Review some SJG roleplaying products!
When someone is deciding whether to buy a book, but can't flip through a copy or ask a friend who has read it, the first place they are likely to go is their favourite search engine. However, when I google “GURPS $title review” I usually get more torrent sites than actual reviews. Lets change that.
GURPS Action 1: Heroes: Reviews by Clay Dowling http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/15/15216.phtml and Christopher https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...gurps-action-1 GURPS Action 2: Exploits: <Guards doze in front of a bank of CCTV monitors> Review by http://dungeonfantastic.blogspot.co....-exploits.html GURPS Action 3: Furious Fists: Review by Christopher https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...gurps-action-3 GURPS Action 4: Specialists: http://insidiousgurpsplanning.blogsp...-action-4.html Compact Castles: Reviews by atpollard http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/15/15775.phtml, Aneirin Howard http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/15/15776.phtml GURPS Pulp Guns 1: One review here http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/15/15595.phtml GURPS Pulp Guns 2: <Silence is unbroken except for the pop of a silenced .22, the clack of a bolt, and the ping of brass hitting concrete> Combined review Ed Healy http://gamerati.com/gurps-high-tech-pulp-guns/ GURPS High-Tech: Adventure Guns: One review by Ravenpenny http://www.ravensnpennies.com/2015/0...adventure.html GURPS Low Tech: Reviews by Jamie Revell http://www.guildcompanion.com/scroll...pslowtech.html Eric Bryden http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/15/15386.phtml and Territan http://www.ipantsthedwarf.com/2010/1...-low-tech.html GURPS Low Tech: Instant Armour https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/743...-fine-pdf-only GURPS Loadouts: Low-Tech Armour: <Tassets snick over cuisses as a man in harness fidgets> GURPS High Tech: There are some Amazon customer reviews here. GURPS Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence: <Choir of eunuchs breaks into chorus as a man in a faded doublet in the shadows behind a pillar whispers something to a man in a fur robe> GURPS Infinite Worlds: Collegio Januarii: <Someone seems to have cast Mage Stealth on this volume> How to Be a GURPS GM: Review by Dan D. http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/16/16157.phtml So zero to two reviews is most common. Who is willing to commit to reviewing a SJG roleplaying product and posting it on some venue visible to search engines and not hosted by Steve Jackson Games? I have already published at least one and can think of a place to put another under a handle which I do not use here. Do you know of reviews, or absences of reviews, for any other SJG roleplaying products? Feel free to add them here. Similarly, if you post a review under a handle which you don't mind linking to your handle here, feel free to come back here and boast! (Relevant threads: Raise a million for GURPS and the 2014 Report to the Stakeholders where for the first time GURPS was absent from the list of the top 40 products by value sold).

Re: Review some SJG roleplaying products!
For better google juice, I recommend putting the text that relates to the link ON the link, instead of next to it. Like this:
GURPS Action 1: Heroes, Review by Clay Dowling GURPS Action 1: Heroes, Review by Christopher Rice

I won't edit the OP because it would take time and make the list of reviews by book less clear, but anyone adding reviews to this thread can gladly include those things in the text of their link.

Re: Review some SJG roleplaying products!
I've also got some here - and I plan on doing another dozen or so in the coming months.

Re: Review some SJG roleplaying products!
Dan D. was kind enough to review "How to Be a GURPS GM" for RPG.net.

Re: Review some SJG roleplaying products!
It would be great if folks could post reviews or links to reviews on the Board Game Geek/RPG geek page for GURPS. That page has looked dead for a while, which may be a factor in the belief that GURPS is dead among casual gamers.
