50 dollars ear marked for PDFs. What to buy?

[Psion]

Decisions, decisions.

DTRPG has a 20% off sale. I'm curious about d20 Advanced Magic and Mastering Iron Heroes.
At ENGS, Zeitgeist has a sale, and I really want a pdf of Blackmoor (the elementalist material is the coolest I have seen, and it would be cool to print out and put in my DM goodies binder).
At RPGnow, TSR PDFs are on sale.

Decisions, decisions.

Do you have Thieve's World and Shadowspawn's Guide to Sanctuary yet?

I'm a persnickety curmudgeon, and I like them both.

 

[Psion]

Got thieves' world.

Shadowspawn's is tempting, tho.

 

[Vascant]

You know I have to say this, NPC Designer?

Be a good way to see if all the hype is true as well

*chuckles*

If you want more rules, Blackmoor isn't bad. (I liked the elementalist stuff from Occult Lore, better, though that is 3.0)

Finish off your Legends & Lairs collection. I have.

Get Campaign Planners for your games.

Get Wilderlands.

Get City State.

Get me a whole bunch of stuff!

Get the old Dragonlance compilations from TSR.

The Auld Grump

Vascant - How easily extensible is NPC Designer? I am not in the market for a "core only" designer. I use scads of third party d20 stuff, and if I can't put it in easier than I could write up the NPC by hand, it's not worth my time (this has been the consistent failing of all the electronic support on the market). Tall order, I know.

Auld Grup - it'd be cheaper to buy the Print version of Wilderlands stuff. And compared against below, that's not seeming like a bargain. Not to mention that I talked myself out of getting wilderlands a month ago (and got blasted for doing it publicly...) Campaign Planners I already have. DL gives me hives. And I don't think there is a Legends & Lairs volume I don't have... I rounded out my collection when they had their $5 sale.


Right now I'm looking at:

• Blood and Space Bundles $16.95
• Curses $4.00
• DM Design Kit $3.96
• Conjurer: Core Specialist Wizard $1.40
• Diviner $1.40
• Evoker $1.40
• Transmuter $1.40
• Under the Mountain 4 $2.99
• Blackmoor $17.14

Which comes out to a bit over 50.

With some hankering for:

• Advanced Magic ($18.40)
• Mastering Iron Heroes ($7.20)
• Sanctum & Sigil ($15.11)
• Folkloric - Sahasra ($7.95)

I could swap out Curses + DM Design Kit for Sahasra or Mastering Iron Heroes
or
Drop the Blood & Space Bundle or Blackmoor for Both, or for Advanced Magic or Sanctum & Sigil.

Whatever you buy, Psion, make sure you use any left over dollars on the Behind the Spells series. You won't be sorry!

I've haven't bought any PDFs for a while, but I had to break down and buy the 3.5 update to "Tome of Horrors." $9.99 (when I got it) was a very good price for as much work went into it. I can use my hardcover 3.0 version to find something appropriate, and then scan through the PDF and print out the 3.5 version.

Of course, that depends on how much you value duplication of a product.

It's a fantastic purchase... which I have already made. It's especially cheap now that you can get it 20% off though holiday coupons.
