I have everything except hard copy of The Strategic Review and The Dragon, though many I only have in digital form. What I have in hard copy:
OD&D, Supplements I-IV, Outdoor Survival, Arduin Grimoire Vol I-III, First Fantasy Campaign, Adventures in Fantasy, Empire of the Petal Throne (one of the two original maps, the Different Worlds reprint), Holmes, BX, and BECM, fantasy literature, JG Ready Ref Sheets.
Hmm, I guess that's a pretty good selection of print versions...

And of course if we extend OSR to include RuneQuest and Traveller... Which, of course, we should. Well then... For RuneQuest, I have almost everything for RQ1,2, and 3 in print published by Chaosium or Avalon Hill (missing Creatures of Chaos 1, the Solo Quests, Land of Ninja, most issues of Wyrms Footprints). I have most or all of the Judges Guild stuff. I did the all electronic Rune Quest Classic Kickstarter so will have those missing Creatures of Chaos 1 and Solo Quests in PDF). For Traveller, I have 1977 Classic Traveller, Book 4, 1980 Book 5, Book 6, Book 7, 76 Patrons, Special Supplement 1, Special Supplement 2, Striker, Desert Environment, Muuntain Environment, Undersea Environment, The Traveller Adventure, Beltstrike, Azhanti High Lightning, Rescue on Galatea, The Harensa Project/The Stazhlekh Report, Legend of the Sky Raiders, Far Traveller Issues 1 and 2, Far Away Issue 1. Alien Modules 1 and 3, Was[winter, Simba Safari, and Marooned on Ghostring in print. I have the Classic Traveller CD-ROM, The Apocrypha 1, 2, and 3 CD-ROMs, and the JTAS CD-ROM for a pretty complete PDF collection. |

Wow! Some of you have a lot of old school stuff! Those of you who are RuneQuest players should start a thread about RuneQuest and fill us in on it!

Great to see that a lot of people have a lot of stuff. Yea, cool. I have had a lot of my stuff for many years. I did sometime back in the day get rid of a bunch of my Judges Guild stuff, and then bought again, and now have multiple copies of some bits. I sold my original CSIO way back when (it was a printing with all 17x22 maps) and then got an original version (and now looks like I have 2 copies of that, plus the later version with the single 8.5x11 book). I completed my map collection (I had not purchased CSWE back in the day) at Gencon back in the early 2000s, and then in 2005/2006 or so bought additional stuff on eBay (I think that's where the duplicate CSIO came from). It was also sometime around 2005/2006 or maybe a bit later that I collected up all the versions of Basic and Expert D&D (though not the rules cyclopedia), I had the BECM set from back in the day. In the realm of AD&D, my Players Handbook is my original from 1978, but I had sold all the other books, then in 2006 when I decided to play some old school we did a bit of AD&D and I picked up some of the books (one of my players giving me the DMG). I do sometimes reference the Monster Manual in my OD&D game for additional details, but so far not for new monsters. |

Hey tetramorph, what is some f the OSR stuff and what all do you have of Jimm's Planet Eris stuff. |

Admin Pete , the list of the OSR stuff I have is scattered throughout the above post. I also have the Dungeon Alphabet and the Dungeon Dozen. Both are good resources for fun-house style dungeons. I have Matt Finch's Tome of Adventure Design. Very nice, if a bit "adventur-y" rather than "module-y," which I prefer. I have Jimm's book one for Planet Eris house rules. I have parts of what he is turning into his second book, a gazetteer for the planet. That's about it. I don't really study rules as "systems" anymore, as I have settled on what works well for me. I just like resources for campaign ideas and tables for generating random stuff (or inspiring imagination for me to come up with my own stuff, which is more likely).

-3LBBs (printouts stapled into booklets)
-Wayne R/Cadriel's "OD&D Setting" (printout)
-Zenopus's reference sheets (printout)
-AD&D player's handbook (hardcover)
My DM has the original white box, FFC, JG RRsheets, etc, but I'm not so fortunate.

Admin Pete, You just reminded me . . . Have used The Complete Warlock, though not recently. Gary's Great Plains thief write-up. Strategic Reviews also, but did not check that box since it says hard copy—would it count if I printed those out?

Well @ magremore, I am not the OP, but IMO all of those count whether you print them out or not. |

Of course, one of the best resources are everything that ERB and REH wrote along with all of the pulps. CL Moore is also a favorite.

A good set of encyclopedias, dictionaries of myth and legend, and scientific books and encyclopedias are at the top of the list. |

Leeming's book is new and I found it at my local library. The Ancient Gods is from 1960, my library had to order a copy from an other library, but they wanted it back before I could finish it. I did find a copy at the Internet Archive archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.105367. You can find other books by the same author there that might be useful. |

I have a pretty good library of non-fiction resources. That reminds me I need to go back and do some re-reading of fairy tales.
