[New Release] GURPS Zombies

[ronom]

I've put it in quarantine, hopefully before the other GURPS books were infected!

I ordered a copy from the local gaming store. I'm waiting for it to arrive.

Got it, and nice to see a hardback GURPS book for a change. Enjoying it greatly. A couple of little questions / observations though:

-interior illustrations are black and white, as they were for GURPS Horror. Does this mean a return to B&W illos in GURPS publications? Just curious.

-I'm still holding out hopes that if there's reason for GURPS Zombies, there ought to be reason for a revised edition of GURPS Undead, with a revised version of GURPS Blood Types folded into it. After all, vampire stuff is just as big a part of popular culture these days as zombie stuff.

I'm actually not sure that's the case anymore. Zombies seem to have succeeded vampires; I don't see nearly as many bloodsuckers in popular culture as I did in, say, the 1990s.

YMMV, of course.

Yup. Seems to me that vampires are on the way out (though they'll never be entirely out), zombies have the stage at present, and Vikings are waiting in the wings.
