That's nice. As a part of my retro experience bonanza i started coming back also to old RPG books, first and second edition (Advanced) D&D most nominally.

I find some equally expensive as Amiga 1200 without capacitors changed, but hell nostalgy has no price limit for a dedicated soul sometimes.

Luckily as an anology to emulators, those old rpg books come as legal or illegal PDFs of various qualities, that can be self printed.

I purchased back some genuine 1e/2e books in various vintage books, also have some self-printed and binded with glue/sewing and leather cover by professional book binders.

Library looks impressive now after 2-3 years of collecting and recollecting, but most interesting is to actually read through them and try to have a reflection about those old world settings or rules.

I don't dream to play again as I don't have anybody interested locally anymore and playing with kids being 43 is not exactly my option.

But still, sentimental trip back the memory lane with those old DragonLance, Forgotten Realms, GreyHawk, Planescape or recently Birthright worlds is pretty enjoyable experience for me.

Did anybody here discover similar passion?
