Another week in the life of GURPS

While SJ Games' American arm is on holiday for Thanksgiving, we (wee?) Canadian gnomes are at work on GURPS. Or something like that. Here's what's new:

• We released GURPS Thaumatology: Urban Magics, by Bill Stoddard ([livejournal.com profile] whswhs). That's 55 pages of goodness for magic-using campaigns set against an urban backdrop – or for any campaign where cities and magic inspire and influence one another, really.

• We finished our review of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 8: Treasure Tables, by Matt Riggsby ([livejournal.com profile] wombattery). That was a long review! This is a big item! But it represents another book of stuff that will nicely complement all the character-creation supplements released so far for Dungeon Fantasy.

• My edit of GURPS Low-Tech Companion 1-3 (the set, so I'm talking about all three) is at the 20.2% mark by page count. The items above and below somewhat cut into my editing time, but progress was made on such diverse topics as pyramids, didgeridoos, pascalines, orreries, and phlogiston.

• I reviewed the rules and stats ("crunch") in the first draft of the latest staff-written item from Reverend Pee Kitty ([livejournal.com profile] peekitty). I cannot give out details – this one is unannounced, and I have specific orders to stay quiet – so you'll just have to read my mind.

• Hans-Christian Vortisch submitted the first draft of GURPS Tactical Shooting, which does for hard-core, high-realism firearms combat what GURPS Gun Fu does for, um, gun fu. We have no ETA on playtesting, much less a release date, but since this item's existence is an open secret, I figured I'd let you all know that it has reached an important milestone.
