Hey everyone!
Show me and the rest of the board your new and recent ttrpg acquisition (as pics).
Maybe there are new and interesting games and sourcebooks others didn't know about.
Discussions we can have in a separate thread for the various games.
I got my Xmas bonus recently:

Well, in the review sub board, I've been doing a thread for cyberpunk game reviews. (Yes, they are all games I own.) I'm sure I've hit a couple that aren't well known. I have six more I'm going to review over the next few weeks.
Here's the list of what I have left to cover.
Neon Blood
Katana-Ra
Beta Red
Hard Wired Island
Neurocity
Sythicide
Of all the stuff I've covered so far, I really like Zaibatsu. It's a Cepheus Engine based game that has the right level of crunch while still being easy and quick to play. It focuses on a near future version of Japan but you could easily open the setting up a lot. If you've played a variant of Traveller that uses the 2d6 mechanic, you'll feel right at home. It's also compatible with a lot of other Cepheus Engine products so you can really go nuts with weapons, vehicles, robots, and exotic locations. Absolutely a winner in my opinion.
Another one worth mentioning that's fun is Neon City Overdrive. It's a neat dice pool system but the biggest thing about it is the supplement The Grid that goes into net running and hacking. It has some great innovations for how to play a staple element of cyberpunk tradition that gets away from some of the issues with these in other games. Over all, great fast play system and easy to teach and run.

Seeing this, "Neue Regel" by Queensryche is playing in my head 😄
@BadApple
Thanks mate!
I wanted this here mostly for the pictures of our new books. What's inside can be discussed in a separate thread.
So how do they look like?
Sorry, I misunderstood.
I'm trying to add pictures but I seem to only be able to do it as attachements and not in the body of the text like you. Help?

I wish I could help you. :-\
I believe you upload the file as an attachment, then put it into the body of your post by placing the cursor where you want it to go, then pasting in the link using a button that appears next to the attachment.

Did it work?
Here are the three books I picked up during the sale.
Nice! Würm is beautiful
Dieseldrachen - holy shit am I going to be all over that once it gets an English release.
Rules lite Star Wars copycat game. Black Star.

Dragon Slayers. Not a big fan of it, though. For example, non-magical armor is literally considered cosmetic, as in it has no effect in the game. But, you have to buy the game to know these things.

Breachworld. Recommended to me by Bear, the Forever GM. It's a game very similar to Palladium Rifts setting, but for rules they didn't make their own. Instead, they're using the Mini-Six version of the old Star Wars D6 game rules. And that is awesome, as I love the Mini-Six rules quite a bit.

I've got more, but those three ought to be enough right now.
I haven't actually been doing that much RPG shopping lately, but I did pick this up on a whim:

Hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know what I'm getting, but after being a little disappointed with Black Sword Hack, I thought I'd check out someone else's take on Moorcockian cosmic melodrama.
Dieseldrachen looks drop-dead gorgeous! Thanks, man!

Aww man, I don't know if you've noticed, but the covers are actually mis-printed with some sort of random gobbledegook text.
Best of luck getting your refund, unless you think they'll be a rarity like upside down plane stamps, and turn into collector's items.
