SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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 bought myself some OSR for Christmas.

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

That's a deal. Link?

It's Sci-Fi City in Orlando, FL. It's only for in-store stock, but you might be able to order it from their site.

And, checking the recipt, it was actually closer to $28, but still a good deal.

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?

Thanks! I appreciate the purchases, and glad you liked them.

As for doing Ice & Fire, I already did the original Game of Thrones, anyways. And I'll be doing another one too, eventually...

Yesterday I saw a hardcopy of Sandy Petersen's Cthulu Mythos online for £32, so I've ordered that to go along with my Primeval Thule game.

Same here! People kept recomending me the game so I finally gave in and bought it. Currently reading it when I'm not working on my game, so far so good.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Some of the pdf-only expansions are really good too, and all but the largest are very inexpensive.

I know it's well after Christmas but I just bought the Core Rules, the Field Guide (Monster Book) and 4 modules for the Basic Fantasy RPG for around $30.  Since I had a credit and a gift card for Amazon, it was actually all basically free. 

This was inspired by the responses to my Core 4 question on these forums.  I'm going to run a full campaign in the system with less experienced players this year and see how it goes and I figure that I can't go wrong at that price.
