Role-Playing Game Books
I started collecting game books when I was in elementary school. I played a fair amount of RPGs in high school, but I bought the books mostly for my own reading pleasure and, in some cases, for the sake of the collection. I don't buy new game books anymore, but when I was younger, I was drawn to the detailed world-building and fantastic art which provided a backdrop upon which I could exercise my imagination. Below is my list of role-playing game stuff, and I've included some cover scans of my favorite books.
