What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

Not sure if y'all are aware of it, but Hamiltonbooks dot com has some amazing deals. I just picked up two hardbound books (The Gamemaster's Book of Astonishing Random Tables and The Gamemaster's Book of Traps, Puzzles and Dungeons) for $6.95 a piece (they're normally around $25 a piece). Definitely worth looking at every once in a while. Some of their prices are more than what you'd pay on DTRPG, and others are cheaper. Hamilton Books, though, is random. You have to keep looking every once in a while because their inventory changes.
Cool! I've been trying to find The Gamemaster's Book of Traps, Puzzles and Dungeons using the search bar on their website but no luck. Not finding it in their online catalog. Am I doing something wrong? Did you find it on their website?

Holy crap! Some incredible deals!
 


Holy crap! Some incredible deals!

Like I said, check back every few weeks because their inventory changes. No idea how they even stay in business with as cheap as some of their books are, and it's not just RPGs--it's everything. I've gotten some incredible deals on historical books about castles and other stuff, like the two book set Medieval Warfare Sourcebook (Christian Europe and Its Neighbors vols. 1 & 2) which were like $10 a piece or cheaper. Those hardbound books are normally $30-40 apiece. Holy crap--just looked on Amazon, and vol. 1 is listed for $246 and the other one is listed for $80. lmao

So much good reference material to be had there, even if it's not an RPG book. Some of the medieval reference books are very useful for RPGs and world building.
 

Bought the digital pack for Legend in the Mist

Now I've been hovering over the same pack for one of their other games, Otherscape. Most of the week. I'll probably buy it today.

I'm sure it will anger no end of people to realize that I only found these because I went looking for "something else" on learning that Daggerheart wasn't going to be the main event for CR. I was then bored after a few hours and looking at DriveThruRPG and saw something I didn't recognize in the number two spot, so I spent some time researching it and realized that I'd have probably wanted it even regardless of the news. But I did another day of looking around to be sure first.

In the end I think it matches me more than Daggerheart. I'd have Wanted Legend in the Mist anyway. Every page I read is feeling like the game system I've been looking for for decades and had no idea was already out there. I still like what I see in DH, so it looks like I'll be with two game systems now instead of just one.

I just can't decide if I like Legend or Otherscape more. Fantasy is more popular so I can find tables for it easier. But my own ideas are more scifi.

What would your own likes and dislikes have to do with what's popular?
 


A whole stack of second hand games that I am currently pouring through. Highlights include a wealth of Modiphius 2d20 games and Symbaroum. Symbaroum especially has piqued my interest and I am devouring the books at a rabid pace. The system appears easy to use and the setting is a totally awesome take on dark fantasy. The real sweet spots are the particulars of the magic system and how it reinforces the dark nature of the setting, and the fact that all dice rolls are in the players hands. I have heard of games where the GM never rolls dice but have never owned one. I very much look forward to getting Symbaroum to the table to see how it plays, cause I'll be frank, as a GM, I hate rolling for things. I would much rather concentrate on the narrative aspects of GMing over the mechanical ones.
