M&M 2nd Ed and M&M: Masterminds Manual (which has nothing to do with how I misread a title on Amazon).  Also MAOCT Pocket Edition and MAOCT Road Trip (which is half price on DriveThruRPG even though it just came out).

I think that's just the PDF version of Road Trip.

Dread

This is the Jenga one?  If so, let me know how it is, I'm thinking about getting it to run some ideas I have...

Fiasco
Hell 4 Leather
Dogs in the Vineyard
Dread House ( a board game extension to Dread aimed at a younger audience teen+, it uses the Jenga tower also )
Labyrinths and Lycanthropes
It's Complicated ( going to try it for the normals )
A bunch of CoC books and scenarios.
The Delta Green fiction collection.

Wild Talents 2nd Edition
Progenitor (PDF)
Winds of Magic
Tomb of Horrors (not sure I'll use it in my current campaign, but as old school dungeon crawls go, it actually looks pretty neat)
Demonomicon

Well, from GenCon I got:
Road Trip,
Ecollapse (Wild Talents),
Monsters and Other Childish Things core book,
Iron Claw core books (anthro-fantasy RPG)
Wu Xing (an exceptional ninja RPG)
Three discounted Shaodwrun source books
Eclipse Phase game master screen
Ancient Enemies (CthulhuTech)
Fear Itself
Esoterrorists
Book of Unreminting Horror
Missing Girl, or whatever it's called. It's an esoterrorist campaign I got for free because I bought three books at the same time.
Paranoia: Trouble Shooters (the "basic" edition of the game).

And I'm not slowing down because the new nWoD books are hitting now. And there's the new Shadowrun books. God damn it all...

Ah, to go to Gen Con one year...

I'm basically a very lazy creature so I simply subscribe to most things Paizo...

They send me a nice little box in the mail every month. And I haven't even read half of it... I sometimes wonder why I bother - the core stuff from almost every system is plenty to play on for years at a time without fully using it all.

During the past few months, I've actually managed to get my hands on quite a few books despite being out of work and broke.

Monsters and other Childish Things
MaoCT: The Dreadful Secrets of Candlewick Manor
nWoD Core Book
Changeling: The Lost
Fiasco (PDF)

Once I get myself re-employed, I hope to purchase more Changeling supplements, as well as Ross's Road Trip book.

I saw World of Darkness at Borders for $25, and not being too sure about the system, decided to pass.  However, I would like to know, what books are needed to run a game in a system like this (i.e. what are core books, I only have a vague sense of how the game works).  What is the difference between New and Old World of Darkness (is there both?)?  And is it a good system worth getting?

you just need the world of darkness core rule book to run a mortals game - both arcadia signal and candle cove were run with just the main book.

If you wanna be a hot topic fan, furry, new age bookstore clerk or bigoted serial killer then you need the appropriate supplements.
