The Italian games could be of interest

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Very nice.

Nice to see the collection in pics.

Wondering.... What are you using for book ends?

Thought I would throw some pics up of my humble collection. This is not all of it, but quite a lot.

Well, it doesn't seem so humble to me :wink:

The Small Press stuff (I'm doing this from memory as I'm at work right now) includes: Pacesetter, midkemia, Pied Piper, pretty close to complete run of Beholder fanzines, Weaver Queen Manuscript (Tim Kask), Return to Tegal Manor Manuscript (Killjoy), Hellgate by Tim Kask, and a bunch of other stuff I cannot remember off the top of my head.

Lovely pics, just the sort of stuff I like to see.

Over the years I've we've seen pictures of a few collections and game rooms - some very stand out ones indeed (IO, Stratochamp, AdderMccone sprint to mind). I'm generally very envious of peoples stuff but I'm actually more envious of the fact that some guys have all this stuff on display! Just to have the shelf space (and a Mrs Gyg who wasn't an anti-gamer!) in my home would make me a happy bunny indeed.
As it goes all of mine is in plastic storage cases in the loft - with one always under the bed, on rotation, as I actually do read through this stuff.
The good lady was away for a few days at the beginning of the month so I was able to take inventory and clear some crap out - you just don't realise how quickly this adds up do you!

This is pretty much it for me - as well as a box of Traveller and 4 or 5 boxes of miniatures!

When I win the lottery I have the plans pretty much finalised for the games room I'll have - which is pretty sad bearing in mind I haven't rolled a dice in anger for the better part of 20 years

Happy days

Nice collection, gyg. Cool rug/or carpet!. Get yourself a bookshelf and let the collection breath the fresh air.

When the collection gets a shelf I'll be getting all the fresh air I need due to sleeping on a park bench!
