This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I finally got all the RPG books in that I ordered with my Xmas money plus what I picked up at Pandemonium Games in Cambridge MA. This is what I bought:

Sorcery & Super Science: Scourge of the Mall Rats and Creatures Below the Shattered Moon (both used).
A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying, A Game of Thrones Edition (used).
FrontierSpace Player's Handbook (hardcover).
Pure Steam Campaign Setting for Pathfinder (hardcover).
Aethera Campaign Setting for Pathfinder (hardcover).
Southlands Bestiary for Pathfinder (softcover).

Sort of gaming related:
Haynes Marvel Vehicles Owner's Workshop Handbook.

Song of Ice and fire.  How is that?

Hermes Serpent

I got Vurt in a raffle yesterday and Stars without Number just arrived in hard copy. Both lovely books.

ASoIaF from Green Ronin has issues. The house building stuff is fun but you can't actually get any of the big houses to work out using the rules. Mass combat is problematic as well and even the social combat is clunky and very lengthy to run. Depending upon which version it is there may be huge sections that are in error (a whole chunk of revisions was pasted in to the file and then the wrong file was printed so missing out on the corrections.
