I am sure we all misplace rule books from time to time. But my DBA 2.1 book is the worst. I find it, I have it for a few days, and then it disappears for a month. Sometimes two. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I am currently looking for it again…

My copy of Valor , & Steel, & Flesh always seems to go missing when I want it.

My copy of War Rocket disappeared without trace for nearly a year. I ended up buying a new copy – old one turned up the next day!

I fell your pain, since I've done that as well.

Really need to put them back in the same place when done – Bulldogs Away and Action Stations.

I find myself referring to them from time to time, while dreaming up future scenarios.

I used to misplace my copy of 2.2 all the time.

Much harder to misplace version 3.0 since it is A4, purple and hardcover.

I keep all mine in file folders so I don't really have this problem. Of course, I own over 500 rule books at this point so organization is a necessity.

At least you have magical "books of returning." I lost my 1st ed AD&D books and NEVER found them again.

OSchmidt06 Aug 2015 12:37 p.m. PST

For me it's not rules it's books. All my old rules are in a file cabinet in folders. I keep them just for antiquarian value. But I've loaned wargame and history books to people and never gotten them back. Usually it's OH I forgot I'll bring it back next week.

The ones that really Bleeped text me off are the ones who say 'Oh I don't know where it is, complete denial, or who boldly say they gave it away or sold it.

I learned my lesson. I never do that any more.

I suspect its your microwave oven plotting against you.

Ah, @Extra Crispy, there is someone worse than me!

500 is impressive!

My DBMM Army lists Book-1 from time to time leaves this world to visit other dimensions, and returns a day after I need it.

Used to be my DBA 2.0 or 2.2, but with the split in the DBA community and my dislike of 3.0…I don't find myself looking for the DBA rules much these days. Now, I guess it would be any material related to Command Decision or various modern naval rules.

My Battle by Gaslight rules,
little thing gets lost all the time

Chuckaroobob06 Aug 2015 9:54 p.m. PST

My record on War$ Fantasy is about 1:10,000.

Oh, you mean not being able to find the rules! Sorry.

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut06 Aug 2015 10:20 p.m. PST

I found my missing DBA rules. I fogred if I publicly complained about it, they would turn up.

Howler07 Aug 2015 1:20 p.m. PST

Pig Wars is gone, but replaced with its newest version.

chuck05 Fezian07 Aug 2015 8:48 p.m. PST

I can never find my GASLIGHT books.

Great War Ace08 Aug 2015 6:26 a.m. PST

Ah! Lost my OWN fantasy rules, including my old PC sheets. Gone, where everything was stored, they are simply gone. Along with my maps that I colored….

I bought, flipped through, then lost the GW painting book, and currently Through the Mud and Blood is playing hide and seek. Mostly hide. Its been over a year since I lost saw them.
