1. Warriors of the Red Planet (http://www.lulu.com/shop/thomas-denmark-and-al-krombach/warriors-of-the-red-planet/paperback/product-21694686.html). The recent "Sword & Planet" thread in this very forum got me interested.
2. The Dungeon Dozen (http://www.lulu.com/shop/jason-sholtis/the-dungeon-dozen-paperback/paperback/product-21540761.html): Love me some random tables.
3. The Golden Book (BRP) (http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Roleplaying-Hardback-Chaosium-system/dp/1568823479/ref=pd_sim_b_2/177-3747509-3539766?ie=UTF8&refRID=0X5MH20VNR9W095EMA3X), hardcover. I keep hearing it's a real elegant system. Really curious to check it out.
What are the RPG products are you hoping Santa brings you this year?
1. Mystic Empyrean (//www.mysticempyrean.com): A fascinating world hopping RPG with interesting ideas on rotating GMs and an evolving mechanic.
2. Mutant: Year Zero (http://www.modiphius.com/mutant.html): 30th Anniversary of the Swedish classic post-apocalyptic RPG. Looks to be a mash up of Gamma World, Apocalypse World and Tribe 8, with Mike Mignola/Charlie Adlard style artwork.
I also have a bunch of Kickstarters on the verge of completion which Santa can't have much influence over:
1. Sorcerers of Ur-Turuk (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2036759092/sorcerers-of-ur-turuk): Ars Magica meets Conan in an Ancient Persian setting.
2. Urban Shadows (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1287928832/urban-shadows-rpg): An Apocalypse World hack on World of Darkness, like Dungeon World was for D&D.
3. Ryuutama (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diamondsutra/ryuutama-natural-fantasy-role-playing-game): D&D by Miyazaki, a natural fantasy RPG of travel, well being and communities.

One of the many Kickstarters I have yet to see anything for...I backed this one on a whim because the die mechanic looked really interesting.
If I could get anything for Christmas (Hanukkah!), it'd probably be ECMI in PDF. EXTREMELY disappointed only the B part has shown up on dndclassics.com. With all this Gamergate bs, though, I'm wondering if I want to buy any more PDFs there, anyway. Blah.

Did you get the Deathstar Draft? That was playable as written and had most of the layout and art included.
Andy K is doing an update in a few days. In summary, a PDF pack will be released before Xmas with some of the extras, the PDF is due in January with the book following shortly thereafter,
Santa ain't bringing me jack crap except socks and underwear... so, as usual, I'm on my own for gaming stuff.
This year it's mostly going to be wargaming miniatures but LotFP's A Red & Pleasant Land is top of the list.

anyway this is my wishlist
http://www.dndclassics.com/wishlist_public.php?public_id=692875&list_id=1270962&buying_for=tuypo1%40gmail.com
all those wonderfull pdfs
Mutant: Year Zero
Other Dust
Mindjammer
Atomic Robo
Those are the ones off the top of my head.
Nothing, actually, as I am again pruning my collection. But I recently got the whole collection for The One Ring, which I inted to check put to see if it's as good as it looks, or if at least it can be used along MERP or my modified CODA ruleset.
Assuming it's actually released before the year's out, Earthdawn 4th Edition. I'm hoping the fact it'll be new and shiny will help me convince my group to give it a shot and we can finally play something other than fucking Pathfinder.
I think the most useful game-related thing I could get at this point would just be a notebook and some pens.
I don't think there's anything on my wish list at the moment.
Now that I have the three D&D 5e books, the only game I've got in my sights is Feng Shui second edition - and that's not coming out until next August.
Mindjammer
The FATE powered trans-human sci-fi game.
This here. Of course I want the Dead Tree version.

I was really hoping to get my "Chained Coffin" box set for DCC by Christmas.
I think Santa is getting me some more BECMI goodies for Christmas.
I put the 5e starter set on the list too, to kick the tires with friends.
All I want for Christmas is for all 3 kickstarters with long delays and/or screwed-up shipping to finally arrive (dwimmermount, barrowmounds, LotFP).
Oh, and some players, and time to play.
Christmas came a little early for me this year:) Just got in a box of games I had trade credit for. 5th edition DMG and MM along with some Savage Worlds books.
Atlantis 2nd Age Therigraphica
Age of Rebellion
Traveller - Mongoose ed.
I think everything else is covered for me.
I backed a number of Kickstarters but I don't really expect any of them to deliver by x-mas. Hopefully my copy of the Pirates & Dragons (http://clockworkandchivalry.co.uk/games/renaissance-2/pirates-dragons/) corebook will arrive within a week from now. On the first attempt it apparently got lost in the mail so Cakebread & Walton had DTRPG send me a second one. Really looking forward to this book.
I plan to pick up Maelstrom Domesday (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/120361/Maelstrom-Domesday) and Cryptworld (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/118860/Cryptworld), but I'll probably throw these in a binge order together with a couple of Kickstarted POD products (River of Heaven, Barbarians of Lemuria Mythic Edition, Apocalypse Prevention Inc 2E, Silent Legion) once they're available, to save on shipping. So again, no x-mas delivery.
I'll get my hands on Mutant Year Zero (http://www.modiphius.com/mutant.html) in January.
The D&D 5e core rulebooks, hardcopies of Fight! (including Challengers, which I don't yet own), and Luchador.
I am waiting for my copy of D&D5 Dungeon Master's Guide to arrive (I have already received the Player's Handbook and the Monster Manual. It's taking longer than I thought, I even suspect that my wife hijacked the package and is keeping it hidden in order to give it to me as a present.
I am interested in Mythic Britain for RuneQuest 6th and Wind on the Steppes for BRP, but perhaps I'll leave them for another occasion.
