Another week in the life of GURPS
Caramba, but this was a busy week in the little world o' GURPS. Highlights:
• We reviewed the PDF of David Pulver's GURPS Spaceships 4: Fighters, Carriers, and Mecha. This is just the thing for gamers who like small spacecraft . . . or huge vessels that carry swarms of them . . . or spaceships with arms and legs (what?!). Look for it in early May.
• Steven Marsh (waitingforgo) posted the call for playtesters for GURPS Urban Magics, by Bill Stoddard (
whswhs). If you're into magic in urban settings, and meet the playtest requirements, why not jump in?
• I reviewed and wrote up comments on the first draft of GURPS Low-Tech Companion 1: Philosophers and Kings. Those who like thoughtful low-tech games – especially historically accurate ones – will love this GURPS Low-Tech add-on.
• I reviewed and commented on the first draft of GURPS Low-Tech Companion 2: Weapons and Warriors, too. Gamers whose idea of historical accuracy is highly detailed violence will prefer this item.
• And then I started my review of GURPS Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics. This veers back into the "thoughtful" category, but at the level of farmers and masons rather than thinkers and leaders.
• I turned in more content for GURPS Gun Fu, which I'm writing with Hans-Christian Vortisch and S.A. Fisher. It'll be in the review and playtest queues before we know it. I need to learn how to review two manuscripts whilst jumping through the week to keep up with all this stuff.
