The Asylum and Other Tales by Sandy Petersen
One of my more favorite early releases by Chaosium, this is an adventure 'anthology' that offeres a wide variety of terrific scenarios (my favorite being the titled adventure and one involving an European occult auction - both, no surprise, by the same author).

Guide to Glorantha by Greg Stafford
This wonderfully ambitious & voluminous work does long-awaited justice to the spectacular scope & integrity of Greg Stafford's extraordinary world Glorantha, which I believe knows only one potential rival: Tolkien's Middle Earth.

H. P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands by Chris Williams
I'll admit that I have a soft spot for the Dreamlands. It's a place where, if it's so desired, players can buckle their swashes and engage in the sort of high-flying adventure that Call of Cthulhu normally doesn't encourage. That said, it's even less supported than the Gaslight setting; I think it's a rule that settings I'm interested in will promptly be ignored when it comes to adventures and supplements.

Call Of Cthulhu: Horror Roleplaying In the Worlds Of H.p. Lovecraft (Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Series) by Sandy Petersen
Possibly the greatest pen-and-paper RPG of all time, based on the works of one of my favorite childhood authors. Who doesn't want to pretend to be bon vivants and librarians confronting the meaningless madness of space and time? So cool it's ridiculous.
