I love dcc and cairn, and currently enjoying shadowdark immensely. Flirting with call of Cthulhu as of yesterday ( played the solo adventure), think I might take an interest in skill based systems now!

Funny, just finished scarlet citadel (pretty unsatisfied with the 5e dungeon crawl experience) and currently running a few shadowdark one shots as a result. I love the simplicity, clarity and conciseness of it compared to 5e and the armada of retroclones at the other end of the spectrum. Oh yeah and the speed of combat might be the best thing overall.

This is truly great! I really appreciate the summaries as well, so i don’t have to open tabs for everything to find out if I am even interested. I also realised that the fediverse reemergence goes very well with the reimagining of the web experience that the people working on arc browser are doing! Check it out, it is great for a workflow involving multiple sites bookmarks etc

The arcane library discord I find quite lively, but i also do miss conversations that are more structured around topics rather than channels. Are there any good blogs you are aware of?

yeah, I agree with your approach. My collection is maybe 20 books total, but I run 1-2 games a week. 5e core books + tasha & xanathar, plus some adventures (3), monsters (2) settings books (2). Outside of 5e there is Call of Cthulhu, Pathfinder 2e+Bestiary, and DCCRPG + a handful of modules. I recently ran a third party module that drew on a lot of books, it was a nightmare to DM.

I have both organised, but I just deem my physical collection "real". I only play the games & adventures I own physically. My digital collection is mostly cheap humble bundle stuff that I browse around in for fun or for inspiration for preparing my next session, just stealing small things here and there.

I just had a moment where I downsized my RPG book collection. Do you ever weed out your collection? I find myself becoming a bit of a headless chicken, sometimes more interested in what the promise is that a book might hold, rather than diving in deep into the ones I already have. This superficial engagement with many books I find very unsatisfying. The books I cherish most are the ones that I have really sunk my teeth into, and I have a feeling that there is still a lot to discover in some of those that I haven't revisited in a while. Master the tools you have, rather than acquiring ever more barely used tools. Just wanted to air my thoughts, quite happy right now with my smaller collection of things I really cherish.
