I think it's too Tolkeinesque. My company is looking into a game based on
the Lord of the Rings...believe it or not, the caretakers of the Tolken
estate would probably slap you with a cease and desist if this ever became
"official!" Sad but true!:-)

Hello again,
Something recently occurred to me, about collectors likes us (at least I
fall under the following category):
I collect RPGs as a hobby (nothing new here), the same way others collect
adventures, Infocom games, EA flats, etc. Right? Right.
But some of us know that it isn't just a hobby. Sometimes we just _have to_
bid on that "Ultima IV", even if it'll be the 5th we own. For a reason
unknown to all but us. And even after the auction ends, there's _another_
one right there, calling our name... so I'm guessing this "hobby" could be
called a "habit" too.
The purpose of this mail is to propose to you a new word that describes
those "compulsive" collectors like myself (and possibly some of you) that
mixes both of the above.
I thought of "habyt", "hobit", but ended up with "hobbyt", how does it
sound?
