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.

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...

My OSR for Christmas so far, has been the Blueholme - Prentice Rules.  A fluffed up Holmes Basic D&D.  Levels 1 -3, for the Core 4 Classes.
Let the Dice, Decide the Outcome.  Accept the Results.

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.

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.

I just got a copy of this as well. Pathfinder version. Lot of really good shit in this stout book.
