Two years ago, I was going to grab Exalted 2nd Edition, but White Wolf didn't actually have a booth where they sold anything, apparently... except drinks, rave music and touts to their con in New Orleans. (I have a rant on that somewhere on DA, I'm pretty sure.) I honestly forget what I picked up that year; I was pretty bummed. I considered L5R, but I wound up mostly getting world books instead.
Last year, I picked up a hard copy of OSRIC. I'd been considering it several months, but the size, scope and price of the book went ahead and sold me on Sunday last year. I also considered Exalted again, but I was still sour from the year before and never got around to actually buying it.
So this year, I'm casting a line out for opinions. What core rules or rules+world book should Argo spend his money on this year? I'm interested to hear people's suggestions! I would prefer to stick to (preferably) Fantasy or Super-style RPGs, and I do know that Goodman's DCC and MWP's Marvel games are probably high on the leaderboard right now, but I'll listen to any opinions, natch!
(Oh, and I really don't need any suggestions about anything from TLG... I already know the guys annually figure heavily into my wallet... and I make it a point to always pick up some stuff and chat up the Trolls for a while when I'm in the Marketplace, ever since the first year when they sold me on C&C in record time.)
