There is a good thread over at Dragonsfoot where people post their recent acquisitions, I thought it would be fun to start one here. I'll start. I just picked up Stonehell Dungeon, and the Oubliette Compilations from Lulu. I continue to be impressed with the quality of POD. I'm going to enjoy reading these, and hopefully grabbing useful stuff for my campaign.  |

We'll have to see how this goes. We are running out of space for attachments (we are at 91% capacity) so we may have problems with photo threads.

I purchased Dave Bezio's "Shotguns -N- Saddles" a couple months ago (it only came out in 2013...).
It is a great OSR type (OD&D or BX) Wild West game.

Last I checked with the admins they do not, so if you can host a photo on imgur or link a product image directly from Amazon or DTRPG then my understanding is that would be fine. |

No pictures are needed, but as per the discussion in the Traveller board, I received my copy of the POD Books 1-3 reprint of 1981 Traveller in the mail yesterday, so I now have a super compact edition, and don’t need to care whether it gets beaten up being carried around.

I finally got Goodman games the Deluxe Metamorphosis Alpha ed. hardback, and I broke down and got the MA 4th ed. rules PDF.
Maybe in a few months I'll see if I can find Dragons at Dawn by D.H. Boggs.

As a decrepit middle-aged man I mustered out of the Academy with a ticket to ride and an old training manual. "Classic Traveller Facsimile Edition" single volume digest. I acquired it for cheap through the black market starport known as "DriveThru RPG". It is considered contraband in the ODD sector so I must proceed with caution to my Patron for further instructions.

I went on a little retro bonanza with the new year. Steve Jackson reproduced most of the pocket box games from the 80's. Being a car wars fanboy I purchased Car Wars, Truck Stop, Crash City (Sunday Drivers), and expansions 1 & 2, as well as Convoy. I also got the Ogre Bundle which includes Ogre, GEV, Shockwave, Battlesuit, the reinforcement pack, 4 folders, and 2 extra pocket boxes. While I was at it I picked up The Fantasy Trip Melee & Wizard pocket box. This one was a what might have been if the game was originally produced as a pocket box edition, which a lot of people think it was. Actually, I don't have any interest in the new editions of these games. For some reason I get a kick out of the original compact and portable presentation of the originals. The original car wars was fuel for my imagination when I was younger and I had a lot of fun playing it with friends. So the new year kicked off pretty well at my place- ran a game of car wars with the family (my girls accused me of cheating  ), played some Sellswords & Spellslingers, and played DCC's funnel Portal Under the Stars. Oh yeah, I got a set of funny dice from Goodman Games too. It included all the odd ones like d5, d7, d14, d16, & d24. |

My first RPG arrival of the new year was INTO THE UNKNOWN from Pacesetter Games. This is a large solo adventure compatible with Swords & Wizardry (there are also Pathfinder and D&D 5E versions).

I finally broke down and bought a hardcover copy of Old-School Essentials: Classic Fantasy Rules Tome for "work-related research" -- beginning later this month, a gamer friend and I will be running/co-DMing Keep on the Borderlands with B/X for an "Old School D&D at the library" program at the library where we work. OSE also goes nicely with all the tasty Dolmenwood Patreon content I've been receiving.

I finally found a copy in good condition, with the rule book in great condition, from a local seller. Nice addition to my little collection   |

I just picked up a copy of AD&D 2e Skills & Powers. Following Morten Braten's The Spider God's Bride, I hope to use the material for npcs, especially various rankings of cult members and those of other groups!
