To sate my own curiosity, and to possibly aid in running future PbP games, who owns what systems?  I'm not really looking for individual books, but more for the "core rulebooks" of each system.


To get things started, I own:

    *3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons
    *3.5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons
    *Iron Heroes
    *Arcana Evolved
    *Tri-Stat BESM
Et tu, CBGers?

Atlantis

 [spoiler The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins]In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know
They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below,
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!!
He riddled with Gollum!!!
A magic ring he stole!!!!
He was chased by wolves!!!!!
Lost in the forest!!!!!!
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls!!!!!!!

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now he's back in his hole in the land of the Shire,
that brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold
a-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

3.5 + Splatbooks
3.0 Core
The Hero System Core Rulebook
A few free-online systems, like Risus and Fudge
*Evil Grin* "Snip Snip"

Current Campaign Setting: Kayru, City of Ancients

"D&D at its heart is about breaking into other peoples' homes, stabbing them in the face, and taking all their money. That's very hard to rationalize as a Good thing to do, and the authors of D&D have historically not tried terribly hard." -- Tome of Fiends

Kindling

Iron Heroes D20 is the only book I own, however both D&D and D20 Modern are available for my perusal in the form of online SRDs.
all hail the reapers of hope

Polycarp

Only 2nd ed (minus the DMG, which I never got) and 3.0

3.5 is a racket and a conspiracy to steal my hard-earned money and I want no part of it - any improvements I just take from the online SRD.
The Clockwork Jungle (wiki | thread)
"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." - Marcus Aurelius

Tillumni Sephirotica

3.0
BESM third edition
D6 star wars
d20 starwars
d20 advanced magic (not sure if this counts)

AllWillFall2Me

This  brief summary. Rather than gain allowance as a child, I got RPG books.

3.0, 3.5 D&D. (most, as in Completes, MMs, Both PHB and DMGs, BoED and BoVD, variety of others)
Eberron
White wolf core. (WoD, Vamp, Were, Prom, Scion, Exalted 2nd) Some additional WW (Old Vamp, Mummy, Demon)
d20 starwars. (core and alien anthology)
WoT rpg.
Some green ronin (book of Righteous, Book of Fiends)
To save myself time, I will never say IMO. Unless I say in fact before something, that means it's my opinion.

Dovie'andi se tovya sagain

Alea iacta est.


Numinous

1st Edition D&D (PHB only)
3.5 D&D
Iron Heroes
2nd Edition Mutants & Masterminds
Deliria
World of Darkness Core (none of the specialized games, ie. Vampire)

I collect the Core books of RPG's so that I can play most anything.  If a gamer comes up, I'll probably buy the book.  I'm looking at buying some Gurps or some form of Cthulhu RPG in the future.

Oh, I am not going through my basement for this...
So, from Memory...

    I still have my 1978 first printing ADAD monster manual, and my first printing (and bought hot off of the presses ) of the PHB and DMG, as well as Unearth Arcana and the worthless deities and demigods.
    Chainmail
    The basic boxed D&D set, with a now-rounded and edgeless blue 12 side, yellow 4 sider, red six sider, green eight sider, and white 20 sider...what did they make those from, hardened wax????  Talk about planned obsolescence!

    oh, yes, 4th edition and fifth edition Tunnels and trolls...that's been gathering dust for decades...

    old boxed traveller...from GDW

    Melee and Wizards, from Steve jackson, as well as Ogre and G.E.V.  

(Hmmm...What the heck is left in that box?)

    I bought the 3.0 DMG and PHB to make sure I wasn't missing to much from when I started working on my own rules.  Found a few neat things.  Now, as has been said, I check online for this stuff.

    Some I.C.E. Tolkien bastardizations with great research, great maps, and a set of rules about as fun as herpes...

    Something Gygax did later in a fit of pique...Scarred lands, maybe?

    Oh, the original Marvel rules.

Nothing else comes to mind.  Let me thank Limetom for letting me realize that there is another box down in my cellar that can probably, except for a few things, be dump-foddder.

Steel Island Online gaming thread
The Collegium Arcana Online Game
Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg

Eclipse

2ed Mutants and Masterminds (gee, I bet no one saw that coming)
DnD 3.5
D20 Modern* (as well as all suppliments)

New World of Darkness*

World of Darkness d20 (AKA: Monte Cooke can't write anymore)

Sad thing is, I'm 90% sure I'm forgetting some.

***Not actually a game.

Oh, and I do feel that the different sub books of WoD, since they are pretty much systems in and of themselves, are necessary.

EDIT: Added Exalted

EDIT2: Added D20 Modern
Quote from: Epic MeepoThat sounds as annoying as providing a real challenge to Superman: shall we use Kryptonite, or Kryptonite?

SA

I own...

Exalted 2nd Ed.  [spoiler]Have only played this a few times.  I like the setting and the list of magical abilities and effects, but the combat takes too long and my players turned to the rulebook more often than in D&D.[/spoiler]

Qin Warring States.  [spoiler]A great system and setting for Wu Xia roleplaying (eg. Crouching Tiger or Hero), but the bell curve for action tests is a bit too broad and combat movement is dependent on one's degree of skill with a given weapon (and yes, that's a big deal).[/spoiler]

World of Darkness 2nd Ed.  [spoiler]I like the dice pool mechanics, but the setting seems to try just a little to hard with its whole "woooh, it's a scary, lonely world and you're all alone," schtick.[/spoiler]

Vampire the Requiem.  [spoiler]A "core rulebook" for World of Darkness.  Lots of atmosphere and flavour, but the same gripe applies as above.[/spoiler]

GURPS (Characters, Campaigns, and Powers).  [spoiler]Very specific rules with a lot of customisation.  A bit too comprehensive for me, but my players seem to enjoy it.[/spoiler]

Nobilis.  [spoiler]My favourite setting ever.  Phenomenal art and strikingly poetic writing, with a million-and-one adventure ideas written into the narrative of the book.  When I just want a little light reading, this is the first book I turn to.[/spoiler]

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Ed.  [spoiler]An interesting careers system, which gives a great deal of flavour and direction in character creation but is somewhat ambguously detailed and a little to reminiscent of d20 character classes.[/spoiler]

Unknown Armies 2nd Ed.  [spoiler]Hilarious and subtly disturbing.  Crazy-assed new age horror roleplaying filled with pop references and truly modern magic (heck, one of the magickal traditions is Videomancy!).[/spoiler]

Plus a helluva lot of RPG pdfs...

FUDGE.  [spoiler]A fun, loose system with very modular rules and individually specialised skills.[/spoiler]

Amber Roleplay.  [spoiler]Great bidding system for abilities.  Diceless.  Awesome.[/spoiler]

Changeling the Lost.  [spoiler]More World of Darkness fun.[/spoiler]

Mage the Awakening.  [spoiler]And more.[/spoiler]

Werewolf the Forsaken.  [spoiler]And yet more.[/spoiler]

A bunch of GURPS supplements.
A bunch of WFRP supplements
A bunch of d20 supplements

I am looking forward to...

Dark Heresy (Warhammer 40K Roleplay).  [spoiler]As far as I'm concerned, this pretty much speaks for itself.[/spoiler]

Amber Roleplay (New Edition).  [spoiler]Same here.[/spoiler]

EDIT:

It just occurred to me that all of the RPGs I own in book form (except GURPS) are exclusively d10 systems, and I don't play GURPS anymore.  Yeah, I have a d10 fetish.
