James Maliszewski asks for photos of the bookshelf you most frequently use in gaming. Mine changes fairly often as books get shuffled around, but this is it at the moment:
- Stonehell
- Ready Ref Sheets
- Realms of Crawling Chaos
- AD&D Players Handbook
- AD&D Monster Manual
- AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide
- Tome of Adventure Design
- Swords & Wizardry Core
- AD&D Fiend Folio
- OSRIC
- Labyrinth Lord
- LL Advanced Edition Companion
- Arduin Trilogy
- Playing at the World
- The Hobbit
- The Lewis Chessmen (which are my reference for dwarves)
- a few Conan collections
- Ill Met in Lankhmar
- The Iliad
- The Odyssey
- Carcosa
- Borges Collected Fiction (I'm undecided about the new translations)
- The Book of Imaginary Beings
- The Arabian Nights
- Dying Earth
- Lem's The Cyberaid (Trurl and Klapaucius are basically Vancian wizards)
- a Lovecraft collection
- Vorheim
- OD&D vI-III and Greyhawk
- Swords & Wizardry WhiteBox
- A Book of Surrealist Games
And, on the end, a few movies:
- Thundarr
- Fantastic Planet
- La Planète Sauvage
- Land of the Lost (complete original TV series)
- a Ray Harryhausen collection
The shelf below this has a couple of magazine boxes full of modules and some three-ring binders, but their spines aren't particularly distinctive. The Greyhawk Folio, Holmes, Molkday, Cook, the LotFP Grindhouse box, and the Astonishing Swords & Sorcerers of Hyperborea box are down there too.
Very cool. I enjoy seeing these!
ReplyDeleteThe Lewis Chessmen, The Arabian Nights, Homer, Borges, Tolkien, Vance, Lem and Harryhausen? This shelf is made of concentrated awesome! I hope you wear some kind of protective goggles.
