This week is named Sabira. The news:

• I dealt with a minor issue standing between GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 24: Finer Points (one of my own!) and its release next week.

• The GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised FAQ went up.

• I edited and submitted Thomas Pugh's GURPS Banestorm: Whispers of Tohrent.

• I got John Shimmin's GURPS Locations: Institute of Metaphysics Library ready to edit. Work in earnest starts next week.

• I helped David Pulver cut some rules knots he ran into on GURPS Armor Design.

• Virtual meetings happened, as always.

This week is named Sirma. The news:

• I finished the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised FAQ and submitted it to the webmaster. Once it goes live, I will share the URL far and wide.

• I worked with Nikki to get GURPS Power-Ups 11: Roll Your Own Skills and GURPS Template Toolkit 5 closer to ready for 2026. I am not going to let any surprises sideline next year's release schedule.

• I devoted more time to GURPS-related meetings and Daily Illuminators.

• I did a bunch of "end of year" work because SJ Games will be closed December 24 through January 4, and my last workday of 2025 is next week.

That last point means that you won't see updates here on December 26 and January 2. Expect one or the other as I briefly come out of hibernation to round up the month of December and for that matter the rest of 2025.

This week is named Sona. The news:

• The GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised took further steps toward the printer, though it isn't there yet.

• I am presently checking the text of – and selecting art and quotes for – the preliminary PDF of GURPS Action 10.

• I accepted another final draft that I cannot name yet . . . into the editorial queue with that!

• I reviewed queries from a well-known GURPS freelancer.

• We shuffled and (hopefully!) finalized the 2026 release schedule. The GURPS News in late December will reflect this.

• There were long meetings.

This week is named Felix. The news:

• We released GURPS Gun Stats. Pow! You can read about that here.

• We finished the prepress review of the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised. We'll have a premortem meeting next week and then it will go to the printer!

• We met to plan the next steps for GURPS Ring of Fire, including such matters as a preliminary layout, art, and cartography. It is moving much faster than past licensed products ever did.

• I devoted significant effort to one of the remaining Sekrit Projekts.
