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

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.

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.
