INSTALLMENT FOUR: OUR GAME COLLECTION
AKA THE PITY POST
As you'd imagine, John and I have quite a large game collection, so much so that it's spread out into multiple locations ... 5 shelves of D20 books plus 3 shelves of Atlas RPGs and card games are at the office, an entire closet of non-Atlas board games and card games are at home, and another 8 unopened cases of CCGs are in the basement along with around 15 boxes of old magazines like Dragon. But right now I'd like to compare our non-D20, non-Atlas RPG collection, which comprises 10 shelves downstairs.
I'd not mentioned this particular collection before because, to be fair, the RPGs I brought into our marriage took up 2 shelves, while the rest were John's. So, point to him there ... congrats, honey!
(Though of course, he didn't actually PAY for most of his, and I was a poor grad student at the time, so finances had something to do with that. And anyway, our good friends in the industry will know how finely honed my swag-collecting skills are, and intuit correctly that our collection has improved and increased dramatically due to my efforts over the past 9 years.)
But I am going to claim a point for actually setting up the shelves, unpacking all of his RPGs, sorting through them to get rid of about 6 boxes of doubles, and organizing them all by game system ... OCD has to count for something, right?
GEEK SCORE:
Michelle = 4
John = 1
Ahh... but do you have copies of Kobold Quarterly? ;)

Oh, hey! I forgot to mention the half-bookcase full of video games, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat installment! The geek battles remind me of our game nights where we design team logos. I've been using this Graffiti Generator to make custom text art for our group – perfect for adding a street-art vibe to our game sessions.
