I like the sound of that rather more. ;-)

Yeah but I think that work is done and we wont likely see those books til August or Sept. We lost June and I'm hoping not to lose July too.

Kromm's Magic title just passed final production review. We'll get that in short order, I suspect, and probably at least one of the two short Dungeon Fantasy pieces. And there's that unknown Pulver short that went into production at the very end of June, too.

So the mill is grinding steadily; we just seem to be hearing less about it. (In terms of specific titles / plans, not steps of process.)

Yeah, thats the hope we have two or three through production and a few more somewhere in the production phase (art and layout).

GURPS Magic: The Least of Spells

And it’s a clever system addition with good ideas and well-crafted rules, as you’d expect from Kromm. I’d been thinking about low-(adventuring)-utility “craft magic” styles, and this supplement is just what I needed.

Why hasn’t it had one of the usual haiku-introduced product announcements?

I expect it to get that later today. Used to be Thursdays but most of 2020 and possibly much of 2019 seems to have been announcements on Friday.

Generally, products are released Thursdays, and Steven Marsh posts a note in the Warehouse 23 Digital forum the same day. I usually post my more detailed blurb to the GURPS forum the following day (Friday). And there's normally a Daily Illuminator about new stuff in the weeks that follow.

I love seeing how a pattern that's been more or less consistent for years still manages to surprise people.

Yep! I've just about always waited until the day after release to post, though there might be one or two examples in the past 15 years or so when I've posted on the same day.

I'm guessing Kromm's Dungeon Fantasy item is next.
