Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

D&D. When I got back into it as an adult it was mostly because I could get into it for $0. I was dead broke at the time. I ~~pirated the books~~ downloaded the free basic rules ๐Ÿ˜‰ on my trash find laptop and was good to go.

But man once I had money it turns out I really like collecting books and the D&D ones are not cheap. I do not want to think about how much I've spent.

The real flood gates opened when the license controversy happened and I decided to try other RPGs. Multiple core books of multiple RPGs gets expensive fast ๐Ÿ˜

At least other systems tend to be cheaper and more condensed. The D&D brand tax is real.
