Everything's Fine
$20 off Craig's List. Started off me just wanting the D&D Starter box, and I ended up with all this stuff
Never heard of Dungeon in a Box, but it seems interesting
There are 4 or 5 3 of those Melee Mats

Assuming PDFs count, I picked up a copy of Samurai Sheepdog's S-Class Characters: The Monster Trainer yesterday.

It kills me to have to write poorly of them, because I love their stuff, but this is the second product of theirs that I've seen where the monsters are presented using the simple monster creation rules, and it's just...not good.

Those rules are, specifically, for coming up with a monster relatively quickly (at least compared to generating full stats) when you need something for your game, and so necessarily leaves information out. No listing of their languages spoken, no listing their Hit Dice (just hit points), no feats, no CMD, etc.

I can understand finding monster creation to be a laborious process in PF1. But if I'm paying for a book that has monsters in it, I want the full stats for them; not partial stats developed on guidelines that specifically describe themselves as "cuts some corners."

Print copies of Sundered Skies and Starforged stuff today, since the Kickstarter wrapped up. They’ll be in my hot little hands in due season.
 


A PDF copy of Imperium Maledictum, the recent Warhammer 40K RPG, by Cubicle 7. Largely based on a review that said it was somewhere between CoC and Wrath and Valour in design. It seems pretty solid in a lot of ways. Not sure if I'll ever run it, but it's definitely interesting.

Considering picking up Broken Weave, a 5E setting book also, rather surprisingly, by Cubicle 7 (seems like they are not the "tiny company" I remember them as!). It's a vaguely Dark Souls/Elden Ring-esque post-magic-apocalypse setting, but one where the focus is on survival and hope and rebuilding, not purely on stuff rolling downhill.

Mulling over the fact that I missed the Dagger in the Heart Kickstarter/Backerkit (I forget which), but I think that was probably fine, because as much as I love Rowan, Rook & Deckard, the odds of convincing anyone I know to play Heart are... low (despite having good experiences with Spire).
 


I agree it's a great pickup. The one thing I would recommend if you are planning on actually playing first edition would be to pick up the Star Wars Sourcebook from '87. Without it, you're missing a bunch of stuff you would expect in the game.
This is very true, I'd forgotten how important that book is, but it really is a key part of the 1E WEG D6 Star Wars. Which I concur with others, is easily the best Star Wars TT RPG, it's not even close (it's not flawless but it works really well, and 2E and so on didn't take it in the direction of working better).
