So, I'm having a blast navigating the new YourGamesNow.com site, but I notice I already own a majority of the products from such companies as XRP (I love the fact that they're on there), ComStar's Traveller stuff, pretty much everything HinterWelt has ever done, Flying Mice, Fiery Dragon's counters, etc.  Basically, gentlemen, you need to make more products. :)

So basically, gents, what should my shopping list be?  I'm interested in fun campaign settings, GM resources, plenty o' maps, and anything either a fantasy or Rifts-type campaign.  Recommendations?

Hearts & Souls, my superhero rpg, is available there. But you might like to look at Hinterwelt's Supers, Inc. (Gritty supers in a corporate world) or perhaps Tunnels and Trolls 7th Edition. (I've heart mixed things about it so check reviews first)
High Valor REVISED: A fantasy Dark Age RPG. Available NOW!
Hearts & Souls 2E Coming in 2019

HinterWelt

YGN also has a new publishers coming on deck. Skortched Urf just got their products up and tomorrow will be a big announcement. ;) So, we always have new stuff coming on line. I will be putting up my Kolba Chef class for free download later this month with art from Herman Lau. Cool stuff.

Thanks for the interest Zach.

Oh, I've got Supers, Inc.  Fun stuff!  I, too, have heard mixed things on T&T 7....I'm on the fence for that one.

Stuff I already own and would recommend:

Dog Soul Games
I am a sucker for creative and historical inspired fantasy settings. I already have Sahasra and Kitsunemori. Both are good, though I think Kitsunemori is the better of the two.

Expeditious Retreat
Their Monster Geographica series are convenient adventure building resources that drinks in a lot of open content creatures. Their Magical Society books answer the tough questions about world building. Good stuff.

Fiery Dragon
The Counter Collections are an affordable alternative to minis. They did some great old adventures, but the only one they seem to put out in PDF here that I really liked is Beyond All Reason.

Goodman Games:
The Adventure Begins - a great collection of beginner/low level scenarios for D&D. Surprising fresh and varied offerings. Complete Guide to Rakshasas and Complete Guide to Fey are great takes on these creatures, with enough information on each to run whole campaigns around. Etherscope is an interesting variant of d20, being a sort of Victorian-Steampunk fantasy mix.

The Le Games
I'm not big on their Unorthodox class stuff, though (Su) Headless Horseman was a strong, moody take on an interesting creature for d20 fantasy and Synergy Artifacts has a refreshing take on magic items in D20 Fantasy games.

0one Games
They have a great variety of maps for a variety of purposes. My favorites are the nostalgic dungeon crawl maps of the Under the Mountain series, and the Great City maps, which give me the maps but leave the details to me, which is just the way I like it.


Stuff I am looking at picking up:

Comstar Media:
The Mesugard Corporate - I developed a liking for the QLI gateway domain for Traveller and was interested to see what else they developed for it.

Dog Soul Games
Baba Yaga drew some attention last year but still remains on my "must buy" list.


The Secret Volcano Base: my intermittently updated RPG blog.

Running: Pathfinder Scarred Lands, Mutants & Masterminds, Masks, Starfinder, Bulldogs!
Playing: Sigh. Nothing.
Planning: Some Cyberpunk thing, system TBD.

So, when will you be making this announcement?

Guessing by some of the names on the YGN boards, that are not already a part of YGN, I suspect a rather large PDF publisher is joining up. ;)

Yeah, I don't make the press releases but they are supposed to be releasing today that Ronin Arts is joining up. In fact, their products are live already. This significantly increases the number of products available at YGN.

That's a great step for you guys!  I'm impressed with the quality of the companies you've been bringing into the fold on this.

yeah,there are some publishers there that publish stuff I don't use (mostly d20 stuff), but they are all great companies.

Yep. Suzi's talking with Phil right now and he's going to push his announcement till tomorrow. That said, we're going to do our weekly new-product round up so everyone's going to know today anyway. Adding Phil's products, we're over 1,000 products now.
