GURPS books that never were...

GoblynByte · 11-18-2009, 04:59 PM

I'm not trying to dwell on the negative, here. I just think it might be fun to look back and try to remember what GURPS books were 'in the works' but never saw the light of day.

The 4e Bestiary comes to mind, but what else? Also, I think there was a Middle Ages II for 3e that was never made.

Can anyone think of any others?

GURPS India

Several WWII books, including the Russian and Japanese sourcebooks.

That said, SJG did announce earlier this year that GURPS WWII: Red Tide is out of editing, so there may be an e23 release in the not-so-distant future.

GURPS Difference Engine (author died tragically), GURPS Survivors (post-holocaust; SJ wanted to but never wrote it), and I think there was talk of a GURPS Alvin Maker, though I don't know if that was more than idle musing.

Is this the case with GURPS Girl Genius or is it just severely stalled?

That one's "severely stalled" - Phil and Kaja Foligo occasionally mention on their own website that they want to get back to it.

GURPS Talislanta.

GURPS: Requiem.

GURPS 4E Atlantis or some other source book detailing rules on adventuring Under the Sea.

Man, we're way overdue for this.
