I'll stop there. That's quite a lot as it is.
What?! Am I the only one who keeps an ever extending, running list?
I keep an excel document updated with all of the stuff that I'm interested in buying, with a note on how high a priority each product is. The file is labelled "list of coming titles," but it's so far behind now that there's more stuff on the list that's already been released than there are forthcoming titles. Instead of getting only what I really, really want, I skip that over to get what I can pretend is essential, what I "need".
If I stopped my list at what was reasonable, I never buy anything. Since I've gone back to school, I found that my gaming budget has dried up almost entirely, and I start grad school in the fall, so I don't expect to get all of the gaming stuff I want anytime soon, though once I've finished a book I'm supposed to be writing this very moment, all of the money from that writing will go to RPG fun (okay, that and a date or two with my wife).
The List:
Product, Publisher, Priority, Price
Dungeon Magazine issue 55, TSR, 3, $15.00
Dungeon 107, Paizo, 2, $7.00
Dungeon 109, Paizo, 2, $7.00
(Though, now that I think about it, I'll probably skip these last two in favor of the whole first adventure path in hardback with supplementary material [if you're gonna dream, dream big])
Requiem for a God, Malhavoc, 5, $10.36
(I own the PDF, but I've decided that I just really prefer physical books)
(I'm now removing Diamond Throne, because AE appears later on the list, obviating the need, from what I understand)
Anger of Angels, Malhavoc, 3, $15.37
The Complete Bood of
Eldritch Might, Malhavoc, 2, $23.79
(Again, I own all three separately, and I own the first as a PDF, but I reference them so much, that it's worth the extra money to have them all in one volume.)
Player's Guide to Faerun, WotC, 5, $?
(just think, most of the FRCS erratta collected in one hardback volume!)
Complete Divine, WotC, 3, $20.37
(It seems like it might make a decent companion piece to CW, CA, & CV...)
Eberron Campaign Setting, WotC, 3, $27.17
(There's a bunch of stuff I'd like to yoink from this setting, and I think it will make a decent alternate prime world when that's needed)
Races of Stone, WotC, 2, $20.37
Frostburn, Wotc, 2, $23.77
Beyond Countless Doorways, Malhavoc, 2, $20.39
Libris Mortis, WotC, 1, $20.37
(I loved Draconomicon, and I ain't quittin' now)
Mystic Secrets: Lore of Word and Rune, Malhavoc, 2 $?
Sharn: City of Towers, WotC, 4, $?
Races of Destiny, WotC, 4, $20.37
Arcana Evolved, Malhavoc, 2, $32.99
Races of the Wild, WotC, 4, $?
Sandstorm, WotC, 2
Lords of Madness, WotC, 1
Ruins of Intrigue, Malhavoc, 4
Races of Eberron, WotC, 5
The Book of Roguish Luck, Malhavoc, 1
Champions of Ruin, WotC, 5
Heores of Battle, WotC, 4
Iron Heroes, Malhavoc, 2
DMG II, WotC, 1
Transcendence, Malhavoc, 2
Five Nations, WotC, 5
City of Splendors:Waterdeep, WotC, 3
Weapons of Legacy, WotC, 5
Maelstrom(much cooler name than Stormwrack) WotC, 3
Explorers' Handbook, WotC, 4
and some recent discoveries that I'll likely add to my list, based on what I've read here at EN World: Green Ronin's Advanced Guides, and perhaps Bastion Press's Oathbound, but I have to do more research first. I'll definitely have to get XRP's Monster building book, though I don't remember the title right now and have no idea when it came out, or even if it is out yet in print.
Let's hope this post doesn't come out looking as bad as I fear it might *crosses fingers*
