Lulu is having free shipping sale from Thanksgiving through CyberTuesday. I did not even know there was a CyberTuesday, but I guess its a thing now. I thought it was CyberMonday. WTF, why not CyberWednesday?
Anywho, what RPG stuff on Lulu.com do you recommend? Anything that you bought that you found totally awesome and useful in actual play?

I picked up Orbital, the near future Traveller campaign setting. I haven't run it yet, but I have to say its very impressive, fairly large format book, with some excellent background information on running a SOL solar system only campaign with a more hard science bent.
I have been very impressed by Diaspora, so if you like FATE, it may be of interest.

I'll second the vote for
Orbital. It is good stuff.
Other Worlds! :D
Although I hear it's a bit too storygamey and the author's a dick
I think I'm going to pick up Simon Washbourne's Triumphant! Super Hero RPG (http://www.lulu.com/shop/simon-washbourne/triumphant-the-super-heroic-rpg/paperback/product-21043498.html). I was really impressed with the pdf of the game. There's also a color version (http://www.lulu.com/us/en/shop/simon-washbourne/triumphant-super-heroic-rpg-colour/paperback/product-21046288.html), but that's a bit too pricey for me.

Oh boy, another Washbourne game I need to have... "gotta catch them all!"
Things that impressed me when I used the last 40% coupon:
Whitehack (http://www.lulu.com/shop/christian-mehrstam/whitehack/paperback/product-21227094.html)
(Edit: About this small OGL game we had a discussion recently (http://www.therpgsite.com/showpost.php?p=709166&postcount=9).)
RK1 Knives in the Dark (http://www.lulu.com/shop/johnstone-metzger/knives-in-the-dark/paperback/product-21189804.html)
RK2 Evil Wizards in a Cave (http://www.lulu.com/shop/johnstone-metzger/evil-wizards-in-a-cave/paperback/product-21200567.html)
DW1 Lair of the Unknown (http://www.lulu.com/shop/johnstone-metzger/lair-of-the-unknown/paperback/product-21101237.html)
I was extremely sceptical because the publisher has no preview pages on Lulu but I made a leap of faith.
The RK modules are dual-statted, fairly old school style, location-based, sandboxy adventure modules. The stats are for
Labyrinth Lord and
Dungeon World.
The DW module has just
Dungeon World stats but is otherwise similar to the other two.
Vault of Dreams (http://www.lulu.com/shop/denis-gerfaud-and-hieronymous/vault-of-dreams/paperback/product-387137.html)
A collection of 10 short (magazine) adventures for the French RPG
Rêve: The Dream Ouroboros (Rêve de Dragon). You'd need to stat the modules for whatever system you use (as I don't think you'll have the game the modules were written for). A small treasure trove, think of two issues of the old, first edition style Dungeon Magazine, with adventures that are a cross between TSR's UK modules and Harnmaster modules.
And then there's always
Dyson's Delves (http://www.lulu.com/shop/dyson-logos/dysons-delves-softcover/paperback/product-20573147.html).

For what it is (book of dungeons) this one pleased me mightily. The keyed dungeons are things I would actually run, and the unkeyed are inspiring me to place treasure maps in my next game.
I'm about sold on Orbital and Play Unsafe, but can't make a direct recommendation yet.

I was going to suggest Whitehack as well.

I'm so sorry. I'll have to stop. :)
I don't even remember at this point but "Forward... to Adventure!" and its "FtA!GN!" sourcebook may still be on Lulu; Clash would know. I know I still keep getting royalties from it so it must be for sale somewhere...

Yes, FtA! (http://www.lulu.com/shop/the-rpg-pundit/forward-to-adventure/paperback/product-1493845.html) and FtA!GN! (http://www.lulu.com/shop/the-rpg-pundit/ftagn/paperback/product-3571650.html) are both on Lulu. Folks here might be interested in those!

There you go! FtA!GN! has some great material that is easily ported into any old-school game, btw.
