Not counting collections (I'll detail that later) the most recent game I have bought was bought FOR me and not BY me. That would be my Spanish Language D&D 5e books.
I got these as Birthday presents back in June because I am learning Spanish now. They are actually a lot of fun and have been a great challenge. I am looking for other RPGs in Spanish too.
Continuing on in this passageway the party encounters a long corridor.
This corridor is lit with an eerie eldritch light. The floor is made up of tiles.
The corridor is 50ft long, and every five feet there is a pressure plate on the floor that fires a magic missile at the party. 1d6 hp of damage, it will always hit one character at random.
A thief can find the traps (the pressure plate), but the trap itself is magical and needs a dispel magic to stop. The dispel magic only works for 1 of the 10 traps in this area.
Doing so will result in 50 xp.
I had to think about this one, but my first RPG purchase of 2023 had to be my Deluxe Edition of The Dark Eye.

There is a lot about this game I really love and want to do more with. I still might get around to doing some more too.
The first four tunnels are on the left, and they are all lined up next to each other. The fifth tunnel is on the right and at an angle away from the others.
The farthest tunnel opening on the left leads to a short but wide tunnel. The walls are smooth, as is the floor, but it is obviously carved out of the rock. Within this tunnel, the party encounters a group of four small demons.
DRETCH
These creatures are fat, with long, spindly arms and legs. They have rudimentary human heads, with slobbering jaws and folds of fat. Dretch demons have some weak demonic powers.

Yeah...I am obsessed. Mail call today, and it was full of some great witch books.
Up first, another witch-centric RPG I backed on Kickstarter, Last Sabbath.

The game looks phenomenal, and I want to try it out really soon.
And one I have been waiting 20+ years for.
Ashley Poston has a novel out about 17-year-old Tara, one of my all-time favorite witches.
This is her pre-Sunnydale days, and I can't wait to jump into this. And because I had a credit lying around, I picked it up on Audible as well.
While I am sure the narrator will be great, it would have been nice to get Amber Benson to do it.

So yeah I *know* I am obsessed, and I know I catch some grief for it online, but you know what?
I don't actually care.
This is my little corner of the Internet, and I get to do what I love here. And if that gets me 10 fans or 10,000*, then fantastic! Plenty of other sites out there that leave me scratching my head asking "who would even find that fun??" but hey, their sites, their rules.
To quote Steve Martin, "The most amazing thing to me is, I get paid for doing this!"
(*It is less than 10,000, but a lot more than 10!)
Another one that has been on my mine a bit lately.
My first Gamemaster was myself really. We all kind of taught ourselves how to play back then and I didn't have older brothers or friends that played. But that changed when I got to Jr. High.
My first real DM was Jon Cook and we played this hybrid version of Basic (B/X) D&D and 1st Edition Advanced D&D.
In a lot of ways I guess I am still chasing that high.
Beyond the doors is a large cave system. The cave is huge and while fires can be seen down many of the tunnels (larger tunnels than the ones on the level above), this level is cooler.
There are five tunnels leading out of this chamber.
