Speculation: e23 GURPS releases for the rest of 2009. - Page 7

More and meatier GURPS is on the way, of course. But since I like messing with you guys, I'll drop another vague hint for the schedule.

Expect at least one more non-GURPS product this year (hopefully, this month). Also, there's fair odds that it will come out alongside the normal weekly release.

I am disappointed though, the 2 GURPS items do nothing for me (even Free), and we didn't get any of the predicted November releases all of which are on my Buy Now list. Guess I'll just put my wallet away until next week.

The 'car-themed coloring book' is the counter sheet from the first AADA Vehicle Guide. The counters were originally black-and-white, IIRC. So, coloring them lets you customize and makes the counters more valuable to people like me who have laser printers but not color printers. Combined with the Car Wars Compedium 2.5, you're pretty well set to play Car Wars now with the PDF releases. Get a map with a square grid and 1"=15' scale, and you're good to go.So, yeah, the Car Wars release is pretty awesome for Car Wars fans-even if you didn't get rid of your stuff you probably lost a few counters and having the set printable makes it easy to use.

But the GURPS Range Ruler and an update of GURPS Supers: IST as to where it finds in Infinite Worlds are nice little free PDFs from e23.

(Crosses fingers, holds lucky dice, wishes on star, and looks for nearby shamrocks.)

Not an update - an add-on to integrate I.S.T. with Infinite Worlds. (And Bob's a bit too busy to write a real update right now, but if enough people download this freebie that SJGames decides to throw money at him, who knows what space in his schedule might open up?)

GURPS Spaceships 6: Mining and Space Industry is the second November release!

I know this post is way old, but I'd be happy is Low Tech was one of those crazy$40 256 pagers like Martial Arts was. As for the companions, I know there is a target page count even with PDF, but heck, they're PDFs they can be whatever page count you want.

That has nothing at all to do with the post that you quoted, which was about why Low-Tech and its Companions were going to take a long time to edit, and thus no one should expect to see them available anytime too soon.

They were saying it ran over "possible word count", which I know means it has taken a long time to edit (I think a good chunk of two months), but at some point it'll have to be edited for length to fit the too-long of content of the actual Low tech book into the typical 240 page count. I was saying I don't doubt many would feel too put out if it were a longer book.

Me too, but I don't have real hopes on that. They already explained their reasons for putting this book in four installments -three of them in PDF format.

Looks like your wish may have been granted by those on high!
