The stories are true you can fit so much in this thing! Just for fun I loaded it up with all my books and it fit 12. 12! I have about 10 books, a binder, a notebook, a room and the Raven DM book, two pencil pouches, a stack of index cards, two dice pouches (full), a small box of dice, a tin and bag of minis, and honesty I'm not sure what else I may have put in this bad boy. I almost don't know what to do with all the space. 15/10 best D&D purchase ever.
