GURPS Girl Genius

Puck Goodfellow · 11-19-2008, 10:17 AM

I was wondering about the progress of GURPS Girl Genius. I'm a huge fan of Girl Genius, and of course of GURPS. Actually getting GURPS Girl Genius would be a real Peanut Butter and Chocolate moment.

How is that Girl Genius Role-Playing-Game-and-Sourcebook, Powered by GURPS coming along?

Slower than it should have. But through the extremely patient help of Steve Jackson and his crack team of editors, I'm back on track with a new, improved outline and filling in the gaps nicely. We'll let you know when it's ready.

AFAIK, there have been no updates on the status of GG for over a year now. This is the most recent statement from Paul that I've found; Kaja's blog says even less.

My (completely uninformed) guess is that the first draft is still far from being finished, so we will still have to wait over a year or two to see the book published. Assming that the draft is finished soon and there are no further problems during playtest, final draft, editing and production. Frankly, I'm beginning to doubt we'll ever see it.

Cheers,
M.

The Foglios have no time to do it themselves. We have a designated hitter, and hopefully he'll get to this project eventually, but his day job is a higher priority at this time. That about sums it up.

Thank you for the update, Kromm!

Cheers,

Yes, it's very good to hear. I had already written off Girl Genius as vaporware, to be honest, because it seemed clear that Kaja had too much on her plate as it is.

Glad to hear its not a dead project.

I'm disappointed that it's on hold. But, as everyone else said, I'm glad that it's not a dead project. Oh well, no gaming Peanut Butter Cups for me.

I wonder who they will get to do the artwork for it?
