It's not an attempt to be coy; it's just that surprises can continue to crop up until even the last minute. (I recall feeling really bad when one author had podcasts and interviews lined up in anticipation of a release date, only to have the item pushed back at the last minute. LOTS of extra effort to reschedule or cancel those promotional efforts...)

I totally get that. I was just noting for others that *I* wasn't sitting smugly on the sidelines with a successful Hidden Lore (GURPS Release Dates) success in my pocket. I was as honestly in the dark as most when I filled out Ghostdancer's survey, for example.

Cool!

So, when's the next GURPS release?

If we don't get lucky and have another new GURPS, or Classic GURPS release, we will get a Pyramid on the 19th. ;0}

Which will most likely be the Pirate issue, given the date. The next GURPS monograph is probably either Ritual Path Magic or Zombies. Zombies does make a lot of sense for Halloween.

Douglas Cole is a lucky man, given that he's getting the GURPS Addict dollar. I wonder how many people bought it just because "ZOMG GURPS!"

For me, I'd be remiss to pass it up given the previous additions Douglas has made to my campaign. Discovering the detailed canine rules within is just a bonus for my werewolves (and those of two other local campaigns)

I suspect this will be a significant thing. Hopefully people like it anyway.

The playtesters hit the non-human grappling angle pretty hard, to the book's benefit.

That's also a good tip for any would-be contributors: I take seriously the GURPS mandate of "any character, any genre, any time." I don't know if I banged that gong during Technical Grappling's development, but I'm sure I would've if I didn't see it getting addressed.
