Well, that actually depends on the game you're playing and how into it you are. As a Vampire LARPer, you have those nifty MET books that are half-sized for easy carry. And you do carry them, everywhere. They end up stuffed into the back of your pants, filled up with item cards, etc. After a year or two of game play (been playing for 5 years) you generally have to replace it. The last time I managed to luck out because the new edition came out just as my latest book was dieing.

they will? now *that's* a new one. i've never known a single gamer
who wasn't using his or her original PH, or at least original copy of
the edition they were using[0]. and i've known people with 20yr-old
AD&D PHs that'd been through everything short of being baked with the
pizza. they looked like crap, but they never got replaced. even
given the abuse gaming books are subjected to, i wasn't aware that
books "wore out" within a lifetime.
[0] actually, with one exception. friend's house burned down, and
Obsidian and Wraith: the Oblivian were the only gaming things to
survive.

If any religion is right, maybe they all have to be right. Maybe God
doesn't care how you say your prayers, just as long as you say them.
