OK< my wife double checked with me if there is anything I want for Christmas. I guess GURPS was not enough or she is asking for other people.
Any Savage Worlds settings that are must have? I have Deadlands, Solomon Kane, and Sundered Skies, plus some splat books.
Any good fantasy or steampunk?
Any must have GURPS books that would support multi system (Mysteries looks awesome but it's a tad expensive on amazon)?
Any help appreciated.

I've run a game in the Wonderland No More setting. It's a very interesting take on Wonderland, and we had fun during our short campaign. It looks like it's sold out on Triple Ace Games' site, but I think that there are a couple other online vendors that might have them.

Savage Worlds Books I would recommend: Rippers- Victorian monster hunters with light tweaks can easily make it a lot more steam punk. Iron Dynasty - Asian Fantasy "allows you to play anything from a no-magic recreation of the Samurai Age to a world of psychic ninjas vs. steampunk bamboo mecha- John Rogers" that quote was taken from the forward of Agents of oblivion another book I would highly recommended not fantasy or steampunk but a great book. Both are from Reality Blurs, which I feel puts out some of the best third party setting books for SW. Shaintar: Immortal Legends is a great epic high fantasy setting however Reality blurs has a Free Beta out right now for a new version which may be worth waiting for. I have not had a chance to go over it yet. realityblurs.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_21&products_id=122Beasts and Barbarians is a nice looking Sword and Sorcery Fantasy setting for a grittier game.

Thank you guys for the awesome suggestions. I have forwarded the ideas to my wife and will go from there.
It should be fun no matter what.
Again, thanks!

Why not get L5R and immerse yourself in the world like Stu and crew?

I had recently decided to get back into Shadowrun, and was hoping to get a bunch of that. They announced today that in 6 months, there will be a new edition. Lol. Like they couldn't do that before the shopping was done? Lol.
Moral of the story for purchasers - buy new stuff in case a new edition comes out. Lol

That's not going to make the Shadowrun players I know very happy. I haven't gotten around back to Shadowrun mainly because I do not like the advanced year story line. They just came out with Shadowrun 2050, which is the 4th edition rules with the 1st edition timeline(I need cyberdecks). Not sure I'll pick that up now...

Yep... but I'll be sticking with the 20th for a bit and hope for some backward compatibility. On the plus side, since my Wife is visiting her Dad in AZ for Christmas, she gave me Traveller tonight. Woot! Hope you all get something you want as much too!!

I bought the 2050 book recently and have to say I wasn't impressed, it felt like it was written by somebody on a first edition nostalgia trip. The bulk of the book is setting information but lacks any real substance or detail to be useful unless you already own a number of first edition sourcebooks.

I may be late, but Realms of Cthulhu is an awesome SW book, I really like Space 1889 as well.
