I know we have these threads come up every now and then where we tell each other about our most recent gaming purchases. If you guys think it's a good idea, I can sticky this one on the forum, so people have one thread to see who's buying what, and ask any questions they want.
As for me, my print copy of the Cortex RPG System (http://cortexsystemrpg.org/index.php?action=forum) came in the mail today--a gift from the wife with some Amazon credit.
Actual last thing I bought - the last set of Call to Arms PDFs for fantasy craft (new expert classes and feats)
Soon to pull the trigger on: Dresden Files.
Starcluster 2 print, SC2 Big Book 'O Tech print, SC2 Big Book 'O Social print, Atomik Magick print. Enjoying the hell outa them.
The Riddle of Steel
Dresden Files RPG
Starblazer Adventures
...
...
Poison'd (out of curiosity, mostly).
I'm still waiting for my copy of the Majestic Wilderlands, and my actual boxed set of Swords & Wizardry WhiteBox.
Waiting on a bunch of gamescience dice to come through the mail, too. Solid saffron, orange and blue dice. :)

Good choices -- both quality products. My shelf is better for having them.

I want to buy some, but I already have so many dice.

An individual of taste and discernment!

Another one! Majestic Wilderlands + Gamescience Dice=two great tastes that go together.
Runequest 2nd Edition by Chaosium
and Basic Roleplaying prior to that and finally scored a copy of Chaosium's Thieves World for $20 at a con.

You SOB! :jaw-dropping:
I am so jealous!
Waiting on a shipment of a game book and a non-game book from FRPGames.com:
Lone Wolf multiplayer RPG (not the d20 one), and "Who Fears The Devil" a collection of Manly Wade Wellman's Silver John stories.

