That Gift Giving Season

So, the gift giving season is here... and I'm just as flustered with it as I am excited. I mean, I love getting gifts, but whenever anyone asks, I am at a loss to say what I might want. I mean, a man is the obvious choice for me... but I have one, and asking for two... well that would just be greedy!

Favorite things I'd like to see?

A subscription to Kobold Quarterly is high on my list... I mean, I have one, of course, but it can always be extended, right?

One of the new 4e Dungeons & Dragons books... I am still torn on the new edition, enough so that I haven't been buying everything that comes out. Also, the new books are expensive, so I am reluctant to shell out the big bucks for them. On the other hand, unlike many of my fellow grognards, I like the game, so the new Manual of the Planes or Draconomicon I: Chromatic Dragons might be nice...

On the Paizo side of things, the new Pathfinder system is gaining steam. In addition to their Adventure Paths (they are finishing up their third, so now is the time to get on board for the fourth, Legacy of Fire!), they have a dizzying array of products. One of the ones I haven't picked up yet and holds, frankly, a lot of attraction, is their Planet Stories line of books... yes, plain old non-rpg books. One of their best products is also currently free: the Beta playtest rules for the Pathfinder RPG, also sometimes referred to as 3.75 or 3.P - a Paizo spin on the OGL rules.

As for card games, I will stick with my very favorite... I still need to get my hands on a couple different decks for Killer Bunnies from Playroom entertainment.

For board games? I am still looking to get my hands on the new edition of Talisman.

What sort of gifts are you looking for? Have I missed a gem? Tell me soon... my man is demanding a list, or I will go without swag this year!
