1st shipment contained Lion and Dragon/Dark Albion as well as a fresh copy of The Rules Cyclopedia.  2nd shipment contained Godbound, Stars without Numbers and Worlds without Numbers.  3rd shipment...well, I had to stop and do a lot of reading. A lot of reading!!!

I wish I had Lion and Dragon 30 years ago.  That is a sincere compliment.  Dark Albion was not only a history refresher, but rather inspirational.  I could literally put all of this in my homebrew setting and I wouldn't have to tweak a thing.  My setting has brutal, plotting and scheming types-Albion would fit right in.  George RR Martin should consider asking Pundit to do Fire and Ice as he would do it right, RPGwise. 

Godbound, Stars without Number and Worlds without Number-is fantastic.  Dungeons and Dragons, Exalted, Warhammer 40K all rolled into one and done right-at first glance. Like I said, I have a lot of reading yet to do.   

My opinions are not based on actual play. Though, I doubt my enthusiasm will diminish. 

Did you buy yourself something great too, lately?
Did someone else buy something you really like? 

I bought the Zombicide RPG, Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, and a compilation of 120 5e adventures... I did start prepping a BFRPG version of BECMI's Saga of the Shadow Lord, so not totally without OSR cred I hope. 

Would you have the name of the 5E adventures compilation.

Sounds like something useful to have imo.

Mini Dungeon Tome, from AAW Games.
Good production values, pretty minimalist presentation the way I like it - typically a 6-10 room dungeon across 2 pages. Looks inspired by that 1 page dungeon competition. Covers all levels 1-20 though looking at the adventures I'd tend to peg a lot of them lower than listed levels. It looks very handy for filling a sandbox.

I can confirm Stars without Number rocks hard in actual play. I've run it many times and it works great. I say this as a Classic Traveller fan. SWN offers an interesting blend of D&D in Spaaaaace and the 3 core classes is really brilliant.

Also, his Exemplars & Eidolons is a free fabulous OSR game for those unsure about Godbound and want a more heroic tier fantasy game.

Guess this thread prompted me to go to drivethru and buy a print copy of Saga of the Shadow Lord - and once I'd done that I needed to justify the shipping cost so ended up ordering Elves of Alfheim, Atruaghin Clans and Dwarves of Rockhome too.
Basically I'm giving WotC money for old stuff so when they make 5e unplayable I can more easily go over to my preferred OSR mashup indefinitely. My current preference is Basic Fantasy RPG with the Swords & Wizardry unified save, I found it also makes a great task resolution mechanic.

I picked up a physical hardback of Against the Darkmaster.

DriveThruRPG has a bunch of KRAMPUS themed stuff for Christmas.
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=krampus&page=1&sort=3a

Always messing around with OSR stuff.  But for Christmas this year it included White Box FMAG for a PbP game I'll be in, plus James Spahn's White Box Omnibus for the same game.  Just got my pdf from Necromancer/Frog God for Necropolis.  And I KS-backed the CK Screen for Castles & Crusades.  So I'm feeling good about my purchases, especially White Box, which I like more the more I read it. 

But C&C will remain my AD&D style game of choice for the foreseeable future.  So easy to house rule and/or convert on the fly.  And plenty of options without mechanical bloat.

For streamlined games however, I'm loving the White Box.

I'm wishing I found stars without number and worlds without number sooner. Recently got RC as well, and acks. Dark Albion/lion and dragon my players aren't ready for.

C&C for me too.  I bought a few modules from casl entertainment recently.  They look good so far for inclusion in my ongoing Greyhawk campaign.

Ugh... double post.

I put something on my wishlist on the composedreamgames.com/marketplace.* (It has a basic feature where you can share your wish-list with anyone via a custom link.) I got a couple things from my family that I'd been interested in for a number of years. FYI neither are really OSR.

Vanagard is a mythological RPG in a box game on the story-game side of things (you can play with a rotating GM within a single adventure). It covers early Viking mythology where you play the animalistic van-folk children of Freya. Resolution is all done using norse runes. And their are cards to help create characters, and inspire chapters, and some preset challenge cards you can randomize and draw inspiration from.
Great for playing with family even if they don't normally RPG. Multi-session advancement is supported. After a quick test play my guess is a standard game would take up to 2 hours, though number of players does matter.

The Illuminated Edda,  translations of a host of Viking poetic and prose eddas, along with other mythological tales, woven into a cohesive whole with extra stories by the author/translator Andrew Valkauskas. I was just reading some of the Eiru and fomorian giant (irish) myths this morning.
There's some manner of game using runes at the very end of the book, but I haven't checked it out yet.

I find the art in both of these is excellent, and well suited to the material.

*I run the marketplace, but we give 90% to our publishers so I do like to buy a print copy of things especially if I am keen to play them.

Just grabbed a copy of Shadow of the Demon Lord (Revised Edition) for $25 at a end-of-year inventory reduction sale.
