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.

    Iโ€™m a few hundred dollars in and Iโ€™m actually on my way out thanks to their grossness this spring. Iโ€™m too slow to have gone for many modules, but rules books were super fun and thus a money sink. Iโ€™m trying to move my group over to PbtA (cheap by comparison) or Genesys (have you seen the cost of those DICE?!).
