Where I was . . .

. . . last week. I didn't post my usual work-related update here on September 16 because I was in Ottawa, attending my father's Order of Canada investiture ceremony. It was wonderful to see my parents! The ceremony was perfect, too – long enough to give each recipient her or his due, short enough that nobody grew tired or impatient, and smooth enough that it felt like Something Important, not a high-school convocation. Anyway, Dad just forwarded me links to the official photo and a video of the ceremony, for those who have an interest in such things.

Another two weeks in the life of GURPS

Since I skipped a week, this update covers two . . . so I dub thee "Gemini." But what's new?

• We released Pyramid #3/35: Aliens, for starters. It talks about the creation, use, and abuse of aliens in your campaign.

• Transhuman Space: Martial Arts 2100, by Phil Masters (phil_masters), is in prepress. It won't be long before you're throwing those dreaded future kicks. (The reference to a truly dreadful film was a low blow . . . but whatever it takes to win.)

• GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Adventure 1: Mirror of the Fire Demon, by Matt Riggsby (wombattery), is just about through its edit.

• GURPS Hot Spots: Constantinople, 527-1204 A.D., by Matt Riggsby (wombattery), GURPS Locations: Worminghall, by Bill Stoddard (whswhs), and Transhuman Space: Wings of the Rising Sun, by David Chart . . . all are now in the review process.

• I just finished my half of the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy item I'm writing with by henchman, Peter Dell'Orto (peterdellorto).
