So.. what did you buy this month?

[Barendd Nobeard]

• Call of Cthulhu d20 - Nocturm (adventure)
• Call of Cthulhu d20 - Game Master pack
• Little Fears
• The End
• The End - Boston Massacre
• Vecna comic book - Hand of the Revenant
• The Hills Rise Wild! (Cthulhu inspired game)
• Weird Wars - Land of the Rising Dead
• Oriental Adventures - Original artwork (used on page 8)
• Player's Handbook - Original artwork (used on page 100)

OK, I would not have bought most of this, had I not been at GenCon. I purposefully avoiding buying the Buffy RPG--looks like fun, but I have enough game systems that I never get a chance to play....

I still have not bought the Epic Level Handbook, Silver Marches, Warcraft III, or Neverwinter Nights.


[edit - add Vecna title, fix Little Fears title ]

• Call of Cthulhu d20 - Game Master pack

That's the one with the GM screen, adventure, corrected sheets, etc, right? What did you think of it? I saw it but I wasn't sure it was worth dropping the $20 on...

J
oh yeah:

Hammer & Helm
Of Sound Mind
Dungeon #94

and I'd be buying FDP's Counter Pack II if it ever shows up...

 

[Tewligan]

Lessee...Nyambe, Mythic Races, Creatures of Rokugan, Path of the Sword. I'll be grabbing the Monsternomicon and Relics & Rituals 2 the second they hit my FLGS.

 

[Tiefling]

After 9 or 10 months of abstinence, I picked up Call of Cthulhu and Kingdoms of Kalamar a weeks ago. Both are very enjoyable.

 

[UniversalMonster]

A metric ton of miniatures.

Ok, not d20 enough? I also got Oathbound. by Bastion press, as well as Arms and Armor. And I got the Everquest RPG.

All great stuff!

The following are all Gen Con purchases:

- The Slayer's Guide to Orcs
- The Slayer's Guide to Medusas
- Encyclopaedia Arcane: Elementalism
- Encyclopaedia Divine: Fey Magic
- Autographed Brent Chumley artwork from the covers of The Slayer's Guide to Winter Wolves and The Slayer's Guide to Trolls
- Giant Monster Rampage
- 3 minis: a gynosphinx, a cyclops, and a purple worm
- 12 "fireball" dice (splotchy yellow and red, with the 1-2-3 faces predominantly yellow and the 4-5-6 faces predominantly red, so you can see at a glance whether your fireball was "wimpy" or "painful")

Oh yeah, and a DMG and Monster Manual, but those were for my oldest son, who's planning on running a campaign for his college buddies this fall. (*Sniff!* My little D&Der is all grown up...)

Ok, not d20 enough? I also got Oathbound. by Bastion press, as well as Arms and Armor. And I got the Everquest RPG.

I meant to pick up Oathbound and Arms and Armor, but didn't have time to make it back to the Bastion booth before scuttling off to dinner on Sunday @ GenCon. How do they look? Have a chance to read them yet? Part of me doesn't like Bastion's art, and the other part of me is hypnotized by it.

As for my spending habits, well, as a pro designer I get to claim the RPG stuff I buy as a tax deduction. It all counts as research. And to be honest, I really do need to read a good selection of stuff to keep on top of the biz. Here's what I bought at GenCon:

Call of Cthulhu minis, over a $100 worth. I've been needing some for a long while, and the local stores don't carry them.

Chainmail minis: half-orc assassin, half-elf sorcerer, elf archer, drow boxed set, Monsters II set.

Celtos minis: A cool halfing barbarian (he looks like mini-Ahhnold) and a very cool looking wizard.

Confronation mini: a crazed looking barbarian with a BIG axe.

The Kaiin Player's Guide for the Dying Earth RPG.

Sun & Scale: The Gryphon's Legacy (Gaslight Press, won it via the big puzzle at GenCon)

Lord of the Rings RPG (Decipher)

The Riddle of Steel (A low-magic fantasy game with a detailed but playable (and deadly) combat system.)

Codex Arcanis (Paradigm)

City of the Spider Queen (WotC)

The Resurrected III: Out of the Vault (CoC scenarios from Pagan Publishing)

Godlike RPG (Comp copy)

Recent Non-GenCon Stuff:

Robin's Laws of Good Gaming (Steve Jackson Games)

Call of Cthulhu d20 Screen (Haven't read the contents, but the screen is.... ehhh. Too small by far, plus the GM's side is black text printed on a blue background. Is it me, or does Chaosium hate us d20 gamers?)

Hammer and Helm (Green Ronin, as a dwarf junkie I really liked this one)

Latest issues of Dungeon and Dragon

Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation (nifty 2-player boardgame)

 

[KB9JMQ]

Well had a dry couple of months but in August I bought
Silver Marches, Book of Challenges, ELH and the second Iconic novel The Living Dead.
In what time there is left in August I hope to get Necropolis, KoK Players Guide, Traps & Treachery II and Spells and Spellcraft.

(Yeah this is my ONLY hobby)

 

[Buttercup]

So far this month, I've bought:

Urban Blight
E-Tools
Path of the Sword

Tomorrow I'm picking up The Hunt, Rise of Evil world book, and if they have them, Nyambe and RR2. That will probably be all for this month.

Next month, I plan on getting the Kalamar Atlas, if it's out, and also the Villain Design Handbook, if it's out. Prolly a few other things too.
