You have an eye for detail. So I have a question for you, was Sorcery listed as a series in the previous list?
I think a couple of items were added or rather broken out. I did not see anything new added but those breakouts (If I'm remembering right) are good signs.

Sorcery, as a series, has been on the wish list for a while. At least six months, if not more. I'm actually fairly sure it appeared on the list shortly after Sorcery itself came out, if not around the time Sorcery: Protection and Warding Spells was released.

Hall of Judgment was released today to Kickstarter backers. Sorry about the delay from original anticipation. I can assure you the reasons were valid.

Ok, thanks. I am sure more books were added to the reading lists but wasn't sure on some of the categories.

I added Hall of Judgement to the released list (used yesterday as adding another date might run over my character limit before year end).

Also some updates to the list, main new bit Kromm started work on another DF item! Also added the Pyramid Dungeon collection to the Spec List.

Did you see todays Illuminator?
Between this and the Third party licence Douglas Cole used for Hall of Judgement it sounds like we might see some serious testing of the external publishing idea people keep asking about.
Will it eventually lead to more GURPS stuff? A lot or a little?
Is this good or not? Only time will tell but I am curious on peoples opinions.

It's an interesting new policy. I wouldn't count on this having implications for GURPS, but it might if it goes well. This lets them experiment with managing fan-created content for sale without attaching it to an already established line. If it works out, perhaps we'll see something like it over on our side.

(Also, I suspect the license Doug got wasn't testing something new so much as it was Doug being the first minimally qualified publisher since ADB to approach them for a license. The import there is not SJ Games being willing to license, but somebody finally testing that proposition.)

Good point on that one.
And I think your also right on the TFT licencing but I am hoping it works out well enough to try for GURPS. Mostly just to shut up all the people saying SJG has to do it though.
I'm not confident on how well it would work out, though if limited to adventures or settings, not rules I would feel more confident.

I, for one, hope very much that the licensing experiment goes very, very well indeed.

Certainly, I'd like SJ Games's experiments to go well. In this particular case, there might even be a plausible hope that it could prove to be a net positive for the bottom line, though I don't think it's going to have a revolutionary effect on anything. More like continuing to preach to the converted, but in a slightly bigger church.
