Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
Personally, one setting I want to see updated is Technomancer. It's my favorite in-house SJGames setting and one I've run in the past (instead of just making my own which I mostly prefer).

I apologize; it was not my intent to sound like I was pigeon-holing you.

What allows That Other Game and Its Near Relative their market dominance is their ability to use that large customer base to sell adventures. From looking at game listings in my area, many people may only play published material rather than creating their own. And Im amazed by the number of board games which are basically rules-light RPGs designed to run an adventure without a GM. Weve previously discussed the economic challenges for smaller publishers in selling adventures, particularly for a multi-genre rules set. Im glad SJGames offers several options for the Dungeon Fantasy line (though I hope that effort doesnt swing entirely to TFT releases instead!). I wonder what would happen if the most prolific of the GURPS bloggers declared an adventure month in which to offer a variety of homebrew ready-mades?

Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
Now that weve seen various Dungeon Fantasy material compiled and republished from Volumes 2 and 3 of Pyramid, I wonder about the feasibility of linking together and extending some of the "article arcs" covering topics like Roma Universalis, etc.

Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
Well, no, that's only a symptom. It's really just a case of a large customer base is generally better -- it means it's easier to find other players, easier to find product (and it gets spotlight time), they can afford higher production values on their products, they can publish more products, etc, etc, etc.

Hmm. Yes. Linking together articles.

I think a good adventure takes too much time to write for that to work well. I have considered but not gotten around to compiling a list of adventures in Pyramid, there are a lot of them.

Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
True; I spoke somewhat prematurely. But we know it's pretty much finished and ready for release, first in hard copy for Kickstarter backers and then (one would hope) as a PDF.

Re: The 2019 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
Those would work nicely as PDF supplements to the 3e editions, kind of like the 4e upgrade guides for Transhuman Space and Reign of Steel. Branding them as MH material would probably help. :-)
