Just as it says on the tin:  What game material have you purchased lately? Could be a core book.  Could be an adventure.

Whatever.

I will start off.  As I have said in a few threads the Old School Essentials Rules Tome is my latest purchase.  I don't buy much these days, only the games I know I am going to play or run.

There are a few suggested adventures for OSE that I am also looking purchase in print.

So what have you purchased or downloaded lately?

My last couple of items were several months ago.  Probably the OSE Classic Fantasy Rules Tome, and Rappan Athuk for 5E; because that was the latest and most complete version, of the mega dungeon.  Solid stuff, by the way.  I have stopped buying RPG stuff.  I have a ridiculous amount, already.

Understood.  I have been pairing down m game material down to only the things I am going to use.

Straddling the line between RPGs and Skirmish games, I bought 5 Parsecs From Home and Stargrave. Especially having fun with 5 Parsecs.

Yoon-Suin: The Purple Land 2E – Sandbox campaign setting of ancient mysteries, opium smoke, great luxury and opulent cruelty.  I'm mostly getting this for fun reading and idea mining.

Make more words about this one. I liked the first edition quite a bit, what does 2E do better?

It's not out yet but scheduled to be released around September.

According to the KS, it's about 60 pages longer than the original with "all-new art by Matt Adams, new monsters, the entire original text, many new appendices and random encounter tables, and 12 fully-mapped adventure sites from across Yoon-Suin for PC groups of various levels."

I've been on a bit of a blitz lately. Since the a little before the new year, I have purchased (pretty much all corebooks):

-Index Card RPG and Viking Death Squad
-The Basic Fantasy Field Guide (already had the core book)
-Maelstrom: Domesday
-Shadow, Sword & Spell
-Helveczia
-Thrilling Tales for SWADE
-EZD6
-Barbarians of the Ruined Earth
-Black Sword Hack
-By This Axe I Hack and its Companion
-Shadow of the Demon Lord
-Rocket Age
-Hypertellurians

In the freebies category, I've picked up and looked at the quickstarts/free versions for: Dragonbane, Shadowdark, Bastard Sword, Heroes and Hardships, and Primal Quest, and free adventures for a few different games.

I'm slowing down on purchases though. Don't really expect to be buying anything else until Shadow of the Weird Wizard turns up (allegedly later this year).


Playing: Mongoose Traveller 2e
Running: Dolmenwood
Planning: Warlock!, Savage Worlds (Lankhmar and Flash Gordon), Kogarashi

My gaming budget lately has all gone to peripheral stuff.  I got several reference books on Norse and Celtic myths--most of which were not very good.  Last couple of months, I spent around $200 on printer ink, paper, and other supplies, which mainly got used to support my homebrew system testing. Didn't leave a lot for more direct gaming stuff. :D

Those reference books on Norse and Celtic myths sound like a cool addition, even if some weren't up to snuff. And $200 on printer stuff for your homebrew system? That's dedication!
If you're ever looking to change things up and add a bit of excitement to your gaming routine, I recently stumbled upon what I believe is the best game for real money. It's been a fun ride and a nice change of pace. Who doesn't love gaming with some extra cash involved, right?
So, whether it's peripherals, supplies, or discovering new gaming adventures, it's all part of the gaming journey.

I am on a bit of a spending restriction due to taking flying lessons, but today and yesterday I splurged. I got the Dragonbane box and the Enemy in Shadows Companion as well as the Enemy in Shadows itself. Now back to not spending for a while. :D

I'm in a weird space here. I crowdfunded several things that have since made me disinterested in crowdfunding in general, lol. Mothership 1E, I'm speaking mainly to you. Got the PDFs and then just man I wish I had spent my money elsewhere.

I did pick up the new edition of Talislanta and went all in, though. That one I am looking forward to. But man, all these crowdfunders are really doing is stoking my fire to quit crowdfunding and just get back to buying what I want that is released in physical format already.

Edit to Add: I did back Dragonslayer and have high hopes for it as well. But Tal and Dragonslayer are the two most likely to be non-turds that I backed, after reading the PDFs of several of the others.

So I've bought stuff I now mostly hate and won't play or run, while pining for stuff I know I will run and play but now do not have the money for.

Completing my SR3 collection and picking up SWADE Fantasy Companion are now my main concern that I will be working towards, and crowdfunding be damned.

Danger

The Dungeon Fantasy bundle at Bundle of Holding was my latest (owing to limited physical space, I'm pretty much pdf only at this point) and it warms the cockles of my fat, dead heart as GURPS was "our boy," back when I had hair and could see my feet. 
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

My tastes are all over the place this year. Here is the dead tree list:

  • Riftbreakers
  • Fabula Ultima
  • Katana Ra
  • Wretched Space (second edition)
  • Girl by Moonlight

  • Secrets of the Vibrant Sea
  • Vast Grimm + three companion books
  • In Flames + Chimera (from a game store clearance rack)
  • Mechwarrior: Destiny
  • Hostile Solo
  • GURPS Mass Combat
  • Eldritch Ass Kicking (another game store dust bunny)
  • Goblin Slayer

The last 2 products were the Pundit's own "Wilderland's Random Wilderness Encounters" and "Heroes and Villains of the Silk Road" for Sword & Caravan. Before that it was miscellaneous stuff for Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea 3rd edition.

*Edit* Noticed I already replied earlier. Consider this an addition*

The Twilight Imperium RPG. I purely got it because I like the board game, and have no intention of playing the RPG.
Though I did get a 2nd hand Genesys rule book and set of dice in case I ever get a hankering to try it.
