Well, Portals & Planes, Blood & Fists, Classic Play: Book of Dragons, and Draconomicon are just a little over a year old.

But since then, the books I have found most interesting and useful include:

1) Expanded Psionics Handbook
2) Beyond Countless Doorways
3) Classic Play: Book of the Planes
4) Advanced Bestiary
5) World's Largest Dungeon

Looking forward to:
1) Codex Anethema
2) I'll cop Rappan Athuk Reloaded
3) Complete Adventurer (cautiously)
4) Legend of the Samurai

That's all I got. Publishers are playing things closer to the vest these days, and there is very little that I see is coming out that I just feel I have to add to my game.

1) Expanded Psionics Handbook

Did this really come out less than a year ago? Huh.


My list, then, in no particular order:

World of Darkness 2.0
Vampire: The Requiem
Expanded Psionics Handbook
Iron Kingdoms Campaign Guide
Exalted: The Fair Folk
 


Hmmm, tricky list to devise.

Top 5:

1) Ars Magica, 5th ed
2) Paranoia XP
3) Grim Tales
4) Hamunaptra
5) Book of Iron Might

As for "looking forward to", I really can't say. I haven't been keeping too close of track, although Monte's Arcana Evolved is on that list, definitely, as well as the possibilities of more AM5 supplements.

And I'm looking forward to both the World's Largest City (AEG), and Rappan Athuk Reloaded (Necromancer Games).
