This week is named Ng. I was not well at all for most of it, so my efforts were limited to administrative matters and general project support. Still, healthier souls than I moved things along:

• My GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 6: Tiny Terrors progressed down the track toward release later this month.

• GURPS Ring of Fire officially entered prepress.

• I updated the Warehouse 23 Digital Wish List and the Warehouse 23 Wish List for GURPS.

This week is named Verity. The news:

• We put the final touches on GURPS Template Toolkit 5: Quick and Pointless. Expect that next week!

• We also put the final touches on GURPS Martial Arts: The Bolognese School. Expect that in November.

• I submitted my latest short writing project. All I'll admit for now is that it's for the GURPS Powers series, and is specific, not generic.

• And of course I was pulled into meetings, planning discussions, website updates, and other administrative duties.

With that, I am on "greatly reduced hours" from August 22 to September 7, inclusive. I am not saying "vacation" due to this being unpaid time off – I'll probably do some work here and there to pay the bills – but I have things to recover from, so don't expect an update here until September 11.

This week is named Domenico. The news:

• I continued to write my latest Sekrit Projekt, and made decent progress.

• I updated the Warehouse 23 Digital Wish List and the Warehouse 23 Wish List for GURPS . . . yes, again.

Most of the rest was an unusually large volume of "administrative" tasks – errata, meetings, and even billing matters – and counselling various writers on ongoing projects.

This week is named Galen. No, you didn't miss last week's update . . . there wasn't one, because I had to get my mother to a surgical follow-up and then to the airport, and managed to injure my back in the process. The news:

• We released GURPS Power-Ups 11: Roll Your Own Skills. You can read about that here.

• The GURPS Armor Design playtest continued, and I continued to address important rules questions emerging from it.

• I did some writing for my new Sekrit Projekt.

• I participated in many times more meetings than usual this week.

• I updated the Warehouse 23 Digital Wish List and the Warehouse 23 Wish List for GURPS, and moved the Freelancer FAQ off Dropbox (which was annoying people).

Oh, and since people have been asking: It looks like the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised ships at the start of next week, in time for my birthday.
