Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Acquiring Classics/Reprints vs. The Cult of the New
Of the reprints that are upcoming, FFG's reprint of Tigris & Euphrates appears high on my wish list. And, I've only recently played it on IOS. I see that there's going to be a 2015 Big Box reprint of El Grande--it's on the list. Finding a copy of TITAN ranks high on my priorities too after my satisfying experience playing it against the AI's on IOS version. Finally, I'm keeping a close lookout for the availability of the Warriors of God reprint; and, I'm even pondering pre-ordering Warriors of Japan.
I'm definitely on a look-back trend, but, there are minor blips on that radar for a few new games that catch my interest; e.g., Pax Pamir.

Tigris & Euphrates and El Grande would have been much higher on my wishlist, but the restrictive player count makes them not so good choice for my gaming environment.

New games are harder to pin down. I can think of a handful that I believe I'll still be playing in 10-20 years, but honestly I really have no idea what I'll have kept or sold by then.

I actually do think that the much maligned Ticket to Ride is a classic from a great game designer: Alan R. Moon. I'll always be up for a game of it. But, I do like the chaos that the Alvin & Dexter expansion offers to it (which reminds me that I need to paint those figures soon).
This is one of my favorite set of game designer notes from Alan R. Moon--I just love these stories!

Sons of Anarchy
Robinson Crusoe
Firefly
Wiz-War (FFG edition)
This probably has a lot to do with my self-imposed restriction against buying any more games until my financial situation improves. I'm starting to think that I should instead just sell off part of my collection to afford the newer games. Maybe do that anyway, just to clear out some space and these games in the hands of people who will appreciate them more.

Most of the really great games (and there are exceptions to this) are not based on insular game design fashion but shoot for something a little different, something that gives them a timeless quality rather than being a game of a certain era.

Thunder road, forgotten bridge, shogun, etc.
I don't own any of them anymore and is the only minor regret I have over reducing collection size. Though I still do have a copy of the 1997 british waddingtons atlantis. The toy value of playing survive with that set is too cool to get rid of.
But I think I add and subtract just as many new titles as I do old titles. Both still hold a relevance to me as a consumer. Old titles beating out new titles for reasons that Wadenels mentioned.

QUEEN'S GAMBIT would be nice. Never going to happen.
For new stuff, I am just expanding ELDRITCH HORROR and ROBINSON CRUSOE. I will probably get CLASH OF CULTURES (with expansion? you tell me). WIZ-WAR too, but I am in no hurry. I also someone decides to bow out of NETRUNNER and send me all the LCG stuff cheap.
I can't believe TITAN has become hard to find! That Valley Games one was dumpster juice, everyone was hating on it for ages it seemed. I think it was $15 on Tanga or something. Looks like it's back around $50. Crazy. I was a "backer" for that one and love it to bits. I am in two ACTS games right now--that's worth tracking down. In the meantime, read these old The General articles:

I generally don't like long games (over 3 hours), but I'll make an exception for dune.
