Too bad. While I can understand Munchkin not being everyone's cup of tea, there are plenty of card games -- from euchre to Bohnaza -- that are more fun than drunk monkeys on ice.

Let me say that again: there was no purge. Not one contract has been dissolved, not one word has been deleted, not one project has been put into the dust bin.

GURPS Ultra-Tech should ship in February, barring any delays at the docks on the West Coast.

GURPS Martial Arts is looking like a Q2 release, right now.

However, I will caution you: part of the reprioritization is the sad fact that these dates may -- nay, will likely -- slip. If Munchkin needs a reprint, that project will get the Print Buyer's time, and gathering the files for Martial Arts to go to the printer will wait to another day. "Undefined waits" are a reality, I'm afraid.
