The best thing to do is to buy a recent copy of Tales: the ads on the back cover will list most of what's available. If you want to know what you've missed, buy the MIG, if you can stand the annoyance.

This is a list of all the semi-official stuff that should still be available through Reaching Moon Megacorp. I've not included the Wizard's Attic books, as they're effectively Chaosium publications. You can find more reviews on the Web, at:

Prices are listed in UK Pounds, 'cos they're what I spend money in. Contact your local Tales rep for details, or contact me if you don't know who that is.
