Another week in the life of GURPS

[dr_kromm]

This week's GURPS update will be short because I'm still recovering from an illness and because said illness kept me from making as much progress as I would have liked:

• We reviewed the rough PDF of GURPS Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence, the latest from Matt Riggsby (wombattery). I liked what I saw . . . which means that this one should be uploaded sometime in the next couple of weeks.

• Playtesting is over on GURPS Urban Magics, by Bill Stoddard (whswhs). Bill and I have been working on a few rules puzzles raised by the playtesters. Overall, the project looks like it's on target.

• Playtesting proceeds on GURPS Spaceships 5 and GURPS Spaceships 6, both by David Pulver. Based on what I've seen, that seems to be going well.

• I finally finished my review of the first draft of GURPS Horror, by Ken Hite. Excellent! We'll require a few good geeks to check stats during the playtest, which will probably happen sometime during the June-July period, after the GURPS Low-Tech and GURPS Gun Fu playtests.

• And speaking of GURPS Gun Fu, Hans-Christian Vortisch and I continue to devise rules for that item and its sequel (every good shoot-em-up has a sequel . . .).
