GURPS Releases seem to be slow?
I've noticed that there seems to be a relative slow release schedule for books circling GURPS. Zombies is the only upcoming release I've even seen mentioned.
What gives? |

GURPS Technical Grappling. GURPS Adventure Guns. GURPS Vehicle Design System.
Now you've heard several more mentioned.

Re: GURPS Releases seem to be slow?
SJgames is currently working on another project, if I remember correctly. Gurps isn't where they make their money. They make their money doing other things and do Gurps on the side.

You might find this post informative. At present, Ogre remains the chief holdup, and the status of those GURPS projects looks like this:

Re: GURPS Releases seem to be slow?
Thank you for replies. I'm happy to especially see Zombies and Thaumatology getting love.

Re: GURPS Releases seem to be slow?
I know these sentiments have been expressed numerous times, but it can't be said enough:
I can't wait to throw money at SJG for GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic and GURPS Vehicle Design. I had almost given up on the latter; I am so happy to see it's sitll moving forward. I was particularly encouraged by your mention of it in your live journal recently.

Here's hoping Ogre gets out of the way.
BTW, wasn't that meant to be released a while ago? |

And then I shall pelt Steven Marsh with more book proposals. Bwah ha ha!
I think they'd originally hoped to have it out around now. IIRC, they're currently looking at April.

It was. Now everyone's just trying to find a moving truck capable of carrying just one of them.
