In other words, it isn't a catalog of social structures, but more akin to a toolkit for defining your own ones. Quote:
I hope it will be released sooner than later :)

Re: Game of Thrones [Req.Social Advantages]
We'll see when it comes out. The pretentious title gives me a poor impression- but it may not reflect the quality of the work.

Re: Game of Thrones [Req.Social Advantages]
Social engineering is only the working title. It might change before publication. Also, it was one of the most active playtests I've been in, and I've been in several (IIRC it had more emaila than High Tech, while being much shorter)

Re: Game of Thrones [Req.Social Advantages]
Extensive playtesting is generally a good thing.

Re: Game of Thrones [Req.Social Advantages]
Well, the title already was extensively discussed and pondered by the author and the SJG-GURPS staff long before of the playtest. Anyway in midst of it, several alternate titles were proposed, and it wasn't easy to find one definitely better. Likely we'll need to wait for the actual release to seeing the final choice.

Re: Game of Thrones [Req.Social Advantages]
About Maesters? Or about forthcoming rules?
Pretentious? Really? I see it as a playful joke. A riff off of both the old hacker euphemism and world-building. |

I know as much as any of us on this forum know about the maesters. You aren't George Martin in disguise, are you? ;) I have no idea what 'old hacker euphemism' you might mean, SirPudding. |
