Something I never imagined would happen was Tunnels & Trolls books becoming collectibles. Prices for things like the orange Chris Harvey 5th edition box are quite silly these days, not that I'm in the market.
After supporting and recommending the game for so long back in its "wilderness years" it's very strange to see, but then the current edition and future of the game are up in the air until Rebellion makes an announcement, so perhaps that helps. There are so many simple fantasy games on the market that I'm not sure it has a niche to fill any longer.
Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.
This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.
Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.
@LeviKornelsen cool idea. I'm into #battletech, #alphastrike, #glorantha, #talislanta, testing new small weird games, #boardgaming, #savageworlds is one of my favourite games as is #CallOfCthulhu. I like quirky game sub-systems and rich settings and gaming in them. I'm also keen on #gm-advice and post about things that happened at my table. I'm also a fan of #TunnelsAndTrolls even though I don't play it often these days. Old school but not "OSR". All is subject to change.
Reading the PDF of Sarah Newton's latest. It's extremely well presented, clear layout, good use of colour and boxed texts avoiding clutter and confusion. Still, it's 400 pages long. Does any RPG need to be so long, especially one derived from Tunnels & Trolls, once the standard example of the short and simple game? With the current state of my brain post-covid this'll take a while to work through.
Another new Mythosesque RPG crawls into the light, using Ken St. Andre's Monsters! Monsters! rules: "Shub-Niggurath Always Rings Twice."
I know nothing about this one. It's the same publisher as the reprint of The Lovecraft Variant (which received some criticism for layout and presentation) but looks to be a completely original adventure with quickstart rules included.
Not that "collectors' prices" are utterly ridiculous or anything, but this eBay listing is for an empty box. Not so long ago, Flying Buffalo was using these as extra packing material when they sent out orders.
