Re: [New Release] GURPS Social Engineering
Whoa. 364 sales thus far ... that's in a bit under a week. That seems fast - only just out of the top 100 (4 more and it's in).

Re: [New Release] GURPS Social Engineering
That's impressive - for comparison, Low Tech sold 364 in 7 days (and it and the LTCs all sold very well - LT & LTC2 made the Top 20 within 1 Year!), Social Engineering has managed the same in 6 days!

Re: [New Release] GURPS Social Engineering
I just noticed the new Expanded Influence Rolls with a rebalanced table of results, and an explanation that the Mysteries one was biased towards difficult hardboiled stories. Makes me happy.

Re: [New Release] GURPS Social Engineering
I bought the book, and read it. While it is interesting I can't see that I'd use it in a game.

Perhaps someone already spotted this, but anyway here is it:
Under "Reaction Rolls and Modifiers", the book says: Quote:
Another two instances of a wrong page number for Motives are under "General Reactions": Quote:

Re: [New Release] GURPS Social Engineering
Looking over bibliography, I'm puzzled:
It lists Dexter, but not Lie to Me? Given just how focused Lie to Me is on social stuff, this is rather surprising. Just a matter of contrast. No Ekman in the books either, though I guess that one is more obscure than the TV series. |
