Another week in the life of GURPS

Aaaaaaaaaand . . . another Friday report on GURPS:

• Jason Levine and Scott Maykrantz's GURPS Creatures of the Night 4 is now very close to seeing daylight. We did the final production review this week and I found only a few things to nitpick.

• Jason and Scott's GURPS Creatures of the Night 5 isn't too far off, either. I just turned in my final comments on the rough PDF. (And as an aside . . . geez, these CotN items are full of creepy stuff. Take my advice: Never accept an offer to stay at Jason or Scott's place.)

• My own GURPS Action 2: Exploits is also through the editorial process and into production. In fact, I've already reviewed the rough PDF, which is looking good. (Nikki appears to know the Great Haste spell.)

• I reviewed the first draft of Shawn Fisher and Hans-Christian Vortisch's GURPS Loadouts: Monster Hunters. There's a lot more than loadouts here -- monster-huntin' gamers should really love this one, even if they already have GURPS High-Tech and think they have all the gear they need to stop Sorrow Sobstory, Eighth Generation Leech.

• We've moved another step closer to having princeofcairo contracted for a new hardback! I can't share the title yet.

• The GURPS News is updated, for those who follow it.

A word on vandalism

It's fun!

To be specific, Bonnie went to her baladi class tonight . . . and her lock failed her, leaving her on the outside of the locker containing her street clothes (something of a problem when you're dressed for belly dancing). The fellow at the night desk did not have bolt cutters, or in fact any tools. The problem was ultimately solved by summoning Sean with a Big Hammer.

It's very cathartic to bash the living crap out of something, free of all guilt that you're breaking any laws. That goes double on a Friday night, at the end of a busy work week.

And yes, the lock opened forthwith.
