It is right under the shelf that holds my printer at the moment, open with a pile of maps and notes sticking out of it.

Re: Where AS&SH sits on my shelf
It's the only RPG next to my computer. Flumph, I see you have the fighting fantasy RPG as well. Sweet!

I originally got it just for the Sorcery! book, being those were some of my favorite books as a kid. I've actually transplanted Khare into my AS&SH campaign. I love all the John Blanche art from those books.

Re: Where AS&SH sits on my shelf
Another fan of AFF here. Really love both the simplicity and diversity that the game offers. Still waiting for the Sorcery and Beyond the Pit books to hit the US so I can complete my collection.

Mine never even makes it to the shelf. Always on the desk or table!

Re: Where AS&SH sits on my shelf
Hey, ajtheronin, how does the box hold up to transport? We've only played at my place so far, but I think that for traveling I'd probably bring the books and leave the box at home. I live in fear of the corners blowing out. Cats and dog have been given extremely firm instructions about how far away from it they are to stay at all times.

Re: Where AS&SH sits on my shelf
Sadly there are some corners marks but nothing critical.
My plan is to get a second copy down the line for collecting but right now my box is showing signs of use and travel.

Re: Where AS&SH sits on my shelf
I don't really have a dedicated shelf for RPG material. Most of what I'm not regularly using stays packed up in boxes out in the garage (well, the climate controlled room above the garage). Here's what's on my nightstand though.
My actual AS&SH books usually live in my North Face Borealis bag, which is appropriate, I suppose.

Re: Where AS&SH sits on my shelf
After 3 decades, I've unpacked the attic. I'm back and ready to play!

Re: Where AS&SH sits on my shelf
Wow, Iron Ranger. If that's what it looks like after three decades off, congrats! That's a fine-looking shelf right there. I'd kill someone else's dog for the Boot Hill stuff alone!

@ Iron Ranger <sniff> That's one of the most beautiful images I've ever seen. So glorious and old-schooly.
