Another week in the life of GURPS

[dr_kromm]

And the GURPS played on. That's a good thing for a game to do, really. Particulars include:

• The rough PDF of Pyramid #3/16: Historical Exploration was reviewed – although not by me, personally. Except that I just had to sneak a peek: stuff on specific alternate timelines and cities, and on Vikings . . . general advice on cultures, customs, and languages . . . oh, and at least one legendary site. Cool!

• My edit of GURPS Low-Tech Companion 1-3 moves on. I'm just shy of 92% by page count, now. I spent a lot of time looking at the rules for designing buildings this week, as well as the sections on transportation networks. The simulationists are going to be quite happy, I think.

• GURPS Plant Magic, by Scott Maykrantz, headed into playtest this week, and things are very active. Somewhere in there, I fired off a short bit of additional material to Scott. It had to do with fungi, which aren't plants but which tend to get treated as such by wizards. Mmm, spores.

• Peter Dell'Orto (peterdellorto ) submitted the first draft of his latest item. No, I can't tell you what it is. But it, er, involves flipping out and being totally awesome.

Ideally, I would like to have a separate College of Fungus Magic. It could probably overlap with the College of Microorganism Magic I wrote up for Pyramid when it was a weekly. . . .

I, and many of the other play testers feel the same way about a fungus college. It makes things easier if it's separate - but related.

Fungi are too interesting not to have their own college.

What date, do you remember? (goes shuffling off through the archives to find it)

Last updated 29 May 2006, so probably in mid-2006.

No, but I now know what my next project is!

I could do both!

Better if you do. The former reality-checks the latter.

May I borrow your enemy killing trained monkey's?

I have some candidates to test their training on.
