Migrating from another discussion elsewhere, in which Airboy asked

How many rpg systems do you own the core rules for?

but also tweaking that slightly....

[bayonetbrant]

Color-coding for

DARK BLUE = played a lot
ORANGE = not even really read them, but at least skimmed

Most of these are in PDF form.

yeah, I didn't even try to list the PDFs I have

[bbmike]

I updated the list to show physical copies.

[bayonetbrant]

I updated the list to show physical copies.

I'm just afraid that if I start compiling my PDF list, someone will end up filing a missing person's report on me next Tuesday.  Plus, the bulk of my PDF list is likely to be orange/red and almost no blue, unless it's a PDF copy of something I've also got physical copies of

[bbmike]

 I hear you. I have a ton more PDFs beyond what I listed. 

[BanzaiCat]

Nerds!

[bob48]

Tales one to know one!

[Bison]

I feel quite restrained in my RPG collection after having compared my to Brant and Mike lists.

[Martok]

Good lord, I feel like a midget compared to you guys. 

I can claim familiarity with perhaps 5-6 RPG systems, no more.  And that's counting both AD&D and 3.0/3.5 D&D as two separate systems. 

[bbmike]

In my case I have read a lot of them. I think that's why I have so many. I love to read through them. Now as far as actually playing them...

[bayonetbrant]

I've read way more of mine than not - love the underlying info.  My biggest issue was always finding other people willing to play a new system just for the heck of it, instead of always falling back on the same systems over and over.

[BanzaiCat]

Same for me. Enjoy reading them, but playing? Not enough time.
