My first guess is VDS as well, but as you note, there are lots of things it could be. From this very thread:

On Indefinite Hold/Rumor/Unknown/Vaporware

GURPS Armourer's Handbook (by unknown): while the title is known it's still 'vaporware'; might see a release near Vehicle Design. (Total hints: 2 as of 12/22/2015)

GURPS Bestiary (by unknown): March 19th, 2010: "the wheel turned another few degrees on GURPS Bestiary this week. It isn't just parked"; made more progress on 4/30/10; coming quite soon. (Total hints: 3 as of 02/19/2016)

Girl Genius Sourcebook and RPG (by Jason "PK" Levine and others): PK editing existing text and writing more, aiming for 2013 release as of May 27th; is on administrative hold. (Total hints: 2 as of 12/22/2015)

Unknown GURPS 4th edition conversion (by Jason "PK" Levine): probably unknown item in prepress as of January GURPS News; edited draft submitted as of March 25th, 2011. (Total hints: 2 as of 12/22/2015)

Unnamed Project (by unknown): A book about what to do in your vehicle (vs. vehicle design). Tentative titles: GURPS Vehicle Action or GURPS Vehicles in Action as seen here. (Total hints: 1 as of 12/22/2015)

Some of these were never things (that is, nobody was working on them, but they'd like to), but quite a few have been. There's also Matt Rigsby's unnamed project, which we haven't heard from since 2015.

The point here is that there are plenty of things it could be, other than Your Favorite Project, so I'd take it as a null point until I hear more.

I thought I had read that Bestiary had been canceled. Perhaps I misremember.

There was some talk about it disappearing from the Wish List, perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

And of course there are two interpretations to that- it was cancelled, or, someone's now doing it.

While I've got some stuff in the pipeline, I don't have any lurking projects which have been stalled for years. I'm far too lazy to look up the original reference, but that "unnamed project" is certainly one which has already been published. It was just never linked to a named item later.

Thank you, I have now updated that.
Its tough sometimes with the hidden clues to correctly follow all the projects.

I think there are some other things to update.

One of the Pyramid DFRPG has been released, Epic has been released, also its not 2016 so upcoming Pyramid issues can be adjusted.

Good catch, thank you. That post has now been updated.

Though I'd love for it to be one of those, it's more likely to be something like the new Monster Hunters volume, which apparently ran into trouble during peer review and then required some time-consuming re-writing.

• Best of Pyramid 1
• Flight 13
• Grimoire
• Space Atlas 4
• Space: Terradyne
• Supers
• Supporting Cast
• Time Travel
• Time Travel Adventures
• Vehicles Lite
• Villains

There are a few items from the Car Wars line still absent that might be worth adding to the list:

Car Wars
Autoduel Champions*
Car Wars Reference Screen
Car Wars Vehicle Design Sheets

*This one might have some issues due to it being both a Car Wars and a Champions supplement.
