This post made me go back and look at my own hobby spending in 2023. While I did not track it at the time, I buy stuff from from a pretty limited number of sources so it is not too hard to recreate after the fact.
Physical books ~$310
I think this is higher than usual in this category as I typically get digital versions of RPG materials. This year I went in on a number of Kickstarters for physical books (Shadowdark, ToV, Shadow of the Weird Wizard). Other than that just a copy of the Dragonlance adventure - I have been running it in FG but it is nice to have the dead tree version to prep.
Miniatures/Paints ~$220
Mostly Reaper and WizKids minis, but I also went in on a Kickstarter from Next Level Minis, plus a few paints. Definitely more stuff than I have been able to paint (and the Kickstarter stuff still on the way) but not too bad.
RPG PDFs ~$110
I picked up a Kobold Press Humble Bundle, plus a number of things off DriveThruRPG. Probably lower than usual for me in this category, as I typically buy a ton of PDFs.
Fantasy Grounds ~$30
I picked up the FG conversion of the Dragonlance adventure, which I have been running online.
