The revised Dark Sun Boxed set. Nice looking set. Haven't read through it all yet, but it sure looks promising. I'm always a sucker for those nice things as the cloth map that was included.
To my great pleasure and surprise my last dragon featured the Dark Sun world.
I love it! (I think <---Strahd would find it a bit warm there though

the last two RPG purchases i've made were the Nocturnals book for M&M and Sidewinder: Recoiled.
the Nocs book was pretty good. i've never read the comic it's based on, but i'm a M&M junkie, and a friend of a friend of mine did some artwork for the Nocs, so i thought i should pick it up.
i'm not much into horror, but i like supers and i like pulp. if i did anything with the setting, it would be at a slightly higher power level and more in line with the Hellboy movie than the setting shown in the book.
Sidewinder: Recoiled blew my socks off. i really dig the Old West as a genre for role-playing, and S:R provides the flavor of the setting in spades. also, i'm a big fan of the d20 Modern system, and i think their implementation of the rules is great.
i really wish i could run this game. unfortunately, finding other gamers interested in the Wild West is sometimes difficult. :\

Well, the last books I bought were HarnMaster, but since this is the General RPG forum, figure I might as well post here anyway.
HarnMaster is a skill based system hailing from 1983, currently in it's 3rd edition. Compared to D&D it has no Experience Points, and a character improves through skill use. I find this to be a much more natural progression. I could become the greatest artisan, but never pick up a sword. D&D's greatest fault IMO is the level system, but it's popular nevertheless. I'm planning to redesign the D&D system with a Harnmaster feel. Depending on how successful I am, it could very well be the next step for D&D's evolution. Of course, the above isn't really for this thread, but rather for another.
Much of HarnMaster/World comes in a looseleaf format, which is so much better than bound books IMO (though probably a little more expensive) for organization of information. Imagine being able to take out the various pages of new spells, new magical items, etc from all those products and put them in a single reference binder.
HarnMaster 3 ($10/160pp): Excellent set of rules, that delves into character background. Imagine if the Hero Builder's Guidebook was included in the PHB as a chapter between Races and Classes.
HarnWorld ($30/?pp): The Harn campaign setting with a very detailed medieval feel. The campaign I was designing was heading in this direction, so HarnWorld has been an excellent purchase. HarnWorld was written to be system-independant and numerous people have used it with d20.
HarnPlayer ($30/80pp+Player Guide): A stripped down version of HarnMaster including a book written from the players perspective about the world of Harn.
Pilots Almanac ($25/?pp): For those familiar with 2e's Of Ships and Sea, this covers many of the same details, but I think goes into much better details.
HarnMaster Religion ($30/88pp): Book detailing Clerics and the gods of Harn.
Kanday ($30/52pp+binder): General Overview detailing one major Kingdom on Harn. Definately rated highly.
In general, I've found Harn material to be of an excellent high quality. The Harnic community is also strong with some of the official writers, artists, and cartographers, producing high quality fan material in addition to the official Harn products.
You know, I don't really recall what was my last d20 purchase. My best guess was the Ravenloft PHB3.5.

I finally got around to getting the FRCS. I also picked up Player's Guide to Faerun and those are the two recent RPGs purchases for me.

Let's see, I've bought:
Complete Divine (WotC): Underwhelming. I don't see much that really excites me here.
Thieves' Quarter (Green Ronin/Game Mechanics): Pretty cool. I like this one, and I think it'll end up next to my old Citybooks for urban resources. Plus, the maps are gorgeous.
Midnight Realm (Shooting Iron): This is a pretty cool book that details a city in the Talislanta version of hell, with rules and options for running campaigns there. Looks pretty good.
