Another week in the life of GURPS

This week is named Ricky, because he's silly. And here's what happened in GURPS:

• We released Pyramid #3/25: Epic Magic. I pimped it in the forums, but here's the short version: This one is about magic that can change, even create, a world . . . or at least give it a good shaking.

• GURPS Supporting Cast: Age of Sail Pirate Crew, by Nicholas Lovell, moved into prepress. We finally got our sloops, swivel-guns, and boarding pikes shipshape.

• The preview PDF of GURPS Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics, by Matt Riggsby (wombattery) and Bill Stoddard (whswhs), is just about through its review. We're almost done making all the content tweaks pertaining to things like butchers and cows.

• Nikki did a rough pour of GURPS Horror, by Ken Hite (princeofcairo). This in no way means that it's close to release – it isn't even ready for art yet – but this is a milestone that tells us that the book is moving through our process more quickly than GURPS Low-Tech did.

• I'm at the 47% mark by word count on my edit of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 1, by Peter Dell'Orto (peterdellorto) with y.t. I stopped at "leaping leeches." Eew.

• The call for playtesters for GURPS Social Engineering, by Bill Stoddard (whswhs), is now posted in our forums. It's like a playtest within a playtest, seeing how well the expanded search-roll mechanics work as we seek out playtesters . . .
