Obsession

While I own a lot of things - which mostly look like books - I would argue that my "obsession" is 1st Edition Gamma World Items.

First Edition Gamma World, as you might recall from posts here and here, was a role playing game produced by TSR from 1978 to 1982, when it then moved to 2nd edition, 3rd edition, etc.  I have never had quite the interest in the later editions as over time they tended to be less "campy" and innovative and more proscriptive in terms of what your characters could do.  They also started to reflect modern technology or based on modern technology, which was also kind of a drag: I am not interested in a game with nanotechnology, I am interested in a game with Black Ray Guns, and Warbots and Think Tanks.

Its production run, such as it was, was a core rule book, a map of the ruined United States, two full modules and a referee's screen with a smaller module, a double handful of magazine articles scattered across  Dragon magazine (which I truly wish I had kept all my copies of now) and two 20 piece sets and 67 blister packs of lead figurines.

I have the original rule books, map, modules, and referee screen (but sadly, the smaller module is a computer print) in print and the magazine articles on a drive (which I should really print as well).  And while I have the twenty piece sets of figures, I only have a handful of the blister packs (which are seldom, if ever, actually in their blister packs).

As a result, any time a new one comes up (mostly on E-bay), I will at least try to buy it.

I know.  They serve no good purpose and they are not of any use to me except for happy memories and the fact they please me.  But if they are not ones I have, I will try to get them.

That is my obsession.  What is yours?
