Re: Holy Hunters
I'm happy to see a new Monster Hunters entry this year. Now I have a Christmas present for myself.

Re: Holy Hunters
I would love this too, though Bali is such a rich source of inspiration for gaming that you hardly need to do more research than just find pictures online. Twenty-some years ago I spent some time on Bali and took a lot of photos. I still use some of them as props for adventures. I stayed in a hostel close to the "monkey forest" and walked there almost every day; it was incredible.

It's a near-modern tale of greed and downfall, and also a flat-out dungeon delve pic. Not as much as it could be – there's a great dungeon-y structure at the center, but only one room, and one monster, get the focus. (With a bonus monster in the first half.) Still, any gamer will instantly appreciate the action: gear up, delve into creepy room, set the magical protections, trick the monster, get the treasure, get out just in time... and repeat, as long as there's more gold to be had (the creed of any true dungeon delver!). To that, add really creepy mythology and Indian twists to the magic and monsters. Anyone who appreciates the Hinduism content in Holy Hunters (and hopes to someday see GURPS: India) would probably enjoy it. Check your favorite streaming services.

Re: Holy Hunters
I hope we will see more supplements from PK. They are always very good.

Re: Holy Hunters
Really enjoyed this. Well-written and I think does a good job of handling some real-world political hot-topics in a way which is unlikely to offend without falling into the trap of whitewashing everything to the point of dullness.
Would love to see a more in-depth real-world religion book from a general gaming perspective, or possibly even a series. Might be hard to get authors who know enough about anything other than Christianity, Judaism, and Neo-Paganism though. The miracles are fairly bland, but serviceable. Monsters are generally useful, although the MH ones tend to be a bit on the tough side for other genres.
