Default The 2013 e23 Releases and Speculation Thread

In the glorious tradition of e23 speculation welcome to the 5th annual e23 releases and speculation thread! The first thread was maintained by SCAR in 2009 and the 2010, 2011, and 2012 threads were headed up by Jalapeno Dude.

What’s on the record to come this year you ask? My guesses for the next month are in Green. I’m definitely not privy to any insider info just like Jalapeno Dude and SCAR before me.

Speculative Sources

In addition to these forums, my sources include the blogs of Dr. Kromm, Phil Masters, and William H. Stoddard and Rev. Pee Kitty's Twitter. Roger Burton West's GURPS Fourth Edition: What's Coming Up is more exhaustive and less speculative than this thread can/will be.


Upcoming Pyramid Issues
  • Alternate GURPS III
  • Infinite Worlds II
  • Spaceships II
  • Pirates & Swashbucklers
  • Tools of the Trade - Villains
  • The Law of Magic
  • The Wild West
  • Natural Magic
  • Alternate Dungeons

Taken from here. It warns that "the exact order of "TBA" issues is subject to change," but the order listed has almost always equaled the order released thus far. Issues almost always come out on the second-to-last Thursday of the month.


Remaining Classic Releases

GURPS: 34 remaining non-licensed items (8 Autoduel, 6 Traveller):

Thank you.


For all those following along I'm not putting any guesses on the board that are more than a month off till the 'clog' in the pipeline clears for GURPS. It seems to be starting to move with the supposed release of Underground Adventures this month but I want to wait and see first.

Again, thanks for anyone who notices any mistakes I make. Multiple eyes on a project are always welcome. :-)

Up at the top of the thread, we see listed:

Looking at the current wish list, though, "Alternate GURPS III" and "Military Sci-Fi" have disappeared. It seems pretty clear that March's theme will still be "Action", but could those other two have jumped forward to April and May? Or does RPK's comment about a surprise to speculators mean something totally out of left field? (Could some of Kromm's busy writing be Pyramid tent pole articles rather than independent supplements?

Ah, the mystery.
