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.

    Tabletop RPG. I started in High school, you need only paper a pen and a set of dice, right ? All the rules can be found online anyway, right ?

    But it’s so much better to have the physical books. And you need more than one dice of each obviously. And this nice metal dice looks very good. I obviously need different set of dice with colors pattern that match my different characters.

    Speaking of characters, I need mini. I could get the cheap basic one of course, but the lead ones looks sooo much better.

    And I obviously need custom models for all my characters.

    Several years later, with a disposable income and I added maps, tokens, terrains, cards, ect. Even a tablet that I use only for this. I’m now limited by the storage place available in my flat (maybe for my own good).

      May I suggest a 3D printer and set of speed paints?

      There is something awesome about being able to print up and paint the exact monster before the session.

      It’s a whole new world of terrain and tiles you don’t bother using half the time.

      I buy the books knowing I’m subsidizing a bunch of university students pirating them, and I’m okay with that.
