I have a buying problem. I buy too much TTRPG stuff. I see things, I get Dragon Sickness, and then I purchase them. Sometimes I'll sell them just so I can buy more stuff. There is something to be said about being a collector for sure: I love these books, and--at least in the past--they tend to become more valuable over time, but truthfully, I am often just buying stuff to buy it. There is so much TTRPG product out there, and it is so incredibly compelling to me, that I feel like I am trying to drink from a fire hose. In January, I realized I spent close to $600 on game stuff! A bunch of books from Troll Lords, a bunch of online stuff for Foundry/Forge, and an entire expensive set of books for Dolmenwood. It's not like I don't have the money, but when I added it all up, I was given pause. Felt wasteful. So for Lent, I decided to not buy anything at all re: gaming and books. Sounds like such a simple thing to do, and it is, but...it's hard. I have noticed the tempation already, multiple times in just one week. I crave...I covet...I desire...I needs it...I wants it..the Precious...
We have been playing Lord of the Rings, which is fun. I have wanted to get my C&C Greyhawk game going again, but things at home are often times unstable due to issues with my younger daughter, so I can't really focus or commit to game mastering. I've been feeling a bit off lately, too, so that's made things spicy. I have been dicking around with different adventure ideas that I have, trying to lock in and figure out what I want to work on next. Generally speaking, all is well right now, so I'll save my money and use my imagination for free for the next several weeks.
