Reply To: A cure for FOMO ?

50 pound may sound like a lot, but that’s just money.
I also spend that on a night out … and after that it’s gone.
As such I’d argue that the money aspect is unlikely to actually cure you, because there’s always more money coming in.
Heck … with interest rates being what they are I was spending it on kickstarters in order to get something other than (effectively) negative interest …

Which is why I’d argue that discovering how much (or little) time you could spend on everything you own may be a more effective way.

Oh … and the idea that stuff could be multi purpose is another possible trigger for FOMO.
Unless you play miniature agnostic games and loot other games for treasure you may be deceiving yourself as to how useful those bits actually are outside of their native games.

I’ve lost track of : oh that kickstarter looks cool and if it sucks I can use the minis for [insert game] … only for that to never happen, because I got distracted by yet another one with even cooler bits …

Terrain can be multi purpose, but at the same time you’re not going to be mixing cardbased terrain with the latest necromunda terrain set either. I’d also argue that terrain is the one thing you can make yourself without relying on external sources, provided you’ve got a few good sources to teach the skills. (like Mels’ Terrain book 😉 )