You can never tell what you can find at con. I think I should have picked up the copy of the original Basic Roleplaying that had there. But I just bought the new one and decided to save the money for something else (like the Runequest 2nd I won on ebay).
I just picked up WoD: Dudes of Legend. It's very very very funny. It's also seems to be a pretty playable supplement if you want to play an over the top oWoD parody style chronicle. Also got Atomic Highway...but I haven't read it yet...
I just ordered Basic Roleplaying... again. :o
I bought it just last year but got rid of it in a fit of shelf cleaning a month or so ago only to find that I really would like to give it more of a chance. And so goes my gaming ADD.
I got the two rule books from the first edition of Dark Sun for 10$ at the used book store; the boxed set is going for just a little more than that online, but instant gratification is instant.
Carcosa- which I printed out and made into a booklet today.
Waiting on the boxed White Box set
Dawn Patrol.
It's about as much of a roleplaying game as Dungeon! was, but darn if it isn't a hoot to play, and yes, it's fun watching your pilot improve (if he lives, of course).
I have an idea for a campaign - series of engagements - based on Les Cigognes (http://www.ospreypublishing.com/store/Groupe-de-Combat-12,-Les-Cigognes_9781841767536/) in 1917 and 1918.
Hero System Advanced Player's Guide. Extra stuff they couldn't fit in the main rulebooks or most people would have no use for. Such as a Strength chart with an entry for "Planet".
Mmm... Lesseee...
Waiting on a copy of The Shootist's Guide from Kenzer & Co.
Also took a little trip down to Cincinnati last weekend for a bit of shopping.
My Daughter had made the honor roll for the second consecutive quarter in school, and I told her she could have anything she wanted.
LN: "Can we go down to Cincinnati and get minis for our Superheroes Game?
Me: Secretly relieved that she hasn't asked for the H-O-R-S-E yet...
"Sure, We'll go down to the game store and pick up some Supers minis."
LN: "No Daddy, I don't want any minis that are already painted. Didn't you say there was a minis factory there?"
Me: "Um... Yeah."
LN: "I want to see how they are made!"
Me: "They are not open on the weekends, but we'll check, ok?"
I figured they might be there last weekend unpacking from the GTS trade show, and maybe we could get lucky.
We showed up at Iron Wind Metals (http://ironwindmetals.com/)about noon Saturday and were indeed lucky... one of the sculptor/casters was there (Looked like Stu, but wasn't him cause he kept referring to Stu in the third person when we spoke), working on filling a few rush orders. He said Mike Noe wasn't there, but was planning on stopping by briefly in the afternoon, however wasn't sure, and couldn't reach him on the cell. He did give my daughter the tour, and showed her how minis are made. She geeked on that!
We told him we would swing by on our way out of town in the afternoon and try our luck then, and then went over to ScI-Fi City (http://www.sci-fi-city.com/cincinnati.htm)... and Koltar was there! There was also a guy with a couple lances of Mechs looking to challenge another Mech Knight to a War Machines duel. So if there's any Mech Warriors out there in Cincinnati looking for honors, you could do well stopping by there on a Saturday Afternoon.
And... we picked out some minis and paints. She picked out a Blood Wolf, A Pegasus, and Cyndra Stormcaller, the pirate chick with a cutlass and a pistol, and she also picked Julie Guthrie's Firefox for her supers game... The Super with Fox Ears and a Whip! Egads!
Then we had lunch at the Spinning Fork, and went back over to Iron Wind, and Mike Noe was there! She told him why she wanted to visit, That she wanted to paint her own minis and not buy pre-painted ones, and that she had made honor roll twice!... And then We went into the warehouse, and he helped her pick out minis...
FOUR DRAGONS LATER... she comes back with a box of minis. In addition to the four dragons, she had taken one of every animal familiar in stock, as well as a Wizard, and Mike had given her the Gnome Sorcerer with a Pet Dragon, and the Reaper Mike Noe Mini with a Shotgun, and told her to keep doing good in school.
I asked about the shotgun...
As it turns out the Reaper sculptor that had did up that mini had stayed with Mike and his wife for the summer not too long ago, and they had went out shooting. Folks from the UK don't get to shoot stuff much, on account owning personal firearms in England is a no-no. He modeled the mini using the shotgun they had used for target practice that day. Then sent a whole bunch over to IWM after they cast them. Bit of gaming lore for you there...
Mike said the Fantasy Lines picked up considerably, on account of the OSR over the last year, and they had their best year ever in 2009.
She also picked out a couple of Mechs for her little brother (He likes robots), and half a dozen pirates with cutlasses, and pistols, and treasure chests, ...just because.
I took the opportunity to pick out a few minis for myself as well and ended up with a pack camel and three more pack ponies. You know, one can never have enough pack ponies in the wilderness, and while they don't do stairs well, pack ponies are even tempered, and won't go off in Dungeons, or on mountainsides the way mules do... plus they CAN CARRY LOTS OF STUFF!
I also picked up an awesome NEW Dwarven fighter couple I never saw before, another wizard, a couple of war hounds, and about twenty swordsmen/rogue/fighter types.
Mike asked her to bring back and show him the minis after she painted them. We'll bring back a few specifically to donate for charity auctions and for prize support. (I really need to pick up some more Romans and Egyptian Figs as well...).
Once we get done with painting, I'll post a few pix for show...
For the Dragons, she picked out the Ghost Dragon (scary), the Panther Dragon (fierce), The Sea Dragon (cause he can swim well, and has webbed feet and fins) and the NINE-HEADED HYDRA becuase, you know... adventurers shouldn't have it easy...
Anyway, we got a bit of painting to do now . Thanks, Mike! for a great weekend! She has already started painting on the Mike Noe mini, and the Sea Dragon.
Great story!

I got the new WFRP, but it's been a month and I haven't even opened the package it came in. Too busy getting ready to move.
Most recent.
It was WFRP3 in Janurary
WFRP 3 adventure toolkit and dice pack in February
Dark Heresy Ascension - kind of regretting that buy. Not so much because of the quality of the book, but more because since I started with WFRP3 I'm not really jiving with Dark Heresy anymore
WFRP GM kit just Monday...plan on actually RUNNING the thing by the end of the month, but Mutant Future is actually in the chute as the next game my group plays, so WFRP might be waiting in the wings.
also grabbed the .pdf of Dragons at Dawn yesterday.
New to me at least... "Drow of the Underdark" - the 2nd Edition AD&D Ed Greenwood supplement. Pretty good! (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/thumb/7/7b/For2_The_Drow_of_the_Underdark.jpg/250px-For2_The_Drow_of_the_Underdark.jpg)
