Anybody out there have a copy of "Toy Battle" they no longer want?

I uploaded it. Hopefully it'll be approved.

I do not collect. I purchase with the intent to read, consume, use, and play. I keep a lot, mostly because I liked the ideas contained within it and I keep it as a reference in the future. Some things collect dust, and some get purged when space becomes an issue. There are plenty of things I've purchased in the past that I never really get to use as often as I intended, but just RPGs. Just don't look in my tool bin!

The Mythic Game Master Emulator has a suggestion for using bookcases of books/folders of PDFs for "meaning" in-game by randomly selecting (via dice) books and pages and using something from whatever page you end up on as a "prompt" for an encounter, conversation, meaning, etc. I think that will give me another reason to never get rid of any RPG stuff that I would never use for anything else other than reading entertainment. It doesn't even have to be RPG stuff actually.. magazine, comic books, novels, anything really you might have stacks of. I've been thinking of getting my old Dungeon magazines out of the attic for it.

I enjoy reading them. And even though I might not play every game I can take ideas from them to use in others.

Did my wife ask to post this question? 😜I enjoy reading them. And even though I might not play every game I can take ideas from them to use in others.

I used to have a huge collection of AD&D stuff that I realized I'd never play (after running S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks RAW I realized 1e had no place in my life) so I liquidated those assets and others (The Entire Rifts set at the time) but I kept those things that gave me joy so while I still have a large collection and I don't plan on playing much of it, I enjoy reading those books.

I have a bunch (not a crazy bunch, just a bunch) of RPG related material that I’ve collected over the years. This winter, I sorted through it, kept the stuff I wanted (about a 2 moving boxes full), asked my son to sell the rest on eBay and splitting the profit. I have weaned myself off picking up new material and I am trying to do the same with minis - although I would not part with any of my already painted minis. Too much time and fun invested in them.

Sometimes, those games sitting on the shelf are useful. And they're fun to read. Plus, my kids get into those games now and they get pleasure (and ideas) from reading them. So all-in-all, I don't mind the stuff sitting on my shelf. It's all good and wonderful.
