Looking like the new TFT adventure is all we get today, Kromm posted Pyramid should be out today so lets see.
Next year the Spec thread should have TFT as its own category.

It's interesting reading this thread, as the new "person in charge of freelance contracts," because there is so much cool stuff in the works you guys and I can't talk about any of it.

The important thing is that I had a busy October and my contract duties were more of that than I expected.

Just in, Andrew Hackard confirms GURPS Magic: Ice and Water Spells in the pipeline!

Also Kromm has been giving us earlier hints than usual by announcing contract discussions. Going to make keeping rumors straight crazy but worth it.

Clearly it's another cross-brand promotion: the GURPS adaptation of Hipster Dice.

I was playing it before it caught on.

So is The Fantasy Trip the precursor for GURPS?

Lets say Inspiration to avoid legal entanglements.
Both were written by Steve Jackson and TFT was first. After he left that company he bought back some of the rights to some things he authored for them but they (from what I heard refused to sell the rights to TFT).
He picked up those rights last year and the company is long gone.

GURPS is more complicated and versatile than TFT but you can see the influence or similarity but not nearly enough to call them the same.
TFT is really a great game to play with newbies over lunch or a con. Hopefully (to my mind) weaning them over to GURPS when they want more choices.

I'm guessing the adventure isn't dual-system (stats for GURPS and TFT)?

That would be my guess.
Anyone have ideas on the mockup Kromm is working on?
https://dr-kromm.livejournal.com/222436.html

Another hint on the cool trend. Cabart Chicks on Ice?
A winter travel supplement? (I would like to see that actually, rules for skiing, ice skating, gear, etc all expanded)
Maybe a physical product? That was my first thought but mockups can apply to art or layout.

Holiday sale on swlect W23 items and it looks like the mockup Kromm was working on might have been aDFRPG bestiary.
