Hi All
I just wanted to post this here because most of my normal Facebook friends could never understand the enormity of the emotional experience that comes with such an act.
Over the past 15 years (mainly D&D 3.5 before moving to Pathfinder in the last four or five years) I have been keeping my old characters in well kept folders, taking up at least three sections of my wall unit. With the recent acquisition of new speakers, I have had to empty the shelf to access the wiring and set up the speakers and have decided that all the old characters have to go. I have kept nine folders of my favourite characters and have filled up the recycle bin with all the rest.
Quite an ordeal, I can tell you. But at least I have some more storage space for stuff building up in the next 15 years.
Has anyone else undergone this traumatic experience lately?

I've done similar, but not for such good reasons.
We were moving. The pages were yellowed and filled with such great memories. I was trying to reduce the amount of stuff I'd have to move. I wanted to empty the filing cabinet; I managed to get rid of about half of it all. I still have the other half - with great intentions to scan them all in someday. Maybe they'll survive my next move. Maybe.

I wonder if you will ever use "that other half" though.....

It wasn't easy to decide to let go of several hundred old Dragon magazines, but they aren't in good condition and very likely wouldn't be of any interest to a collector.

Adoraith, if you've got the space to keep them, there's no harm.

I've got a small collection of old stuff I'll be selling, but I probably won't tackle that until after the holidays.

Just trying to help out.
Indeed I am not! The bin is for chucking! There's a future for those sheets in the paper recycling industry!

I'm sure UTM can't be selling character sheets...... I mean, surely not......

I thought you were expressing interest in my old Dragon magazine collection. Sorry for the confusion.
