This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I got some X-Mas cash just for me so I went to my LFGS.  I picked up used copies of:

Monte Cook Presents: Iron Heroes



Dungeon Master Option: High-Level Campaigns



Usagi Yojimbo




After that, I had about $5 bucks left.  I stopped by Total Escape Games on my way home to look around again (I had visited it once before shortly after they opened).  I was disappointed to their RPG section restricted to two shelves and only contain 4e Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder products.  On my first visit there, their RPG section was small but had some small press games and Indie games along with the big RPG names.  

Anyway, as an impulse buy, I grabbed a set of black FUDGE dice.  For a while I had a problem with buying dice, and swore off ever buying more dice- especially specialty dice like FUDGE dice when I could easily use other dice to get the same results needed in FUDGE.  



I paid full price of $5.99, but it was my X-Mas cash so I felt alright with it.

No gaming material, but I did receive a beautiful copy of The Collected Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith, Vol. 5: The Last Hieroglyph by Night Shade Books. This completes the collection for me. :)

Quote from: Aos;429328That's the one. I'm reading it for the first time right now.



I got a Kindle for Birthday and spent a bit on some of the huge old SF collections (had to do some research, some of the collections have just slightly different in what they contain and I didn't want to double up.)

So the Star Kings is recommended? I'll add that to my list. Not free, but I will.

(I think I'm still reading H. Beam Piper stuff.)

I got nothing RPG related (unless you count the gift of StarCluster 3e I got for myself) for Christmas...but this is what I did get:

* A Jack Skellington Figure
* Zombie State: Diplomacy of the Dead Boardgame - I can't wait to play this.
* An HDMI dock
* Kingdom Heart 385/2 Days - Pretty fun DS game. Turns Kingdom Hearts into a Dungeon hack
* AAA Lucha Libre:Heroes Del Ring - A PS3 lucha libre (mexican wrestling) game. Pretty fun. I'm more excited because some of my friends are actually in it.

I still have a Secret Santa gift from my gamer friends...So we'll see what comes of that.

I received non-gaming gifts, but I'll focus on the gaming num-nums. Not all my swag has yet arrived, as only my dice bags are here, though the rest of it is on route in the mail even as we speak...

* Mongoose RuneQuest II


* A Song Of Ice And Fire Roleplaying: Adventures In The Seven Kingdoms


* Polyhedral 7-Die Translucent Dice Set - Green (from Chessex)


* Q-Workshop: Elven Dice Bag in Linen (Elvish)


* Ultra Pro Black Suede Skull Dice Bag 82052


I'm certainly happy about receiving the dice bags. Those zip-lock bags just weren't cutting it any more... :o

I got nothing this year, gaming-wise.  That's ok, though, I get plenty of free-gaming loot all year round.

I've seen indie stuff at Total Escape Games as well, so my guess is that if they're out of them now, then they've sold out through the Christmas season, and will be getting more.

That said, their focus isn't really RPGs, it's Boardgames, Magic the Gathering, and Miniature Wargames.
