$25 burning a hole in my wallet

[RangerWickett]

I got a Barnes & Noble gift card for my birthday in December, and I haven't used it yet because I don't know what I want. I kinda want Mutants & Masterminds, but I'd use it for fantasy, so I kinda want Blue Rose, but Blue Rose ain't for sale on B&N's website, and I don't really want the setting, just the rules.

So does anyone have any suggestions? If I don't hear anything new or interesting, I'll just buy M&M off the B&N website tomorrow. But I might, I dunno, buy the Book of Iron Might instead. Or something that someone else suggests.

I like big rulesets more than I like specific books with limited material, unless that material is incredibly cool.

Do you own AEGs Toolbox? It is a wonderful resource for players and GM alike. It is just under $25 at B&N.com.

Check this out if you are into pirates.

I say go with Mutants and Masterminds. It is just plain cool.

Your group will love you for it.

Get M&M. You won't be disappointed by that decision, especially since you want something with rules, M&M has a totally different approach to the d20 rules and is therefore a good reading.

Other than that, Grim Tales (if you do not already have it), might be an idea from the rules side.

I'd say go with M&M if you want the physical book. If you still have the hankering for Blue Rose, RPGNow has the PDF for like $16.00.

Book of Iron Might is pretty good, but it might be worth holdnig off for Iron Lore, the new Malhavok 'alternate PHB', or Book of Rogueish Might.

will take you to Ryan "Destan" Smalley's Valus setting book, it's worth the $25 for sure (although I'm not sure if you'd actually be able to order it through B&N or not, since they seem to think that it's OOP, which it isnt).
