I collect PDFs, but not the crap you can buy online. The only way to get good quality PDFs is to make them yourself.

I have a small collection of manuscripts and some mint Judges Guild stuff, but that's just 'cos I can't get good quality scans of the hex maps.

I'm keeping my current list of PDFs I've made on my site. Every one is a 600dpi scan.

99% of everything I buy and scan is resold eventually.

i love judges guild stuff, without a doubt. my collection is about 70% judges guild and the rest TSR and other non-TSR stuff.  i also love obscure stuff too.

i buy way too much JG stuff....but sorry its just gotta be done

first edition stuff is my great love because it brings back memories  of learning the game as a teenager.  Plus its a nice way of building up little inexpensive collections for each of the kids to have when  they are older.  Even their mother approves if I keep the spend sensible and that's a first since we split up I can tell you!!!  :lol: To  me getting a  really well kept A1 that I can bag for them whilst they use my beaten to crap copy is pretty rewarding.  Now all I have to do is make sure they get awesome jobs and keep me in ST1, Tosjconth, PotVQ etc, etc etc  :roll:

I collect things I remember having/playing/wanting to buy when I first got involved in playing RPGs, amongst other things.  My highest priority is to finish out my 1st ed/oDnD collection.

I've been collecting the D&D action figures but I'm thinking about dumping them lol.

I started collecting OD&D/1E purely for nostalgia. I wanted to pick up all the modules I remembered seeing in the shop and advertised which I didn't have enough money to own at the time.

But somehow my collecting seems to have broadened. At some point I'm sure I will have to embark on a process of rationalisation and get rid of the 2E/3E stuff. But I'll put that off until tomorrow for now

I have seen every kind of collectors and then some  :) and everyone has his/her own tastes.

Personally I'm most interested in "old" material - 1st AD&D and old D&D. The rest is all consequences - eg when you buy lots, you actually get a lot of material you don't have and so you stuff into its convenient place next to the other.

So, it comes out that I have a lot of "playing" 2nd edition material, but no 3rd - IMHO this is another RPG entirely - miniatures, that I paint and play with. I have lots of other systems and non TSR material - bought many years ago, that I have recently recovered from the dungeon under my ex-wife lair  :lol: and sometimes, when I see soemthing on ebay, my compulsive buying mental disorder kicks in and I find myself unable to resist to my instincts...
