GURPS Bestiary - 4th ed.
Why is there no bestiary for fourth edition? What's the rationale behind this? Someone please tell me.

Re: GURPS Bestiary - 4th ed.
The rationale, I believe, is that they haven't good a sufficiently good offer. I'm fairly certain Kromm has stated as much on his blog.

Re: GURPS Bestiary - 4th ed.
I think there were rumours that something like a Bestiary is in development...?! well, we'll see...
Anyway there is still a lot of material spread over several sourcebook and of course the great community stuff. |

For animals and natural beasts (mostly) many of us still use the GURPS Bestiary for GURPS Third Edition. And there's the weird (IMO) GURPS Fantasy Bestiary, too. (And maybe Third Edition Space Bestary, or something like that, although I don't like to mix sci-fi elements into fantasy. And then there's GURPS Horror, Blood Types, Undead, etc, with more third edition creatures). Speaking about DF 13: Monsters 1, I would like to see a relatively "hefty" volume (50 pages or more) Additionally I have the concern of the art for a book like this: since a considerable amount of the art in the PDF releases by Steve Jackson Games consists on "recycled" pieces of art from third edition publications (and never before published pieces, too, years ago produced for third edition books, but then discarded -for reasons of space, or other different ones), I wonder how these new monsters are going to have their corresponding illustrations. Sure not all of them need to be "new monsters" requiring specific brand-new illustrations, and I acknowledge not every single monster is going to deserve a particular illustration, but still . . . ...And I'm aware SJG's PDF releases are including some new, original art pieces specifically designed for the release at hand, too. PS: I wrote this in a hurry . . . Apologies for the inaccuracies.
