I get a lot from DTRPG (mostly via Bundle of Holding) - at the moment, only epub files are imported into Calibre. The rest are stored in my iCloud drive; I have a dedicated Games folder, with RPGs as a subfolder. As I acquire files, they get transferred to that folder, into a subfolder for each game system, which may include other subfolders for different editions.

I'm slowly logging everything into my LibraryThing catalogue, but I'm horribly behind because it's a manual process as I tend to collect indie games. Datasources for those are not good. I ought to log everything in Calibre too, but it would end up as a horrible task, mostly because of the sheer size of the collection (35 Gb). Admittedly, some of that is scanned magazine articles and personally written content, but I reckon even excluding that and the game aids there'd be well over 20 Gb.
