Another week in the life of GURPS

This was one of those weeks where most of what I did was "behind the scenes" and likely not the sort of stuff you would be reading these notes to learn about (back covers for upcoming POD releases, input on a foreign-language translation, progress on contracts, input on a survey, and administrivia related to our forums). Here's the laundry list of interesting GURPS news:

• We reviewed the rough PDF of Pyramid #3/7. The topic? Urban fantasy. The offerings? Very cool! There's a lot of good campaign inspiration here, much of it systemless. If urban fantasy is your thing, please check out this issue when we release it in a couple of weeks.

• I wrote a long-ish item related to GURPS Action for Pyramid #3/8. I don't want to steal the magazine's thunder, but I can say that the article involves things like femmes fatales and Men of Science.

• I can't name titles, but there was significant progress on a new GURPS WWII release for e23 this week. No ETA on that yet – sorry!

• I've been named editor of GURPS Low-Tech, GURPS Low-Tech Companion 1-3, and GURPS Horror. That pretty much blocks off most of my year . . . and it used up a fair bit of the week, too.

• Speaking of GURPS Low-Tech and GURPS Low-Tech Companion 1-3, we now have over 40 playtest candidates. Things are looking good for a playtest starting in around a week.

Oh great, 40+ playtesters and you're our editor. How can it get any worse?

Bill, Dan, and I could be your co-authors?

See what happens when you ask how it can get worse?

It's not as if we had to take everyone who offered to playtest! We can throw some of them back.
