A Tour of my Game Collection

[@noahsteinberg5893]

Wow. A true treasure hoard! What’s amazing is that you managed to hold on to so many of the original items from your youth. I also have been fortunate to have 40-plus years of games in my collection. You have some very wonderful items. Thank you for sharing the guided tour.

Nice to see Traveller on your shelf. I was a regular gaming friend of Frank Chadwick about 13 years ago. Never knew he was part of the team that made the game until I got into Traveller a few years ago hah. Core Worlds is a great deck building game! One of my favorites to play. You have a nice collection of games!

[@scottmcley5111]

Would like your take on Blackmoor. Nice collection!

[@RodBatten]

This was pretty close to watching someone else go through my game shelves, but I suppose every old school grognard will get that feeling. I felt a few twinges of envy, too. 😁

Beautiful video I don't have nearly as much older D&D stuff as this but as far as ttrpgs I do have a much larger collection than this but still gorgeous collection and wish I had all this beautiful older products makes me feel so nostalgic for those days when I was in my early teens playing AD&D 2e.

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

Thanks much! I used to have a much larger collection, but sold off a ton of stuff a couple of years ago. I wanted to trim it down to things I might conceivably play, or just reference, in the future.

[@dangarthemighty0980]

@@GreyhawkGrognard Sounds reasonable and it's still an awesome collection.

[@QuickSaveF5]

Wow. So much cool stuff. Great collection. I would like to play at your table some day.

[@hotemet]

Like you, I still use my old books when I run games. They were meant to be read and played.

[@dongiovanni6796]

17:16 "You're probably more interested in the RPG stuff..." Not necessarily! Anyway, I loved this video. And yes, we played a ton of "Dune" in high school!

[@ScarletBrotherhood]

Excellent. I've been wondering what was back there for quite a few vids now. Glad you did this. Thanks!

Gimme a lamp a Beanbag chair, cereal, I'll just be the guy reading quietly in the corner for a year or so.

[@ardwulfslair]

Dangerous Journeys also has a place on my shelf. It's a mess but filled with wondrous ideas.

[@johngarlick7905]

Interesting how similar that is to my collection - including some of the board games - Valley of the 4 Winds (great nostalgia).

[@OffGridGamer2077]

Great collection. Thanks for the tour.

[@ballisticus1]

With your wargame and rpg background, I was surprised not to see Twilight 2000 in your collection.

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

That ended up in the "sell" pile a year or two ago. We played it a little back in the day, but it's not really something I envision playing again.

[@michaelr00ney]

Elric Battle at the End of Time would fetch a pretty penny. Nice review!

[@manders7868]

I see that your board wargame collection is mostly just as old-school as your RPGs. Which is fine. My first wargame was also Tactics II; me & my brother got that about the same time as we got the red-box D&D Basic Set.

[@TenkarsTavern]

Thank you for the shout out :)

[@Satori2046]

Well that's one hell of a collection ! Lovely video. I noticed these Living Greyhawk books you didnt mention :) You must really hate this take on Greyhawk, can't wait for your 1 hour video on this era haha Cheers !

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

Yeah, I'm really not a LG fan. I will do a video on the subject some day; it'll take more than a bit of research.

[@BoydJones]

I hope you can make digital and analog backups for posterity! I’m sure the Smithsonian might be interested one day.

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

Lol! I doubt the items in my poor collection are museum-quality. They've been used for play and research for 40+ years, and are showing the wear of years.

[@calvanoni5443]

I just picked up a bunch of chainmail minis, mostly ones I never saw before.

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

I really like the little bits of campaign background they included with the minis sets. It's all grist for the mill!

[@shaunhall6834]

Way cool! I've played most of the games you showed. I'm curious if you ever played RuneQuest? That is my favorite rpg.

[@TheGeekDaddy929]

Incredible collection! I love looking at other people’s collections to see what I’m missing. Turns out I’m just missing a few things with AD&D. Also have you done a video covering Blackmoor? I’ve always been intrigued by it.

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

No, but doing one on Blackmoor-in-Greyhawk is on the list, eventually.

[@antonymcewan9987]

Awesome! Funny, I just bought a second WoG box set as my first one had no maps or box (lol) - so I gave away the "extra" books! Didn't see any 3e books there - did I miss them? Nice ToEE set too.

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

Nope, I skipped over 3.x and 4E. I do play 5E, but 1E (and my own retro-game, Adventures Dark and Deep) is my go-to.

[@Dave_L]

What is the "Castle Entertainment near-Greyhawk stuff" you mentioned @6:20? I've never heard of that and my Google-fu is apparently weak…

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

Ah homonyms are always a harsh mistress. www.caslentertainment.com

[@Dave_L]

@@GreyhawkGrognard Ah, thank you!

[@toddrohrer8680]

I have never herd about the reviced chainmail . Can you give me some info about it

[@flowthrake]

Can anyone explain how the D&D cartoon has remained so popular in Brazil?

[@adampender2482]

Hardbacks you need extra for the table. Yours are worn and used so not hoarding. What I hate is when people buy up every copy they see to drive the prices up. Noone needs 29 Greyhawk box sets. That's hoarding
