve collecting anything but a souveneir or two.

Nice a fellow Full Moon Horror fan.

I collect games, as most of everyone else here, but also have a growing sealed game collection. I buy them more as a hobby and less to play them (and by play, I mean buying a second, used/cheap copy to play).

None of that new garbage though!

That's ok.

4th edition D&D sucks balls.



I buy tons of RP books.   They usually cost nothing these days.   I ignore most of the new crap though, because it's crap.

Most certainly, though it does kinda make for a nice tabletop strategy game. It's just a really stinky role-playing game.

I have to disagree with you here. There's still some good stuff out there. My understanding is that GURPS 4th ed is pretty good. Also, Castles and Crusades and a lot of free retro-clones are pretty good. Savage Worlds is pretty interesting, too. The system I like most to collect for, however, is an older one. I like Fuzion, by R. Talsorian and Hero Games. There were some anime sourcebooks that were fantastic (Bubblegum Crisis is one of the best).

Yeah, I enjoyed playing it as a strategy game, and I think it has the potential for good role-playing, but you'd need to find an experienced Dungeon Master and players because the rulebooks don't offer much in the way of actual roleplaying technique.  I woulnd't be opposed to playing it more in the future, but I'd much rather play D&D BECMI or one of its clones like Castles and Crusades.

I used to collect GI Joe & Star Wars stuff from 10+ years ago.  I collected a bunch of the newer He-man figures, including King Hssss & the snake men, though, the latest stuff is just too expensive, so, I don't collect those anymore.  There's also various game & anime characters I collected.  Got a nice Vash & Wolfwood, some Mega Man figures, some Samurai Showdown.

I still collect Transformers, basically everything released in stores(no convention stuff) starting from Beast Wars on up.  Around when the first movie came out though, my collecting settled down.  I have a good majority of the first movie figures....but, kind of don't care about them.  I did collect all the TF Animated figures.  That's the last major line I got.  Now I just get the occasional Classics/Generations to have my G1 characters all together, as well as the Masterpiece figures(including Megs).  Though, I don't buy repaints of MP figures, & probably won't get the new release of MP Prime with the trailer, etc.  I get tempted to get some of the Transformer Prime figures, some of them are pretty nice looking, but, I'm just at a point where financially & physically(as in, the space I can fit these figures in) I can't do it anymore.

I do like to pick up alot of anime, old US cartoons(Pac-man, M.A.S.K, Wheelie & the Chopper Bunch, Darkwing Duck, the original TMNT, etc.), & generally any Marvel & DC cartoon series & movie on DVD or Blu Ray(Batman Animated Series, Justice League, Wolverine & the X-men, the recent Avengers cartoon, etc.).  I've been replacing alot of DVD stuff where possible with Blu Ray editions to save space.  For instance, my DBZ movies on DVD, are 2 DBZ movies on Blu Ray(except Broly is all 3 Broly movies).  I also ofcoarse get all series season set of the various Transformers shows.

TurboGrafx/PC Engine systems and games, Neo-Geo MVS carts, and the occasional Transformers figure if I have a large desire for it. Also have a small collection of Ultima games that I couldn't part with if I had too.

Used to have 500+ TFs, but sold a good majority of them though as finance, family, and space constraints makes it very hard to keep up a large collection. Most of my figures are rotting away in tupperware totes now due to lack of display room. I personally feel that if you can't display your collection, (as in see, touch, show to others) what's the point of having them. Seems like a waste to me. Used some of the cash from sold figures to increase my Turbo/PCE game collection which is sitting pretty on a CD/DVD shelf for all my world to see.   The wife just gives me the look when I stand staring and drooling at my games.

How many children are in your collection?

Proud to say: 13 year old, 11 year old, 7 year old, 4 year old, and a 11 day old baby boy
4 boys, 1 girl.  Five in total.

[Necromancer]

11 day old, eh?  Congrats on the new lil!

Yes i gotta agree, I tried to give the new stuff a chance but it just seems so cheesy and badly made now. I know Full Moon is a B movie studio but do they gotta make it look really bad lol ?
