July purchases...

[IanB]

My purchase for the month is a 2007 Prius. This promises to keep me from spending much more money on gaming stuff in the near future. *crosses GenCon off the calendar* (Well, I can't say no to a MM V...)

 

[Nightfall]

Heh. That's generally my reaction to the current Dragon issue!

At least a) It had a nice Core Beliefs article.

But I can't understand why people are so against Dungeon 149. It's VERY sweet and the art in many, many places is great!

*loves the Orcus work for sure*

That's a lot of campaign settings! Do you ever use them as-is, or do you just loot ideas from them?

Cheers,

Usually I loot settings that I buy for ideas, though I plan to use the Scarred Lands stuff more or less as-is (of course, I also plan to run SCAP in the Scarred Lands, so I may be adding something from said AP to the canon setting). I mainly wanted the two setting books for the world so that, in the event I run subsequent campaigns in the Scarred Lands, I won't be lacking for options insofar as global coverage goes.

I bought Murchad's Legacy primarily because I've been promising Biggus to do that since way back when (in the days when print copies were still available). I had, at one point in time, planned on running an OGL-only campaign, which is when the setting originally piqued my interest. I'll likely never use it as-is, though there's plenty of good stuff to raid (enough that I actually contacted the author about possibly funding a limited print run).

Carse is more a generic city book than anything, although it is ostensibly linked to Feist's legendary Midkemia campaign. Oh. And I forgot to add that I ordered The Dictionary of Imaginary Places to use as a kind of atlas for a planned Principia Malefex game that I've been wanting to run for a while now.

[Shining Dragon]

I have picked up nothing (yet) for the month. Last month was SR4 and Street Magic. Next month Changeling: The Lost and (perhaps) Scion: Demigod (if it doesn't get delayed again).

Otherwise I'm keeping my eye on the LGS.

 

[Asmo]

We´re going to play Magic:the Gathering this coming weekend and we are going to give 10th edition - the recently released new core set - a spin.
We are going to run a 2 headed giant 10 edition sealed deck a try, among many other formats. ( Rules for 2 HG can be found here: http://www.wizards.com/dci/downloads/2HG_FAQ_1May07_EN.pdf )

Looking forward to this!

I've picked up (so far):

James Bond: 007 (Basic Set)

One of the finest and most under-rated RPG systems of all time. It was truly before its time.

25 years old - and that thing still plays like a modern, slick, and extremely well crafted modern RPG. I always thought Victory Games should have done much better than they ultimately did with JB 007. Good find on that one James.

But I can't understand why people are so against Dungeon 149. It's VERY sweet and the art in many, many places is great!

1) I'm not currently running the adventure path

2) I was getting the last bunch of issues because they had either eberron or the exag mini-series. This had neither.

3) The charon stuff was nice. "meh" may be too strong. How about "enh"?
