So check it out, these are all the Paper and Pen RPG books in my house that me and my game troup gathered over the years.

Impressive. I'll have to get around to gathering mine together in one place and get some shots of it. Looks almost as big as the one I've got. Years ago, I was actually fortunate enough to purchase a pre-existing collection of Vampire books (by the pound!) from former OES member Pandora the Fallen when she switched to Vampire: Requiem, which started me down the terrible path of collecting. I see you have some rares in there, including the Salubri, Baali and Cappadocian clanbooks. My absolute favorite is Gehenna, because it essentially lays all the mysteries to rest. I'm also partial to anything by Black Dog, especially the Last Supper Giovanni Chronicle. I recently won a copy of Pentex that I'm looking forward to reading that details all the juicy subcorporations that Pentex controls.
The Shadowrun portion of your collection makes me sad. You know, I had an up and running version of the Redmond Barrens as proof of concept for the Shadowrun MMO before they shut me down? One of these days, when I've got few dozen million dollars, I swear.
Back to White Wolf though, you should look into Exalted. Specifically the caste known as the Abyssals and the realm of the Underworld. The Death Lords and the metaphysical construct that comprise the theme to the Underworld is epic. It takes all the brilliance of Wraith the Oblivion, which influenced a vast portion of OES, by the way, and refines it to a high polish. If I were going to do UO again as a primary and had the balls to leave Moonglow to its own machinations, I would drive some hardcore Death Lord Abyssal roleplay. Spine chains, labyrinth magic, nephracks, oh yeah. _________________

Ressurecting this post from the dead, because last night, I went and bought new books. $300 of them.
Hi, My name is Adrian, and I'm a roleplayer.
I love your collection. I should post a video of mine, but it would make some people cry. Why? To me gaming is not a hobby, it is a mindset.
In 1978, for my 8th birthday, my sister took me to the hobby store near our house, to let me pick out my because I was an avid model railroader (with my older brother) and I wanted to start building my very first "layout".
We were derailed.
There on the shelf was a box "Dungeons and Dragons Basic Set", and Russ, the shop owner said to us "Hey (my sisters name) little Guy (my middle name, the name I went by for the first 13 years of my life) likes reading, right? (I was already known as a prolific reader, as I always had a book in hand everywhere I went) He might like this, we just got it in. It's a game that's like a book but you make up the stories yourself."
32 years later, I still have parts of that box set.
Gaming became a passion for me.
I have written and contributed for West End Games, Steve Jackson Games and TSR. I worked for Wizards of the Coast for a few years as a delegate - I went to game stores and taught people to play games. I was paid...in games.
My six and a half year old son wanted to play DnD with me, as he saw the fun his uncle, aunt, me and his mom had playing games as a family every week. I made a simple rule. i handed him a players handbook. "When you can read this, do the math and understand how to make a character, you can play with us." At eight, he was a regular fixture in our weekly DnD game, with Brother White Eagle, an elven monk. At eleven, he is now designing an Oriental Adventures styled campaign to run for 4 of his friends. My seven year old daughter has now caught the bug, and is asking about DnD.
I'd film my books to give you scope, but it's not a stack, it's not a shelf, it's a room.

Nice stack by the way.
I have three copies.
1) Original printing that has the Cthulu and Elric mythos in it that was published before rights were secured.
2) Later printing with the Cthulu and Elric stuff taken out
3) Legends and Lore rename printing from the "Orange Binding" era of 1st Edition.
It's sad. The books...they are like heroin. _________________
